+/* Action structures for NXAST_RESUBMIT and NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE.
+ *
+ * These actions search one of the switch's flow tables:
+ *
+ * - For NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE only, if the 'table' member is not 255, then
+ * it specifies the table to search.
+ *
+ * - Otherwise (for NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE with a 'table' of 255, or for
+ * NXAST_RESUBMIT regardless of 'table'), it searches the current flow
+ * table, that is, the OpenFlow flow table that contains the flow from
+ * which this action was obtained. If this action did not come from a
+ * flow table (e.g. it came from an OFPT_PACKET_OUT message), then table 0
+ * is the current table.
+ *
+ * The flow table lookup uses a flow that may be slightly modified from the
+ * original lookup:
+ *
+ * - For NXAST_RESUBMIT, the 'in_port' member of struct nx_action_resubmit
+ * is used as the flow's in_port.
+ *
+ * - For NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE, if the 'in_port' member is not OFPP_IN_PORT,
+ * then its value is used as the flow's in_port. Otherwise, the original
+ * in_port is used.
+ *
+ * - If actions that modify the flow (e.g. OFPAT_SET_VLAN_VID) precede the
+ * resubmit action, then the flow is updated with the new values.
+ *
+ * Following the lookup, the original in_port is restored.
+ *
+ * If the modified flow matched in the flow table, then the corresponding
+ * actions are executed. Afterward, actions following the resubmit in the
+ * original set of actions, if any, are executed; any changes made to the
+ * packet (e.g. changes to VLAN) by secondary actions persist when those
+ * actions are executed, although the original in_port is restored.
+ *
+ * Resubmit actions may be used any number of times within a set of actions.
+ *
+ * Resubmit actions may nest to an implementation-defined depth. Beyond this
+ * implementation-defined depth, further resubmit actions are simply ignored.
+ *
+ * NXAST_RESUBMIT ignores 'table' and 'pad'. NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE requires
+ * 'pad' to be all-bits-zero.
+ *

+ * before 1.2.90 did not support NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE.

