Zhiling Zou 00f987f066 net: openvswitch: reallocate update replies for mismatched IDs
commit 5d1c224dd9 upstream.

ovs_flow_cmd_new() preallocates the optional reply skb before it takes
ovs_mutex and before it knows which existing flow will be updated.

That is normally fine because the skb is sized from the request flow
identifier.  That identifier also becomes the inserted flow's identifier.
For updates, however, a request with a UFID may miss the UFID lookup and
then fall back to the flow key lookup.  That lookup can legitimately find
an existing key-identified flow.  UFIDs are optional and the flow key is
the primary identifier.

For echoed replies, ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info() writes the matched flow's
identifier, not the request identifier used for the preallocation.  A short
request UFID can therefore leave too little room for the key identifier.
The fill can then fail with -EMSGSIZE and hit the BUG_ON(error < 0) in the
update path.

Once the update target has been resolved, reallocate the reply skb if the
matched flow needs a larger reply than the request identifier allowed.  Do
this before replacing the actions so the request can still fail cleanly if
the rare extra allocation fails.
