Goal of this patch is to permit nfnetlink providers not mandate
nfnl_mutex being held while nfnetlink_rcv_msg() calls them.

If struct nfnl_callback contains a non NULL call_rcu(), then
nfnetlink_rcv_msg() will use it instead of call() field, holding
rcu_read_lock instead of nfnl_mutex

This patch fixes a bug that allows to lose events when reliable
event delivery mode is used, ie. if NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR
and NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS socket options are set.

<title>netfilter: passive OS fingerprint xtables match</title>

Passive OS fingerprinting netfilter module allows to passively detect
remote OS and perform various netfilter actions based on that knowledge.
This module compares some data (WS, MSS, options and it's order, ttl, df
and others) from packets with SYN bit set with dynamically loaded OS
fingerprints.

Fingerprint matching rules can be downloaded from OpenBSD source tree
or found in archive and loaded via netfilter netlink subsystem into
the kernel via special util found in archive.

Archive contains library file (also attached), which was shipped
with iptables extensions some time ago (at least when ipt_osf existed
in patch-o-matic).

Following changes were made in this release:
 * added NLM_F_CREATE/NLM_F_EXCL checks
 * dropped _rcu list traversing helpers in the protected add/remove calls
 * dropped unneded structures, debug prints, obscure comment and check

Fingerprints can be downloaded from
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/etc/pf.os
or can be found in archive

Example usage:
-d switch removes fingerprints

Please consider for inclusion.
Thank you.

<title>netfilter: conntrack: replace notify chain by function pointer</title>

<id>e34d5c1a4f9919a81b4ea4591d7383245f35cb8e</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch removes the notify chain infrastructure and replace it
by a simple function pointer. This issue has been mentioned in the
mailing list several times: the use of the notify chain adds
too much overhead for something that is only used by ctnetlink.

This patch also changes nfnetlink_send(). It seems that gfp_any()
returns GFP_KERNEL for user-context request, like those via
ctnetlink, inside the RCU read-side section which is not valid.
Using GFP_KERNEL is also evil since netlink may schedule(),
this leads to "scheduling while atomic" bug reports.

Netfilter traditionally uses BSD integer types in its
interface headers. This changes it to use the Linux
strict integer types, like everyone else.
