    openvswitch: Allow attaching helper in later commit · 248d45f1
    Yi-Hung Wei authored
    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.
