[ovs-discuss] system at dp0: execute 0, 1 failed (Invalid argument) on packet

[Jesse Gross]

It does seem to be the same as the message on the mailing list, which
I don't think was ever understood.  I tried and failed to reproduce
this with packet outs and I think that Ben was previously unsuccessful
with LLDP packets.

Can you try the attached patch?  It just breaks out the various causes
of failure instead of reporting a generic EINVAL.  It's a kernel
patch, so you'll have to reload the kernel module and then look for
relevant log messages in dmesg.
