+Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: fix bidirectional offload regression
+
+Commit 8f84780b84d6 ("netfilter: flowtable: allow unidirectional rules")
+made unidirectional flow offload possible, while completely ignoring (and
+breaking) bidirectional flow offload for nftables.
+Add the missing flag that was left out as an exercise for the reader :)
