[Bug 2066906] Re: [noble] Missing fix for continuations with associated metering.

[Frode Nordahl]

Hello, Mauricio,

Thank you for your thorough review.

The version was chosen knowing that there is a higher order version
already present in Oracular and that a point release update will
eventually be SRU'ed using the full `0.24.04.1` suffix, I could still
have used the micro version as you propose and I will remember that for
the next update, thank you for pointing it out.

The patch file could indeed deserve a DEP-3 header, I definitively use
those whenever we need to adapt the patch, this one applied straight
from the upstream stable branch, so not adding it was an oversight. Will
make sure to add those for future uploads.

Title:
  [noble] Missing fix for continuations with associated metering.

Status in openvswitch package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in openvswitch source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]
  There is a bug in Open vSwitch which is required for successful build and test run for OVN 24.03.2.
  (Bug 2066908: [SRU] ovn 24.03.2 point release)

  [ Test plan ]
  - Build and test the OVN 24.03.2 package.
  - Check openvswitch build log for new test (must pass/'ok')
    `ofproto-dpif - continuation with meters`

  [ Regression Potential ]
  Minimal, the fix has been available for some time upstream already and has been deemed safe to backport all the way to Open vSwitch 2.17 by the upstream maintainers.

  Regressions would likely manifest in the areas modified by the patch:
  - invoking a controller action by way of a sample action with a specified meter;
  sample action is generated during xlate processing and/or (now) continuation.

  [ Other Info ]
  The bug has been fixed upstream, and there is a patch available for branch-3.3 [0].
