[ Upstream commit eaf9e7192ec9af2fbf1b6eb2299dd0feca6c5f7e ]

Originally this used jhash2() over tuple and folded the zone id,
the pernet hash value, destination port and l4 protocol number into the
32bit seed value.

When the switch to siphash was done, I used an on-stack temporary
buffer to build a suitable key to be hashed via siphash().

But this showed up as performance regression, so I got rid of
the temporary copy and collected to-be-hashed data in 4 u64 variables.

This makes it easy to build tuples that produce the same hash, which isn't
desirable even though chain lengths are limited.

Switch back to plain siphash, but just like with jhash2(), take advantage
of the fact that most of to-be-hashed data is already in a suitable order.

Use an empty struct as annotation in 'struct nf_conntrack_tuple' to mark
last member that can be used as hash input.

The only remaining data that isn't present in the tuple structure are the
zone identifier and the pernet hash: fold those into the key.

[ Upstream commit 1689f25924ada8fe14a4a82c38925d04994c7142 ]

Overflow use refcount checks are not complete.

Add helper function to deal with object reference counter tracking.
Report -EMFILE in case UINT_MAX is reached.

nft_use_dec() splats in case that reference counter underflows,
which should not ever happen.

Add nft_use_inc_restore() and nft_use_dec_restore() which are used
to restore reference counter from error and abort paths.

Use u32 in nft_flowtable and nft_object since helper functions cannot
work on bitfields.

Remove the few early incomplete checks now that the helper functions
are in place and used to check for refcount overflow.

Exceptions: NFT_TRANS_PREPARE_ERROR does not require to drop the

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: fix chain binding transaction logic</title>

Add bound flag to rule and chain transactions as in 6a0a8d10a366
("netfilter: nf_tables: use-after-free in failing rule with bound set")
to skip them in case that the chain is already bound from the abort
path.

This patch fixes an imbalance in the chain use refcnt that triggers a
WARN_ON on the table and chain destroy path.

This patch also disallows nested chain bindings, which is not
supported from userspace.

The logic to deal with chain binding in nft_data_hold() and
nft_data_release() is not correct. The NFT_TRANS_PREPARE state needs a
special handling in case a chain is bound but next expressions in the
same rule fail to initialize as described by 1240eb93f061 ("netfilter:
nf_tables: incorrect error path handling with NFT_MSG_NEWRULE").

The chain is left bound if rule construction fails, so the objects
stored in this chain (and the chain itself) are released by the
transaction records from the abort path, follow up patch ("netfilter:
nf_tables: add NFT_TRANS_PREPARE_ERROR to deal with bound set/chain")
completes this error handling.

When deleting an existing rule, chain bound flag is set off so the
rule expression .destroy path releases the objects.

<title>net/sched: act_ct: Fix promotion of offloaded unreplied tuple</title>

Currently UNREPLIED and UNASSURED connections are added to the nf flow
table. This causes the following connection packets to be processed
by the flow table which then skips conntrack_in(), and thus such the
connections will remain UNREPLIED and UNASSURED even if reply traffic
is then seen. Even still, the unoffloaded reply packets are the ones
triggering hardware update from new to established state, and if
there aren't any to triger an update and/or previous update was
missed, hardware can get out of sync with sw and still mark
packets as new.

Fix the above by:
1) Not skipping conntrack_in() for UNASSURED packets, but still
   refresh for hardware, as before the cited patch.
2) Try and force a refresh by reply-direction packets that update
   the hardware rules from new to established state.
3) Remove any bidirectional flows that didn't failed to update in
   hardware for re-insertion as bidrectional once any new packet
   arrives.

The pipapo set backend follows copy-on-update approach, maintaining one
clone of the existing datastructure that is being updated. The clone
and current datastructures are swapped via rcu from the commit step.

The existing integration with the commit protocol is flawed because
there is no operation to clean up the clone if the transaction is
aborted. Moreover, the datastructure swap happens on set element
activation.

This patch adds two new operations for sets: commit and abort, these new
operations are invoked from the commit and abort steps, after the
transactions have been digested, and it updates the pipapo set backend
to use it.

This patch adds a new -&gt;pending_update field to sets to maintain a list
of sets that require this new commit and abort operations.

Toggle deleted anonymous sets as inactive in the next generation, so
users cannot perform any update on it. Clear the generation bitmask
in case the transaction is aborted.

The following KASAN splat shows a set element deletion for a bound
anonymous set that has been already removed in the same transaction.
