Currently, for performance reasons on gateway routers, ct_snat that does not specify an IP address does not immediately trigger recirculation. On gateway routers, ct_snat that does not specify an IP address happens in the UNSNAT pipeline stage, which is followed by the DNAT pipeline stage that triggers recirculation for all packets. This DNAT pipeline stage recirculation takes care of the recirculation needs of UNSNAT as well as other cases such as UNDNAT.
On distributed routers, UNDNAT is handled in the egress pipeline stage, separately from DNAT in the ingress pipeline stages. The DNAT pipeline stage only triggers recirculation for some packets. Due to this difference in design, UNSNAT needs to trigger its own recirculation. This patch restricts the logic that avoids recirculation for ct_snat, so that it only applies to datapaths representing gateway routers.
