Subject: ofproto: Use original in_port for executing NXAST_RESUBMIT actions.
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2c5d1389238951aa3c8a7382a39dc93033733120;p=openvswitch

ofproto: Use original in_port for executing NXAST_RESUBMIT actions.

If NXAST_RESUBMIT adopts the replacement in_port for executing actions,
then OFPP_NORMAL will believe that traffic originated from whatever port
that is.  This seems unlikely to ever be useful and in fact breaks
applications that use NXAST_RESUBMIT for two-stage ACLs.

Bug #2644.
