commit 8405a8fff3f8545c888a872d6e3c0c8eecd4d348 upstream.

Add code to nf_unregister_hook to flush the nf_queue when a hook is
unregistered.  This guarantees that the pointer that the nf_queue code
retains into the nf_hook list will remain valid while a packet is
queued.

I tested what would happen if we do not flush queued packets and was
trivially able to obtain the oops below.  All that was required was
to stop the nf_queue listening process, to delete all of the nf_tables,
and to awaken the nf_queue listening process.

<title>netfilter: move skb_gso_segment into nfnetlink_queue module</title>

<id>a5fedd43d5f6c94c71053a66e4c3d2e35f1731a2</id>
<content type='text'>
skb_gso_segment is expensive, so it would be nice if we could
avoid it in the future. However, userspace needs to be prepared
to receive larger-than-mtu-packets (which will also have incorrect
l3/l4 checksums), so we cannot simply remove it.

The plan is to add a per-queue feature flag that userspace can
set when binding the queue.

The problem is that in nf_queue, we only have a queue number,
not the queue context/configuration settings.

This patch should have no impact other than the skb_gso_segment
call now being in a function that has access to the queue config
data.

A new size attribute in nf_queue_entry is needed so
nfnetlink_queue can duplicate the entry of the gso skb
when segmenting the skb while also copying the route key.

The follow up patch adds switch to disable skb_gso_segment when
queue config says so.

Add copyright statements to all netfilter files which have had significant
changes done by myself in the past.

Some notes:

- nf_conntrack_ecache.c was incorrectly attributed to Rusty and Netfilter
  Core Team when it got split out of nf_conntrack_core.c. The copyrights
  even state a date which lies six years before it was written. It was
  written in 2005 by Harald and myself.

- net/ipv{4,6}/netfilter.c, net/netfitler/nf_queue.c were missing copyright
  statements. I've added the copyright statement from net/netfilter/core.c,
  where this code originated

- for nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c I've also added Jozsef, since I didn't want
  it to give the wrong impression

<title>netfilter: kill support for per-af queue backends</title>

We used to have several queueing backends, but nowadays only
nfnetlink_queue remains.

In light of this there doesn't seem to be a good reason to
support per-af registering -- just hook up nfnetlink_queue on module
load and remove it on unload.

This means that the userspace BIND/UNBIND_PF commands are now obsolete;
the kernel will ignore them.

When trying to nf_queue GRO/GSO skbs, nf_queue uses skb_gso_segment
to split the skb.

However, if nf_queue is called via bridge netfilter, the mac header
won't be preserved -- packets will thus contain a bogus mac header.

Fix this by setting skb-&gt;data to the mac header when skb-&gt;nf_bridge
is set and restoring skb-&gt;data afterwards for all segments.

commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to
RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a
complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x,
y).

We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL.
