You are awesome, thank you!

Hi,

After the merge of this patch I fail to do ipv6 traffic in ovs.
Am I missing something?

ovs-vswitchd.log has this msg

2022-03-02T09:52:26.604Z|00013|odp_util(handler1)|WARN|attribute packet_type has length 2 but should have length 4

Thanks,
Roi


I think there is a missing userspace fix. didnt verify yet.
but in ovs userspace odp-netlink.h created from datapath/linux/compat/include/linux/openvswitch.h
and that file is not synced the change here.
So the new enum OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS is missing and also struct
ovs_key_ipv6_exthdrs which is needed in lib/udp-util.c
in struct ovs_flow_key_attr_lens to add expected len for
OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDR.
