[ Upstream commit 66cb64e292d21588bdb831f08a7ec0ff04d6380d ]
The cited commit changed promisc table to be created on demand with the
highest priority in the NIC table replacing the vlan table, this caused
tc NIC tables miss flow to skip the prmoisc table because it use vlan
table as miss table.
OVS offload in NIC mode use promisc by default so any unicast packet
which will be handled by tc NIC tables miss flow will skip the promisc
rule and will be dropped.
Fix this by adding new empty table in new tc level with low priority and
point the nic tc chain miss to it, the new table is managed so it will
point to vlan table if promisc is disabled and to promisc table if enabled.

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.
