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>The patch looks ok. But I am not able apply it. can you fix the encoding.
Hrrm. I didn't make any special changes (just used git send-email). I will look at spinning a second patch.
