[ovs-dev] [PATCH branch-2.7 0/1] Upstream kernel fixes for branch-2.7

The following commit has provided a fix upstream to Linux but the fix has not
made its way into the OVS tree's backport yet:

75f01a4c9cc2 ("openvswitch: maintain correct checksum state in conntrack actions")

In the interests of providing all available fixes for v2.7 prior to release, I
propose that we apply this patch to branch-2.7. There is ongoing separate
efforts to sync the OVS tree backport on the master branch with upstream
net-next; This patch has not been applied to master yet but I would expect
those efforts to propose this patch also, but within the canonical order that
it arrived in the upstream tree. Ideally in future we would sync master with
upstream around the time of the release to ensure that the latest kernel
features and fixes are applied to the backports.
