Re: [PATCH net v5 1/1] net: openvswitch: reallocate update replies for mismatched IDs

Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net.git (main)

ovs_flow_cmd_new() preallocates the optional reply skb before it takes
ovs_mutex and before it knows which existing flow will be updated.

That is normally fine because the skb is sized from the request flow
identifier.  That identifier also becomes the inserted flow's identifier.
For updates, however, a request with a UFID may miss the UFID lookup and
then fall back to the flow key lookup.  That lookup can legitimately find
an existing key-identified flow.  UFIDs are optional and the flow key is
the primary identifier.
