I think I understand the change here. Previously, if the actions executed during recirculation changed metadata fields, then any actions after the recirculation returns would see those new values. Now, all metadata are saved and restored across a recirculation. Right? Data fields are already saved and restored across recirculation, both before and after this patch, correct? Needs a sign-off. I guess I would prefix the first line as "dpif-netdev:" not "recirc:".
