openvswitch: Add timeout support to ct action
Add support for fine-grain timeout support to conntrack action. The new OVS_CT_ATTR_TIMEOUT attribute of the conntrack action specifies a timeout to be associated with this connection. If no timeout is specified, it acts as is, that is the default timeout for the connection will be automatically applied. Example usage: $ nfct timeout add timeout_1 inet tcp syn_sent 100 established 200 $ ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 in_port=1,ip,tcp,action=ct(commit,timeout=timeout_1) CC: Pravin Shelar <pshelar@ovn.org> CC: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Yi-Hung Wei <yihung.wei@gmail.com> Acked-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@ovn.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
