Upstream commit: commit 248d45f1e1934f7849fbdc35ef1e57151cf063eb Author: Yi-Hung Wei <yihung.wei@gmail.com> Date: Fri Oct 4 09:26:44 2019 -0700 openvswitch: Allow attaching helper in later commit This patch allows to attach conntrack helper to a confirmed conntrack entry. Currently, we can only attach alg helper to a conntrack entry when it is in the unconfirmed state. This patch enables an use case that we can firstly commit a conntrack entry after it passed some initial conditions. After that the processing pipeline will further check a couple of packets to determine if the connection belongs to a particular application, and attach alg helper to the connection in a later stage.
