Static code analysis reveals the following bug:
net/openvswitch/conntrack.c:281 ovs_ct_helper()
warn: unsigned 'protoff' is never less than zero.
This signedness bug breaks error handling for IPv6 extension headers when
using conntrack helpers. Fix the error by using a local signed variable.
Fixes: cae3a2627520: "openvswitch: Allow attaching helpers to ct
action"
