Jarno Rajahalme dd41d33f0b openvswitch: Add force commit.
Stateful network admission policy may allow connections to one
direction and reject connections initiated in the other direction.
After policy change it is possible that for a new connection an
overlapping conntrack entry already exists, where the original
direction of the existing connection is opposed to the new
connection's initial packet.

Most importantly, conntrack state relating to the current packet gets
the "reply" designation based on whether the original direction tuple
or the reply direction tuple matched.  If this "directionality" is
wrong w.r.t. to the stateful network admission policy it may happen
that packets in neither direction are correctly admitted.

This patch adds a new "force commit" option to the OVS conntrack
action that checks the original direction of an existing conntrack
entry.  If that direction is opposed to the current packet, the
existing conntrack entry is deleted and a new one is subsequently
created in the correct direction.

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.
