[ Upstream commit d24f847e54214049814b9515771622eaab3f42ab ] ct_label 0 is a default label each flow has and therefore there can be rules that match on ct_label=0 without a prior rule that set the ct_label to this value. The ct_label value is not used directly in the HW rules and instead it is mapped to some id within a defined range and this id is used to set and match the metadata register which carries the ct_label. If we have a rule that matches on ct_label=0, the hw rule will perform matching on a value that is != 0 because of the mapping from label to id. Since the metadata register default value is 0 and it was never set before to anything else by an action that sets the ct_label, there will always be a mismatch between that register and the value in the rule. To support such rule, a forced mapping of ct_label 0 to id=0 is done so that it will match the metadata register default value of 0.

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.
