This change fixes an incomplete validation of the user's
flow attributes list.
Previous implementation validated only matching of IPv4 Ethertype
to IPv4 spec of outer headers (in case both Ethernet with specified
Ethertype and IP specs were present) and lacked the validation of:
1. Matching of IPv6 Ethertype in Ethernet spec (if such exists) to an
IPv6 protocol spec (if such exists).
2. Validation of Ethertype to IP protocol matching on inner headers specs.
Which could cause some combinations of unmatching Ethernet and IP
protocols to pass validation and apply on the device.
The fix adds validation of IPv6 Ethertype and IP spec as well as
performing the scan on both outer and inner attributes.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
