<title>netfilter: bridge: replace physindev with physinif in nf_bridge_info</title>

An skb can be added to a neigh-&gt;arp_queue while waiting for an arp
reply. Where original skb's skb-&gt;dev can be different to neigh's
neigh-&gt;dev. For instance in case of bridging dnated skb from one veth to
another, the skb would be added to a neigh-&gt;arp_queue of the bridge.

As skb-&gt;dev can be reset back to nf_bridge-&gt;physindev and used, and as
there is no explicit mechanism that prevents this physindev from been
freed under us (for instance neigh_flush_dev doesn't cleanup skbs from
different device's neigh queue) we can crash on e.g. this stack:

arp_process
  neigh_update
    skb = __skb_dequeue(&amp;neigh-&gt;arp_queue)
      neigh_resolve_output(..., skb)
        ...
          br_nf_dev_xmit
            br_nf_pre_routing_finish_bridge_slow
              skb-&gt;dev = nf_bridge-&gt;physindev
              br_handle_frame_finish

Let's use plain ifindex instead of net_device link. To peek into the
original net_device we will use dev_get_by_index_rcu(). Thus either we
get device and are safe to use it or we don't get it and drop skb.

This is a preparation patch for replacing physindev with physinif on
nf_bridge_info structure. We will use dev_get_by_index_rcu to resolve
device, when needed, and it requires net to be available.

These checks assume that the caller only returns NF_DROP without
any errno embedded in the upper bits.

This is fine right now, but followup patches will start to propagate
such errors to allow kfree_skb_drop_reason() in the called functions,
those would then indicate 'errno &lt;&lt; 8 | NF_STOLEN'.

To not break things we have to mask those parts out.

We want to be able to enable/disable IP packet defrag from core
bpf/netfilter code. In other words, execute code from core that could
possibly be built as a module.

To help avoid symbol resolution errors, use glue hooks that the modules
will register callbacks with during module init.

icmp/icmp6 matches are baked into ip(6)_tables.ko.

This means that even if iptables-nft is used, a rule like
"-p icmp --icmp-type 1" will load the ip(6)tables modules.

Move them to xt_tcpdudp.ko instead to avoid this.

This will also allow to eventually add kconfig knobs to build kernels
that support iptables-nft but not iptables-legacy (old set/getsockopt
interface).
