Am I right in assuming that something like a "resubmit" action would be needed for recirculation in the kernel datapath? I have earlier implemented something like "recirculation" (as I understand it) with a special vport that provides it's output as input to the datapath. I.e., I have used the OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT to implement "recirculation" with a "loopback vport". It would be nice to get rid of that with a more explicit mechanism. Or have I completely misunderstood what you mean with recirculation here?
