[ Upstream commit69929d4c49] Currently, the openvswitch module is not accepting the correctly formated netlink message for the TTL decrement action. For both setting and getting the dec_ttl action, the actions should be nested in the OVS_DEC_TTL_ATTR_ACTION attribute as mentioned in the openvswitch.h uapi. When the original patch was sent, it was tested with a private OVS userspace implementation. This implementation was unfortunately not upstreamed and reviewed, hence an erroneous version of this patch was sent out. Leaving the patch as-is would cause problems as the kernel module could interpret additional attributes as actions and vice-versa, due to the actions not being encapsulated/nested within the actual attribute, but being concatinated after it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
