Sorry for being trigger-happy, but even if I chose to implement datapath
actions, how can I inspect the packet data? For some reason I get a
NULL-pointer in ctx->xin->packet, while, e.g., OFPACT_OUTPUT in
do_xlate_actions gets the full packet.
The idea being that I could read some parameters and then install
several datapath actions based on these.
I install the flow using
ovs-ofctl add-flow S2 idle_timeout=20,dl_type=0x7a01,actions=foo:123
It trigs on a packet with this ethernet type, but I get null pointers in both
translate calls per packet.
I've got a pretty good debug environment set up now, so I'll continue
digging and check out the stuff you suggested.