+/* Flexible flow specifications (aka NXM = Nicira Extended Match).
+ *
+ * OpenFlow 1.0 has "struct ofp_match" for specifying flow matches. This
+ * structure is fixed-length and hence difficult to extend. This section
+ * describes a more flexible, variable-length flow match, called "nx_match" for
+ * short, that is also supported by Open vSwitch. This section also defines a
+ * replacement for each OpenFlow message that includes struct ofp_match.
+ *
+ *
+ * Format
+ * ======
+ *
+ * An nx_match is a sequence of zero or more "nxm_entry"s, which are
+ * type-length-value (TLV) entries, each 5 to 259 (inclusive) bytes long.
+ * "nxm_entry"s are not aligned on or padded to any multibyte boundary. The
+ * first 4 bytes of an nxm_entry are its "header", followed by the entry's
+ * "body".
+ *
+ * An nxm_entry's header is interpreted as a 32-bit word in network byte order:
+ *
+ * |<-------------------- nxm_type ------------------>|
+ * | |
+ * |31 16 15 9| 8 7 0
+ * +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
+ * | nxm_vendor | nxm_field |hm| nxm_length |
+ * +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
+ *
+ * The most-significant 23 bits of the header are collectively "nxm_type".
+ * Bits 16...31 are "nxm_vendor", one of the NXM_VENDOR_* values below. Bits
+ * 9...15 are "nxm_field", which is a vendor-specific value. nxm_type normally
+ * designates a protocol header, such as the Ethernet type, but it can also
+ * refer to packet metadata, such as the switch port on which a packet arrived.
+ *
+ * Bit 8 is "nxm_hasmask" (labeled "hm" above for space reasons). The meaning
+ * of this bit is explained later.
+ *
+ * The least-significant 8 bits are "nxm_length", a positive integer. The
+ * length of the nxm_entry, including the header, is exactly 4 + nxm_length
+ * bytes.
+ *
+ * For a given nxm_vendor, nxm_field, and nxm_hasmask value, nxm_length is a
+ * constant. It is included only to allow software to minimally parse
+ * "nxm_entry"s of unknown types. (Similarly, for a given nxm_vendor,
+ * nxm_field, and nxm_length, nxm_hasmask is a constant.)
+ *
+ *
+ * Semantics
+ * =========
+ *
+ * A zero-length nx_match (one with no "nxm_entry"s) matches every packet.
+ *
+ * An nxm_entry places a constraint on the packets matched by the nx_match:
+ *
+ * - If nxm_hasmask is 0, the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
+ * field, called "nxm_value". The nx_match matches only packets in which
+ * the field equals nxm_value.
+ *
+ * - If nxm_hasmask is 1, then the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
+ * field (nxm_value), followed by a bitmask of the same length as the
+ * value, called "nxm_mask". For each 1-bit in position J in nxm_mask, the
+ * nx_match matches only packets for which bit J in the given field's value
+ * matches bit J in nxm_value. A 0-bit in nxm_mask causes the
+ * corresponding bits in nxm_value and the field's value to be ignored.
+ * (The sense of the nxm_mask bits is the opposite of that used by the
+ * "wildcards" member of struct ofp_match.)
+ *
+ * When nxm_hasmask is 1, nxm_length is always even.
+ *
+ * An all-zero-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to omitting the nxm_entry
+ * entirely. An all-one-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to specifying 0 for
+ * nxm_hasmask.
+ *
+ * When there are multiple "nxm_entry"s, all of the constraints must be met.
+ *
+ *
+ * Mask Restrictions
+ * =================
+ *
+ * Masks may be restricted:
+ *
+ * - Some nxm_types may not support masked wildcards, that is, nxm_hasmask
+ * must always be 0 when these fields are specified. For example, the
+ * field that identifies the port on which a packet was received may not be
+ * masked.
+ *
+ * - Some nxm_types that do support masked wildcards may only support certain
+ * nxm_mask patterns. For example, fields that have IPv4 address values
+ * may be restricted to CIDR masks.
+ *
+ * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
+ * A switch may accept an nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that the specification
+ * disallows, if the switch correctly implements support for that nxm_hasmask
+ * or nxm_mask value. A switch must reject an attempt to set up a flow that
+ * contains a nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that it does not support.
+ *
+ *
+ * Prerequisite Restrictions
+ * =========================
+ *
+ * The presence of an nxm_entry with a given nxm_type may be restricted based
+ * on the presence of or values of other "nxm_entry"s. For example:
+ *
+ * - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_TOS is allowed only if it is
+ * preceded by another entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0,
+ * and nxm_value=0x0800. That is, matching on the IP source address is
+ * allowed only if the Ethernet type is explicitly set to IP.
+ *
+ * - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_TCP_SRC is allowed only if it is preced
+ * by an entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0,
+ * nxm_value=0x0800 and another with nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_PROTO,
+ * nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_value=6, in that order. That is, matching on the TCP
+ * source port is allowed only if the Ethernet type is IP and the IP
+ * protocol is TCP.
+ *
+ * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
+ * A switch may implement relaxed versions of these restrictions. A switch
+ * must reject an attempt to set up a flow that violates its restrictions.
+ *
+ *
+ * Ordering Restrictions
+ * =====================
+ *
+ * An nxm_entry that has prerequisite restrictions must appear after the
+ * "nxm_entry"s for its prerequisites. Ordering of "nxm_entry"s within an
+ * nx_match is not otherwise constrained.
+ *
+ * Any given nxm_type may appear in an nx_match at most once.
+ *
+ *
+ * nxm_entry Examples
+ * ==================
+ *
+ * These examples show the format of a single nxm_entry with particular
+ * nxm_hasmask and nxm_length values. The diagrams are labeled with field
+ * numbers and byte indexes.
+ *
+ *

+ * | header | nxm_value | nxm_mask |
+ * +------------+------------------+------------------+
+ *
+ *
+ * Error Reporting
+ * ===============
+ *
+ * A switch should report an error in an nx_match using error type
+ * OFPET_BAD_REQUEST and one of the NXBRC_NXM_* codes. Ideally the switch
+ * should report a specific error code, if one is assigned for the particular
+ * problem, but NXBRC_NXM_INVALID is also available to report a generic
+ * nx_match error.
