Hi team
The version is below:
OVN version: branch-21.09
OVS version: branch-2.16.2
we encounter a issue that ovn-controller generates some non-expected
openflows to forward packets to tunnel ports in table 37 when a localnet
port existed on the datapath. The related information is below:

The datapath tunnel_key is 0xd, its localnet port tunnel_key is 0x1
and its localport port tunnel_key is 0x2. From openflows related 0xd
datapath, the localnet port has not been acquired to generate the table
37 non-expected openflows. And other tables can identify the localnet
port, so other tables which generate openflows are correct. For example,
a openflow from table 38
```
cookie=0xce52adfe, duration=3803727.055s, table=38, n_packets=2475787,
n_bytes=162273290, idle_age=0, priority=100,reg15=0x8000,metadata=0xd
actions=set_field:0x1->reg15,resubmit(,39),set_field:0x70->reg13,set_field:0x3->reg15,resubmit(,39),set_field:0x72->reg13,set_field:0x26->reg13,set_field:0x29->reg15,resubmit(,39),set_field:0x39->reg13,set_field:0x33->reg15,resubmit(,39),set_field:0x8000->reg15
```
Based on the above information, we analyze the related ovn-controller
codes. Only one condition that the localnet port is not queried by
get_localnet_port function, the issue will occur.
However, a deeper analysis of the code did not yield more useful
information.
