When there is an established connection in direction A->B, it is possible to receive a packet on port B which then executes ct(commit,force) without first performing ct() - ie, a lookup. In this case, we would expect that this packet can delete the existing entry so that we can commit a connection with direction B->A. However, currently we only perform a check in skb_nfct_cached() for whether OVS_CS_F_TRACKED is set and OVS_CS_F_INVALID is not set, ie that a lookup previously occurred. In the above scenario, a lookup has not occurred but we should still be able to statelessly look up the existing entry and potentially delete the entry if it is in the opposite direction. This patch extends the check to also hint that if the action has the force flag set, then we will lookup the existing entry so that the force check at the end of skb_nfct_cached has the ability to delete the connection.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
