OK, I think that my suggestion for that patch (patchwork 739796) was
actually addressing a subtly different issue.

With regards to this issue, as far as I understand back to the
original report, connection with tuple A is committed to the
connection tracker. A is then statelessly modified to tuple B, then a
lookup with B is performed. Typically if you have tuple A or tuple A'
(ie, the reversed tuple) in the packet headers then looking up with
either of these headers will find the same connection. If you then
perform a lookup with tuple B, then it can only look up using B or B';
no state was kept about the translation from A->B, so there's no way
for the connection tracker to associate tuple B back to tuple A.
Lookup using B and B' cannot find a connection because it was never
committed like that. Therefore it would be new. However, since B is a
SYN-ACK packet, the Linux connection tracker considers that it is
invalid rather than new. For it to work, the tuple B', ie the original
SYN, should be committed first.
