netfilter: flowtable: GC pushes back packets to classic path
[ Upstream commit 735795f68b37e9bb49f642407a0d49b1631ea1c7 ]
Since 41f2c7c342d3 ("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.
Fixes: 41f2c7c342d3 ("net/sched: act_ct: Fix promotion of offloaded unreplied tuple")
