Hi Pravin,

Any update feedback on this?

With this change, the actual flow lookup, ovs_flow_tbl_lookup(), is done using a masked key, where it should be an unmasked key. This is maybe more clear if you take a look at the diff for the ufid addition, 74ed7ab9264c ("openvswitch: Add support for unique flow IDs.").
