This patch fixes a silent out-of-bound read possibility that was present
because of the misuse of this function.

Mostly it was called with a struct udphdr *hp which had only the udphdr
part linearized by the skb_header_pointer, however
nf_tproxy_get_sock_v{4,6} uses it as a tcphdr pointer, so some reads for
tcp specific attributes may be invalid.

nft_compat relies on xt_request_find_match to increment
refcount of the module that provides the match/target.

The (builtin) icmp matches did't set the module owner so it
was possible to rmmod ip(6)tables while icmp extensions were still in use.

Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for your net tree:

1) Reject non-null terminated helper names from xt_CT, from Gao Feng.

2) Fix KASAN splat due to out-of-bound access from commit phase, from
   Alexey Kodanev.

3) Missing conntrack hook registration on IPVS FTP helper, from Julian
   Anastasov.

4) Incorrect skbuff allocation size in bridge nft_reject, from Taehee Yoo.

5) Fix inverted check on packet xmit to non-local addresses, also from
   Julian.

6) Fix ebtables alignment compat problems, from Alin Nastac.

7) Hook mask checks are not correct in xt_set, from Serhey Popovych.

8) Fix timeout listing of element in ipsets, from Jozsef.

9) Cap maximum timeout value in ipset, also from Jozsef.

10) Don't allow family option for hash:mac sets, from Florent Fourcot.

11) Restrict ebtables to work with NFPROTO_BRIDGE targets only, this
    Florian.

12) Another bug reported by KASAN in the rbtree set backend, from
    Taehee Yoo.

13) Missing __IPS_MAX_BIT update doesn't include IPS_OFFLOAD_BIT.
    From Gao Feng.

14) Missing initialization of match/target in ebtables, from Florian
    Westphal.

15) Remove useless nft_dup.h file in include path, from C. Labbe.

The uninitialised access is
   xt_mtchk_param-&gt;nft_compat

... which should be set to 0.
Fix it by zeroing the struct beforehand, same for tgchk.

ip(6)tables targetinfo uses c99-style initialiser, so no change
needed there.

The extracted functions will likely be usefull to implement tproxy
support in nf_tables.

Extrancted functions:
	- nf_tproxy_sk_is_transparent
	- nf_tproxy_laddr4
	- nf_tproxy_handle_time_wait4
	- nf_tproxy_get_sock_v4
	- nf_tproxy_laddr6
	- nf_tproxy_handle_time_wait6
	- nf_tproxy_get_sock_v6

(nf_)tproxy_handle_time_wait6 also needed some refactor as its current
implementation was xtables-specific.

====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree, they are:

1) Remove obsolete nf_log tracing from nf_tables, from Florian Westphal.

2) Add support for map lookups to numgen, random and hash expressions,
   from Laura Garcia.

3) Allow to register nat hooks for iptables and nftables at the same
   time. Patchset from Florian Westpha.

4) Timeout support for rbtree sets.

5) ip6_rpfilter works needs interface for link-local addresses, from
   Vincent Bernat.

6) Add nf_ct_hook and nf_nat_hook structures and use them.

7) Do not drop packets on packets raceing to insert conntrack entries
   into hashes, this is particularly a problem in nfqueue setups.

8) Address fallout from xt_osf separation to nf_osf, patches
   from Florian Westphal and Fernando Mancera.

9) Remove reference to struct nft_af_info, which doesn't exist anymore.
   From Taehee Yoo.

This batch comes with is a conflict between 25fd386e0bc0 ("netfilter:
core: add missing __rcu annotation") in your tree and 2c205dd3981f
("netfilter: add struct nf_nat_hook and use it") coming in this batch.
This conflict can be solved by leaving the __rcu tag on
__netfilter_net_init() - added by 25fd386e0bc0 - and remove all code
related to nf_nat_decode_session_hook - which is gone after
2c205dd3981f, as described by:

I can also merge your net-next tree into nf-next, solve the conflict and
resend the pull request if you prefer so.

