Invalid detection works with two distinct moments: act_ct tries to find a conntrack entry and set post_ct true, indicating that that was attempted. Then, when flow dissector tries to dissect CT info and no entry is there, it knows that it was tried and no entry was found, and synthesizes/sets key->ct_state = TCA_FLOWER_KEY_CT_FLAGS_TRACKED | TCA_FLOWER_KEY_CT_FLAGS_INVALID; mimicing what OVS does. OVS has this a bit more streamlined, as it recomputes the key after trying to find a conntrack entry for it. Issue here is, when we have 'tc action ct clear', it didn't clear post_ct, causing a subsequent match on 'ct_state -trk' to fail, due to the above. The fix, thus, is to clear it. Reproducer rules: tc filter add dev enp130s0f0np0_0 ingress prio 1 chain 0 \ protocol ip flower ip_proto tcp ct_state -trk \ action ct zone 1 pipe \ action goto chain 2 tc filter add dev enp130s0f0np0_0 ingress prio 1 chain 2 \ protocol ip flower \ action ct clear pipe \ action goto chain 4 tc filter add dev enp130s0f0np0_0 ingress prio 1 chain 4 \ protocol ip flower ct_state -trk \ action mirred egress redirect dev enp130s0f1np1_0 With the fix, the 3rd rule matches, like it does with OVS kernel datapath.

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.
