<title>netfilter: Pass net into okfn</title>

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter.  Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.

As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.

To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn.  For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

We can use union for most of the temporary cruft (original ipv4/ipv6
address, source mac, physoutdev) since they're used during different
stages of br netfilter traversal.

Also get rid of the last two -&gt;mask users.

Shrinks struct from 48 to 32 on 64bit arch.

since commit d6b915e29f4adea9
("ip_fragment: don't forward defragmented DF packet") the largest
fragment size is available in the IPCB.

Therefore we no longer need to care about 'encapsulation'
overhead of stripped PPPOE/VLAN headers since ip_do_fragment
doesn't use device mtu in such cases.

nf_bridge_info-&gt;mask is used for several things, for example to
remember if skb-&gt;pkt_type was set to OTHER_HOST.

For a bridge, OTHER_HOST is expected case. For ip forward its a non-starter
though -- routing expects PACKET_HOST.

Bridge netfilter thus changes OTHER_HOST to PACKET_HOST before hook
invocation and then un-does it after hook traversal.

This information is irrelevant outside of br_netfilter.

After this change, -&gt;mask now only contains flags that need to be
known outside of br_netfilter in fast-path.

Future patch changes mask into a 2bit state field in sk_buff, so that
we can remove skb-&gt;nf_bridge pointer for good and consider all remaining
places that access nf_bridge info content a not-so fastpath.

-&gt;mask is a bit info field that mixes various use cases.

In particular, we have flags that are mutually exlusive, and flags that
are only used within br_netfilter while others need to be exposed to
other parts of the kernel.

Remove BRNF_8021Q/PPPoE flags.  They're mutually exclusive and only
needed within br_netfilter context.

right now we store this in the nf_bridge_info struct, accessible
via skb-&gt;nf_bridge.  This patch prepares removal of this pointer from skb:

Instead of using skb-&gt;nf_bridge-&gt;x, we use helpers to obtain the in/out
device (or ifindexes).

Followup patches to netfilter will then allow nf_bridge_info to be
obtained by a call into the br_netfilter core, rather than keeping a
pointer to it in sk_buff.

<title>netfilter: Pass socket pointer down through okfn().</title>

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts.  First, and usually skb-&gt;sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.

And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.

We do not want to disassociate skb-&gt;sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.

The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device.  We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.

The br_netfilter frag output function calls skb_cow_head() so in
case it needs a larger headroom to e.g. re-add a previously stripped PPPOE
or VLAN header things will still work (at cost of reallocation).

We can then move nf_bridge_encap_header_len to br_netfilter.
