Subject: [PATCH 1/2] openvswitch: support asymmetric conntrack

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.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] act_ct: support asymmetric conntrack

The act_ct TC 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 act_ct action doesn't have such capability.

Like netfilter hook infrastructure, we should run through NAT twice to
keep the symmetry.

Next time, please:

1) Provide an introductory posting ala "[PATCH net 0/N] ..." describing
what the patch series does on a high level, how it is doing it, and
why it is doing it that way.

This allows people to understand what they are about to read, and it
gives me a single mail to respon to when I apply your entire series.

2) Always clearly indicate the target GIT tree in your Subject line,
in these cases it should have been "[PATCH net N/M]"

Thank you.
