Modify the offload algorithm of UDP connections to the following: - Offload NEW connection as unidirectional. - When connection state changes to ESTABLISHED also update the hardware flow. However, in order to prevent act_ct from spamming offload add wq for every packet coming in reply direction in this state verify whether connection has already been updated to ESTABLISHED in the drivers. If that it the case, then skip flow_table and let conntrack handle such packets which will also allow conntrack to potentially promote the connection to ASSURED. - When connection state changes to ASSURED set the flow_table flow NF_FLOW_HW_BIDIRECTIONAL flag which will cause refresh mechanism to offload the reply direction. All other protocols have their offload algorithm preserved and are always offloaded as bidirectional. Note that this change tries to minimize the load on flow_table add workqueue. First, it tracks the last ctinfo that was offloaded by using new flow 'NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED' flag and doesn't schedule the refresh for reply direction packets when the offloads have already been updated with current ctinfo. Second, when 'add' task executes on workqueue it always update the offload with current flow state (by checking 'bidirectional' flow flag and obtaining actual ctinfo/cookie through meta action instead of caching any of these from the moment of scheduling the 'add' work) preventing the need from scheduling more updates if state changed concurrently while the 'add' work was pending on workqueue.

README
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.
