[ Upstream commit 68bb10101e6b0a6bb44e9c908ef795fc4af99eae ]
The commit mentioned below causes the ovs_flow_tbl_lookup() function
to be called with the masked key. However, it's supposed to be called
with the unmasked key. This due to the fact that the datapath supports
installing wider flows, and OVS relies on this behavior. For example
if ipv4(src=1.1.1.1/192.0.0.0, dst=1.1.1.2/192.0.0.0) exists, a wider
flow (smaller mask) of ipv4(src=192.1.1.1/128.0.0.0,dst=192.1.1.2/
128.0.0.0) is allowed to be added.
However, if we try to add a wildcard rule, the installation fails:
$ ovs-appctl dpctl/add-flow system@myDP "in_port(1),eth_type(0x0800), \
ipv4(src=1.1.1.1/192.0.0.0,dst=1.1.1.2/192.0.0.0,frag=no)" 2
$ ovs-appctl dpctl/add-flow system@myDP "in_port(1),eth_type(0x0800), \
ipv4(src=192.1.1.1/0.0.0.0,dst=49.1.1.2/0.0.0.0,frag=no)" 2
ovs-vswitchd: updating flow table (File exists)
The reason is that the key used to determine if the flow is already
present in the system uses the original key ANDed with the mask.
This results in the IP address not being part of the (miniflow) key,
i.e., being substituted with an all-zero value. When doing the actual
lookup, this results in the key wrongfully matching the first flow,
and therefore the flow does not get installed.
This change reverses the commit below, but rather than having the key
on the stack, it's allocated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
