net: openvswitch: fix misuse of the cached connection on tuple changes
If packet headers changed, the cached nfct is no longer relevant for the packet and attempt to re-use it leads to the incorrect packet classification. This issue is causing broken connectivity in OpenStack deployments with OVS/OVN due to hairpin traffic being unexpectedly dropped. The setup has datapath flows with several conntrack actions and tuple changes between them: actions:ct(commit,zone=8,mark=0/0x1,nat(src)), set(eth(src=00:00:00:00:00:01,dst=00:00:00:00:00:06)), set(ipv4(src=172.18.2.10,dst=192.168.100.6,ttl=62)), ct(zone=8),recirc(0x4) After the first ct() action the packet headers are almost fully re-written. The next ct() tries to re-use the existing nfct entry and marks the packet as invalid, so it gets dropped later in the pipeline. Clearing the cached conntrack entry whenever packet tuple is changed to avoid the issue. The flow key should not be cleared though, because we should still be able to match on the ct_state if the recirculation happens after the tuple change but before the next ct() action.
