After improving setsockopt() coverage in trinity, I started triggering
vmalloc failures pretty reliably from this code path:

warn_alloc_failed+0xe9/0x140
__vmalloc_node_range+0x1be/0x270
vzalloc+0x4b/0x50
__do_replace+0x52/0x260 [ip_tables]
do_ipt_set_ctl+0x15d/0x1d0 [ip_tables]
nf_setsockopt+0x65/0x90
ip_setsockopt+0x61/0xa0
raw_setsockopt+0x16/0x60
sock_common_setsockopt+0x14/0x20
SyS_setsockopt+0x71/0xd0

It turns out we don't validate that the num_counters field in the
struct we pass in from userspace is initialized.

The same problem also exists in ebtables, arptables, ipv6, and the
compat variants.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: switch registers to 32 bit addressing</title>

Switch the nf_tables registers from 128 bit addressing to 32 bit
addressing to support so called concatenations, where multiple values
can be concatenated over multiple registers for O(1) exact matches of
multiple dimensions using sets.

The old register values are mapped to areas of 128 bits for compatibility.
When dumping register numbers, values are expressed using the old values
if they refer to the beginning of a 128 bit area for compatibility.

To support concatenations, register loads of less than a full 32 bit
value need to be padded. This mainly affects the payload and exthdr
expressions, which both unconditionally zero the last word before
copying the data.

Userspace fully passes the testsuite using both old and new register
addressing.

Replace the array of registers passed to expressions by a struct nft_regs,
containing the verdict as a seperate member, which aliases to the
NFT_REG_VERDICT register.

This is needed to seperate the verdict from the data registers completely,
so their size can be changed.

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

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree.
They are:

* nf_tables set timeout infrastructure from Patrick Mchardy.

1) Add support for set timeout support.

2) Add support for set element timeouts using the new set extension
   infrastructure.

4) Add garbage collection helper functions to get rid of stale elements.
   Elements are accumulated in a batch that are asynchronously released
   via RCU when the batch is full.

5) Add garbage collection synchronization helpers. This introduces a new
   element busy bit to address concurrent access from the netlink API and the
   garbage collector.

5) Add timeout support for the nft_hash set implementation. The garbage
   collector peridically checks for stale elements from the workqueue.

* iptables/nftables cgroup fixes:

6) Ignore non full-socket objects from the input path, otherwise cgroup
   match may crash, from Daniel Borkmann.

7) Fix cgroup in nf_tables.

8) Save some cycles from xt_socket by skipping packet header parsing when
   skb-&gt;sk is already set because of early demux. Also from Daniel.

* br_netfilter updates from Florian Westphal.

9) Save frag_max_size and restore it from the forward path too.

10) Use a per-cpu area to restore the original source MAC address when traffic
    is DNAT'ed.

11) Add helper functions to access physical devices.

12) Use these new physdev helper function from xt_physdev.

13) Add another nf_bridge_info_get() helper function to fetch the br_netfilter
    state information.

14) Annotate original layer 2 protocol number in nf_bridge info, instead of
    using kludgy flags.

15) Also annotate the pkttype mangling when the packet travels back and forth
    from the IP to the bridge layer, instead of using a flag.

* More nf_tables set enhancement from Patrick:

16) Fix possible usage of set variant that doesn't support timeouts.

17) Avoid spurious "set is full" errors from Netlink API when there are pending
    stale elements scheduled to be released.

18) Restrict loop checks to set maps.

19) Add support for dynamic set updates from the packet path.

20) Add support to store optional user data (eg. comments) per set element.

BTW, I have also pulled net-next into nf-next to anticipate the conflict
resolution between your okfn() signature changes and Florian's br_netfilter
updates.

More recent GCC warns about two kinds of switch statement uses:

1) Switching on an enumeration, but not having an explicit case
   statement for all members of the enumeration.  To show the
   compiler this is intentional, we simply add a default case
   with nothing more than a break statement.

2) Switching on a boolean value.  I think this warning is dumb
   but nevertheless you get it wholesale with -Wswitch.

This patch cures all such warnings in netfilter.

right now we store this in the nf_bridge_info struct, accessible
via skb-&gt;nf_bridge.  This patch prepares removal of this pointer from skb:

Instead of using skb-&gt;nf_bridge-&gt;x, we use helpers to obtain the in/out
device (or ifindexes).

Followup patches to netfilter will then allow nf_bridge_info to be
obtained by a call into the br_netfilter core, rather than keeping a
pointer to it in sk_buff.

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts.  First, and usually skb-&gt;sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.

And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.

We do not want to disassociate skb-&gt;sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.

The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device.  We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.
