Hi Jesse,

I was looking at ovs dp code, and is looking at a correct way for a
 flow to traverse the table twice. The goal is like this:

flow lookup => tbl_lookup()
perform actions => execute_actions() which changes the packet
flow lookup using the new packet => tbl_lookup()
perform actions on the new packet => execute_actions.

I saw resubmit code, but looks like it is in userspace instead of
datapath. I am not sure how resubmit works. Understanding resubmit
might help me achieving this goal.

Thanks!
Yimin
