Re: [PATCH v3 net-next 0/5] selftests: openvswitch: add flow programming cases

The openvswitch selftests currently contain a few cases for managing the datapath, which includes creating datapath instances, adding interfaces, and doing some basic feature / upcall tests. This is useful to validate the control path.

Add the ability to program some of the more common flows with actions. This can be improved overtime to include regression testing, etc.

v2->v3:

1. Dropped support for ipv6 in nat() case
2. Fixed a spelling mistake in 2/5 commit message.

v1->v2:

1. Fix issue when parsing ipv6 in the NAT action
2. Fix issue calculating length during ctact parsing
3. Fix error message when invalid bridge is passed
4. Fold in Adrian's patch to support key masks

FTR, this apparently requires an [un?]fairly recent version of pyroute2. Perhaps you could explicitly check for a minimum working version and otherwise bail out (skip) the add-flow tests.

Cheers,
