I've sent a patch to upstream Linux, which should solve the problem:

Thanks Justin for the great work!!
Sorry that I didn't get time to review the series, just some quick
questions regarding the kernel bug you mentioned.

- What's the impact of having meter ID = 0? Does it mean the meters and ACL
rate limit feature can't be used at all, or is it just some limitations in
certain scenarios?

- For the bug fix, can we get it reviewed (and probably merged) in
datapath/compact first here in the OVS community without having to wait for
kernel upstream? What's the usual practice for kernel module patches?

Thanks,
Han