<title>netfilter: nf_nat: add nat type hooks to nat core</title>

<id>9971a514ed2697e542f3984a6162eac54bb1da98</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the packet rewrite and instantiation of nat NULL bindings
happens from the protocol specific nat backend.

Invocation occurs either via ip(6)table_nat or the nf_tables nat chain type.

Invocation looks like this (simplified):
NF_HOOK()
   |
   `---iptable_nat
	 |
	 `---&gt; nf_nat_l3proto_ipv4 -&gt; nf_nat_packet
	               |
          new packet? pass skb though iptables nat chain
                       |
		       `---&gt; iptable_nat: ipt_do_table

In nft case, this looks the same (nft_chain_nat_ipv4 instead of
iptable_nat).

This is a problem for two reasons:
1. Can't use iptables nat and nf_tables nat at the same time,
   as the first user adds a nat binding (nf_nat_l3proto_ipv4 adds a
   NULL binding if do_table() did not find a matching nat rule so we
   can detect post-nat tuple collisions).
2. If you use e.g. nft_masq, snat, redir, etc. uses must also register
   an empty base chain so that the nat core gets called fro NF_HOOK()
   to do the reverse translation, which is neither obvious nor user
   friendly.

After this change, the base hook gets registered not from iptable_nat or
nftables nat hooks, but from the l3 nat core.

iptables/nft nat base hooks get registered with the nat core instead:

NF_HOOK()
   |
   `---&gt; nf_nat_l3proto_ipv4 -&gt; nf_nat_packet
		|
         new packet? pass skb through iptables/nftables nat chains
                |
		+-&gt; iptables_nat: ipt_do_table
	        +-&gt; nft nat chain x
	        `-&gt; nft nat chain y

The nat core deals with null bindings and reverse translation.
When no mapping exists, it calls the registered nat lookup hooks until
one creates a new mapping.
If both iptables and nftables nat hooks exist, the first matching
one is used (i.e., higher priority wins).

Also, nft users do not need to create empty nat hooks anymore,
nat core always registers the base hooks that take care of reverse/reply
translation.

Currently the packet rewrite and instantiation of nat NULL bindings
happens from the protocol specific nat backend.

Invocation occurs either via ip(6)table_nat or the nf_tables nat chain type.

Invocation looks like this (simplified):
NF_HOOK()
   |
   `---iptable_nat
	 |
	 `---&gt; nf_nat_l3proto_ipv4 -&gt; nf_nat_packet
	               |
          new packet? pass skb though iptables nat chain
                       |
		       `---&gt; iptable_nat: ipt_do_table

In nft case, this looks the same (nft_chain_nat_ipv4 instead of
iptable_nat).

This is a problem for two reasons:
1. Can't use iptables nat and nf_tables nat at the same time,
   as the first user adds a nat binding (nf_nat_l3proto_ipv4 adds a
   NULL binding if do_table() did not find a matching nat rule so we
   can detect post-nat tuple collisions).
2. If you use e.g. nft_masq, snat, redir, etc. uses must also register
   an empty base chain so that the nat core gets called fro NF_HOOK()
   to do the reverse translation, which is neither obvious nor user
   friendly.

After this change, the base hook gets registered not from iptable_nat or
nftables nat hooks, but from the l3 nat core.

iptables/nft nat base hooks get registered with the nat core instead:

NF_HOOK()
   |
   `---&gt; nf_nat_l3proto_ipv4 -&gt; nf_nat_packet
		|
         new packet? pass skb through iptables/nftables nat chains
                |
		+-&gt; iptables_nat: ipt_do_table
	        +-&gt; nft nat chain x
	        `-&gt; nft nat chain y

The nat core deals with null bindings and reverse translation.
When no mapping exists, it calls the registered nat lookup hooks until
one creates a new mapping.
If both iptables and nftables nat hooks exist, the first matching
one is used (i.e., higher priority wins).

Will be used in followup patch when nat types no longer
use nf_register_net_hook() but will instead register with the nat core.

The ip(6)tables nat table is currently receiving skbs from the netfilter
core, after a followup patch skbs will be coming from the netfilter nat
core instead, so the table is no longer backed by normal hook_ops.
