Conflicts:
	net/netfilter/nf_log.c

The conflict in nf_log.c is that in 'net' we added CONFIG_PROC_FS
protection around foo_proc_entry() calls to fix a build failure,
whereas in Pablo's tree a guard if() test around a call is
remove_proc_entry() was removed.  Trivially resolved.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
The following patchset contains the first batch of
Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree, they are:

* Three patches with improvements and code refactorization
  for nfnetlink_queue, from Florian Westphal.

* FTP helper now parses replies without brackets, as RFC1123
  recommends, from Jeff Mahoney.

* Rise a warning to tell everyone about ULOG deprecation,
  NFLOG has been already in the kernel tree for long time
  and supersedes the old logging over netlink stub, from
  myself.

* Don't panic if we fail to load netfilter core framework,
  just bail out instead, from myself.

* Add cond_resched_rcu, used by IPVS to allow rescheduling
  while walking over big hashtables, from Simon Horman.

* Change type of IPVS sysctl_sync_qlen_max sysctl to avoid
  possible overflow, from Zhang Yanfei.

* Use strlcpy instead of strncpy to skip zeroing of already
  initialized area to write the extension names in ebtables,
  from Chen Gang.

* Use already existing per-cpu notrack object from xt_CT,
  from Eric Dumazet.

* Save explicit socket lookup in xt_socket now that we have
  early demux, also from Eric Dumazet.

'name' has already set all zero when it is defined, so not need let
strncpy() to pad it again.

'name' is a string, better always let is NUL terminated, so use
strlcpy() instead of strncpy().

Since (69b34fb netfilter: xt_LOG: add net namespace support
for xt_LOG), we hit this:

[ 4224.708977] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000388
[ 4224.709074] IP: [&lt;ffffffff8147f699&gt;] ipt_log_packet+0x29/0x270

when callling log functions from conntrack both in and out
are NULL i.e. the net pointer is invalid.

Adding struct net *net in call to nf_logfn() will secure that
there always is a vaild net ptr.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
The following patchset contains Netfilter and IPVS updates for
your net-next tree, most relevantly they are:

* Add net namespace support to NFLOG, ULOG and ebt_ulog and NFQUEUE.
  The LOG and ebt_log target has been also adapted, but they still
  depend on the syslog netnamespace that seems to be missing, from
  Gao Feng.

* Don't lose indications of congestion in IPv6 fragmentation handling,
  from Hannes Frederic Sowa.i

* IPVS conversion to use RCU, including some code consolidation patches
  and optimizations, also some from Julian Anastasov.

* cpu fanout support for NFQUEUE, from Holger Eitzenberger.

* Better error reporting to userspace when dropping packets from
  all our _*_[xfrm|route]_me_harder functions, from Patrick McHardy.

Add pernet support to ebt_ulog by means of the new nf_log_set
function added in (30e0c6a netfilter: nf_log: prepare net
namespace support for loggers).

This patch also make ulog_buffers and netlink socket

Since syslog ns has yet not been implemented, we don't want

only from init_net and wait for syslog ns support.

This patch adds netns support to nf_log and it prepares netns
support for existing loggers. It is composed of four major
changes.

1) nf_log_register has been split to two functions: nf_log_register
   and nf_log_set. The new nf_log_register is used to globally
   register the nf_logger and nf_log_set is used for enabling
   pernet support from nf_loggers.

   Per netns is not yet complete after this patch, it comes in
   separate follow up patches.

2) Add net as a parameter of nf_log_bind_pf. Per netns is not
   yet complete after this patch, it only allows to bind the
   nf_logger to the protocol family from init_net and it skips
   other cases.

3) Adapt all nf_log_packet callers to pass netns as parameter.
   After this patch, this function only works for init_net.

4) Make the sysctl net/netfilter/nf_log pernet.
