Felix Fietkau 59c466dd68 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

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
