Pablo Neira Ayuso 2bb4ecb334 netfilter: flowtable: GC pushes back packets to classic path
[ Upstream commit 735795f68b ]

Since 41f2c7c342 ("net/sched: act_ct: Fix promotion of offloaded
unreplied tuple"), flowtable GC pushes back flows with IPS_SEEN_REPLY
back to classic path in every run, ie. every second. This is because of
a new check for NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED which is specific of sched/act_ct.

In Netfilter's flowtable case, NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED never gets set on
and IPS_SEEN_REPLY is unreliable since users decide when to offload the
flow before, such bit might be set on at a later stage.

Fix it by adding a custom .gc handler that sched/act_ct can use to
deal with its NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED bit.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
