The fib expression stores to a register, so we can't add empty stub.
Check that the register that is being written is in fact redundant.

In most cases, this is expected to cancel tracking as re-use is
unlikely.

Skip register tracking for expressions that perform read-only operations
on the registers. Define and use a cookie pointer NFT_REDUCE_READONLY to
avoid defining stubs for these expressions.

This patch re-enables register tracking which was disabled in ed5f85d42290
("netfilter: nf_tables: disable register tracking"). Follow up patches
add remaining register tracking for existing expressions.

<title>net: ipv6: Handle delivery_time in ipv6 defrag</title>

<id>335c8cf3b537601e1a42a19996471f1c2572cdec</id>
<content type='text'>
A latter patch will postpone the delivery_time clearing until the stack
knows the skb is being delivered locally (i.e. calling
skb_clear_delivery_time() at ip_local_deliver_finish() for IPv4
and at ip6_input_finish() for IPv6).  That will allow other kernel
forwarding path (e.g. ip[6]_forward) to keep the delivery_time also.

A very similar IPv6 defrag codes have been duplicated in
multiple places: regular IPv6, nf_conntrack, and 6lowpan.

Unlike the IPv4 defrag which is done before ip_local_deliver_finish(),
the regular IPv6 defrag is done after ip6_input_finish().
Thus, no change should be needed in the regular IPv6 defrag
logic because skb_clear_delivery_time() should have been called.

6lowpan also does not need special handling on delivery_time
because it is a non-inet packet_type.

However, cf_conntrack has a case in NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING that needs
to do the IPv6 defrag earlier.  Thus, it needs to save the
mono_delivery_time bit in the inet_frag_queue which is similar
to how it is handled in the previous patch for the IPv4 defrag.

This patch chooses to do it consistently and stores the mono_delivery_time
in the inet_frag_queue for all cases such that it will be easier
for the future refactoring effort on the IPv6 reasm code.

NF_FLOW_TABLE_IPV4 and NF_FLOW_TABLE_IPV6 are invisble, selected by
nothing (so they can no longer be enabled), and their last real users
have been removed (nf_flow_table_ipv6.c is empty).

Just place the structs and registration in the inet module.
nf_flow_table_ipv6, nf_flow_table_ipv4 and nf_flow_table_inet share

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS for net-next:

1) Add new run_estimation toggle to IPVS to stop the estimation_timer
   logic, from Dust Li.

2) Relax superfluous dynset check on NFT_SET_TIMEOUT.

3) Add egress hook, from Lukas Wunner.

4) Nowadays, almost all hook functions in x_table land just call the hook
   evaluation loop. Remove remaining hook wrappers from iptables and IPVS.
   From Florian Westphal.

In rt_mt6(), when it's a nonlinear skb, the 1st skb_header_pointer()
only copies sizeof(struct ipv6_rt_hdr) to _route that rh points to.
The access by ((const struct rt0_hdr *)rh)-&gt;reserved will overflow
the buffer. So this access should be moved below the 2nd call to
skb_header_pointer().

Besides, after the 2nd skb_header_pointer(), its return value should
also be checked, othersize, *rp may cause null-pointer-ref.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - clean up some old debugging log.

and a partial revert of
8b0adbe3e3 ("netfilter: nf_defrag_ipv6: use net_generic infra").

If conntrack is builtin and kernel is booted with:
nf_conntrack.enable_hooks=1

.... kernel will fail to boot due to a NULL deref in
nf_defrag_ipv4_enable(): Its called before the ipv4 defrag initcall is
made, so net_generic() returns NULL.

To resolve this, move the user refcount back to struct net so calls
to those functions are possible even before their initcalls have run.
