Title:
  ovs-fw does not reinstate GRE conntrack entry

Status in NULL Project:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  *High level description:*
    We have VMs running GRE tunnels between them with OVSFW and SG
    implemented along with GRE conntrack helper loaded on the hypervisor.
    GRE works as expected but the tunnel breaks whenever there is a
    neutron ovs agent event causing some exception like the below AMQP
    timeouts or OVSFW port not found :

  
    AMQP Timeout :

    The agent throws out of sync messages and starts to initialize
  neutron ports once again along with fresh SG rules.

    During this process, when it prepares new filters for all ports, its
    marking the conntrack entry for certain GRE connection(high traffic)
    as invalid.
    root@server:/var/log# conntrack -L -o extended -p gre -f ipv4
    ipv4 2 gre 47 178 src=1.1.1.203 dst=2.2.2.66 srckey=0x0 dstkey=0x0 src=2.2.2.66 dst=1.1.1.203 srckey=0x0 dstkey=0x0 [ASSURED] mark=1 zone=5 use=1
    ipv4 2 gre 47 179 src=5.5.5.104 dst=4.4.4.187 srckey=0x0 dstkey=0x0 src=4.4.4.187 dst=5.5.5.104 srckey=0x0 dstkey=0x0 [ASSURED] mark=0 zone=5 use=1

    And that connection state remains invalid, unless someone reboots the
    VM, or flushes the connection directly on the conntrack or through
    OVS.

    We have a blanket any protocol any port any IP SG rule during this
    scenario, we even tried adding specific rules to allow IP 47 for GRE.
    But nothing fixed this problem.

    Was checking for ovs-conntrack helper specific bugs and came across
    patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/755615/ - is this bug being
    triggered in the above scenario ? Is this a bug in the ovs-fw code or
    this something on the ovs-conntrack implementation.
