[ovs-dev] ovs userspace still missing support for "timeout" ct action

Hello,
The kernel grew support for a ct action "timeout" property here:
openvswitch: Add timeout support to ct action
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=06bd2bdf19d2
And userspace ovs supposedly added support here:
datapath: Add support for conntrack timeout policy
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/commit/ebe62ec1b915
But, if you actually try to use it (the example syntax from commit
06bd2bdf19d2):
# ovs-ofctl -V
ovs-ofctl (Open vSwitch) 2.13.90
# ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 'in_port=1,ip,tcp,action=ct(commit,timeout=timeout_1)'
ovs-ofctl: invalid argument to "ct" action: `timeout'
The error bubbles up from parse_CT() which it seems was overlooked by
ebe62ec1b915 as it has no check for a "timeout" string.
Or am I doing this all wrong?
Thank you,
Patrick
