Re: [net] openvswitch: Allow deferred action fifo to expand during run time

From: Andy Zhou <redacted>

Current openvswitch implementation allows up to 10 recirculation actions
for each packet. This limit was sufficient for most use cases in the
past, but with more new features, such as supporting connection
tracking, and testing in larger scale network environment,
This limit may be too restrictive.

 ...

Actions that need to recirculate that many times are extremely poorly
designed, and will have significant performance problems.

I think the way rules are put together and processed should be redone
before we do insane stuff like this.

There is no way I'm applying a patch like this, sorry.
