Thanks I see the problem. It looks like Pravin just sent out a patch
to fix this issue last night - "[PATCH net] openvswitch: Fix flow mask
validation.".

I see, now (I know the patch wasn't applied yet) on my net clone, the
complaint is a bit different...

openvswitch: netlink: Contain more than allowed mask fields
(mask_attrs=1205c, mask_allowed=19805c).
openvswitch: netlink: Contain more than allowed mask fields
(mask_attrs=19a05c, mask_allowed=19805c).

so same fix for that too?

It's the same problem, only the text string was changed in the meantime.
