The openvswitch module shares a common conntrack and NAT infrastructure
exposed via netfilter. It's possible that a packet needs both SNAT and
DNAT manipulation, due to e.g. tuple collision. Netfilter can support
this because it runs through the NAT table twice - once on ingress and
again after egress. The openvswitch module doesn't have such capability.
Like netfilter hook infrastructure, we should run through NAT twice to
keep the symmetry.
Fixes: 05752523e565 ("openvswitch: Interface with NAT.")
Signed-off-by: Aaron Conole <aconole@redhat.com>In this case, ovs_ct_find_existing() won't be able to find the conntrack, right? Inverting the tuple to find the conntrack doesn't work anymore with double NAT. Am I wrong? Regards, Nicolas
