commit 1e47ee8367babe6a5e8adf44a714c7086657b87e upstream.

canqun zhang reported that we're hitting BUG_ON in the
nf_conntrack_destroy path when calling kfree_skb while
rmmod'ing the nf_conntrack module.

Currently, the nf_ct_destroy hook is being set to NULL in the
destroy path of conntrack.init_net. However, this is a problem
since init_net may be destroyed before any other existing netns
(we cannot assume any specific ordering while releasing existing
netns according to what I read in recent emails).

Thanks to Gao feng for initial patch to address this issue.

<title>netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion</title>

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

This patch adds the new nf_ct_timeout_lookup function to encapsulate
the timeout policy attachment that is called in the nf_conntrack_in

<title>netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix racy timer handling with reliable events</title>

Existing code assumes that del_timer returns true for alive conntrack
entries. However, this is not true if reliable events are enabled.
In that case, del_timer may return true for entries that were
just inserted in the dying list. Note that packets / ctnetlink may
hold references to conntrack entries that were just inserted to such
list.

This patch fixes the issue by adding an independent timer for
event delivery. This increases the size of the ecache extension.
Still we can revisit this later and use variable size extensions
to allocate this area on demand.

For mangling IPv6 packets the protocol header offset needs to be known
by the NAT packet mangling functions. Add a so far unused protoff argument
and convert the conntrack and NAT helpers to use it in preparation of
IPv6 NAT.
