This code can be executed on encapsulated geneve or vxlan packets.
How? The encapsulation header is in the form of metadata_dst at this
point and not present in the packet itself. Am I missing something?
We could have encapsulated packet defragmented in physical bridge.
that mean the packet is entering OVS after egressing tunnel device.
That use case would break due to this patch.
If this patch is wrong, then the current push_mpls is wrong, too, it
does the same assumption.
I am not sure what you mean, can you explain?
