Hi Dumitru,

Thanks for the v2. I had one small nit on patch 6. Aside from that (and Numan's comments), looks good.

Scale tests have identified the lflow cache to be one of the main memory
consumers in ovn-controller.  This series refactors the lflow cache code
and adds configuration knobs to limit the size (in lines and/or memory)
of the cache.

Patches 1 and 6 fix issues with the already existing lflow cache code.
Even though patch 6 is a bug fix, it's easier to add it later in the
series because it uses the new lflow cache statistics (from patch 4)
to add a unit test that exercises the buggy scenario.

Changes in v2:
- Added two bug fixes for already existing problems (patches 1 and 6).
- Added unit tests as requested by Mark.
- Added support for evicting "less important" entries when the cache
   limit is reached.
- Improved cache entries memory accounting.
