[PATCHv3 net-next 10/10] openvswitch: Allow attaching helpers to ct action

From: Joe Stringer
Date: Tue Aug 11 2015 - 19:00:35 EST


Add support for using conntrack helpers to assist protocol detection.
The new OVS_CT_ATTR_HELPER attribute of the ct action specifies a helper
to be used for this connection.

Example ODP flows allowing FTP connections from ports 1->2:
in_port=1,tcp,action=ct(helper=ftp,commit),2
in_port=2,tcp,ct_state=-trk,action=ct(),recirc(1)
recirc_id=1,in_port=2,tcp,ct_state=+trk-new+est,action=1
recirc_id=1,in_port=2,tcp,ct_state=+trk+rel,action=1
