【OVS2.5.0源码分析】datapath之action分析（1）
OVS dp支持的action都在do_execute_actions函数中定义，支持的action包括：OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT、OVS_ACTION_ATTR_USERSPACE、OVS_ACTION_ATTR_HASH、OVS_ACTION_ATTR_PUSH_MPLS、OVS_ACTION_ATTR_POP_MPLS、OVS_ACTION_ATTR_PUSH_VLAN、OVS_ACTION_ATTR_POP_VLAN、OVS_ACTION_ATTR_RECIRC、OVS_ACTION_ATTR_SET、OVS_ACTION_ATTR_SET_MASKED、OVS_ACTION_ATTR_SET_TO_MASKED、OVS_ACTION_ATTR_SAMPLE、OVS_ACTION_ATTR_CT。本系列要完成这些action的分析，output已经在之前介绍datapath主流程时已经介绍，不再进行介绍。
OVS_ACTION_ATTR_USERSPACE的处理函数为output_userspace函数，以此函数作为入口进行分析。

到此可以看到userspace action和精确流表未匹配导致的upcall在处理流程上是比较一致的，两者都是通过调用ovs_dp_upcall函数实现信息发送到用户态程序。upcall处理线程是如何处理的不在本篇分析，将在后续给出分析。
通过userspace能够实现什么功能呢？ 现在还想不出，等分析upcall处理后，再回过头来回答这个问题。
