Title:
  Not possible to offload ct_state flows (OVS firewalling in openstack)

Status in openvswitch package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Running Ubuntu 18.04, kernel 4.15.0-47-generic, openvswitch 2.10.0-0ubuntu2~cloud0.
  I enabled OVS offloading in OpenStack by following https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/rocky/admin/config-ovs-offload.html

  It would appear that if you use OVS firewalling in neutron, neutron
  will create flows with the "ct_state" property, and these flows cannot
  be offloaded :

  (from /var/log/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.log) :
