Flower rules on the NFP firmware are able to match on an IP protocol
field. When parsing rules in the driver, unknown IP protocols are only
rejected when further matches are to be carried out on layer 4 fields, as
the firmware will not be able to extract such fields from packets.
L4 protocol dissectors such as FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_PORTS are only parsed if
an IP protocol is specified. This leaves a loophole whereby a rule that
attempts to match on transport layer information such as port numbers but
does not explicitly give an IP protocol type can be incorrectly offloaded
(in this case with wildcard port numbers matches).
Fix this by rejecting the offload of flows that attempt to match on L4
information, not only when matching on an unknown IP protocol type, but
also when the protocol is wildcarded.

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.
