Hello Ben,
This is more of a best practices question related to this action that I
implemented.
What do you guys usually use or recommend regarding new complex actions
(complex as in it modifies more fields), is it better to define the
action similarly to the nicira extended actions or should I just create
an action for each field that needs to be modified?
On my exact case, should I define my action as "nx_my_action:..." or
should I use a set of "mod_field_1:...,mod_field_2:...,etc."?
Thanks,
Andrei

Hello Ben,
Thank you for your answer.
I hadn't added the action to the datapath but while I was writing this
email and wanted to ask you where I should look for the entry point
(thinking it should be somewhere in "odp-util.c") I found the entry
point and added my action to the datapath.
It now works.
Thank you again,
Andrei

I managed to follow the nicira extended actions and created one of my own.
I did stumble upon an issue that I can't find a solution to though.
The action I've made has to overwrite the packets arp body (amongst
other things).
I managed to make my action compatible with openflow, and it gets
stored (and recognized) and I can see it just fine with `ovs-ofctl
dump-flows my-bridge` but not within the datapath flows.
Did you add a datapath action to overwrite the ARP body? I don't see
any action like that in the datapath flows you showed us.
