netfilter: nf_flow_table: add a new flow state for tearing down offloading
On cleanup, this will be treated differently from FLOW_OFFLOAD_DYING: If FLOW_OFFLOAD_DYING is set, the connection is going away, so both the offload state and the connection tracking entry will be deleted. If FLOW_OFFLOAD_TEARDOWN is set, the connection remains alive, but the offload state is torn down. This is useful for cases that require more complex state tracking / timeout handling on TCP, or if the connection has been idle for too long. Support for sending flows back to the slow path will be implemented in a following patch Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
