[ Upstream commit 3cf2f450fff304be9cf4868bf0df17f253bc5b1c ]

Simplify the check in physdev_mt_check() to emit an error message
only when passed an invalid chain (ie, NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT).
This avoids cluttering up the log with errors against valid rules.

For large/heavily modified rulesets, current behavior can quickly
overwhelm the ring buffer, because this function gets called on
every change, regardless of the rule that was changed.

[ Upstream commit 8e2f311a68494a6677c1724bdcb10bada21af37c ]

Following command:
  iptables -D FORWARD -m physdev ...
causes connectivity loss in some setups.

Reason is that iptables userspace will probe kernel for the module revision
of the physdev patch, and physdev has an artificial dependency on
br_netfilter (xt_physdev use makes no sense unless a br_netfilter module
is loaded).

This causes the "phydev" module to be loaded, which in turn enables the
"call-iptables" infrastructure.

bridged packets might then get dropped by the iptables ruleset.

The better fix would be to change the "call-iptables" defaults to 0 and
enforce explicit setting to 1, but that breaks backwards compatibility.

This does the next best thing: add a request_module call to checkentry.
This was a stray '-D ... -m physdev' won't activate br_netfilter
anymore.

physdev_mt() will check skb-&gt;nf_bridge first, which was alloced in
br_nf_pre_routing. So if we want to use --physdev-out and physdev-is-out,
we need to match it in FORWARD or POSTROUTING chain. physdev_mt_check()
only checked physdev-out and missed physdev-is-out. Fix it and update the
debug message to make it clearer.

Its not needed anymore since 2bf540b73ed5b
([NETFILTER]: bridge-netfilter: remove deferred hooks).
Before this it was possible to have physoutdev set for locally generated
packets -- this isn't the case anymore:

BRNF_STATE_BRIDGED flag is set when we assign nf_bridge-&gt;physoutdev,
so physoutdev != NULL means BRNF_STATE_BRIDGED is set.
If physoutdev is NULL, then we are looking at locally-delivered and
routed packet.

<title>netfilter: explicit module dependency between br_netfilter and physdev</title>

You can use physdev to match the physical interface enslaved to the
bridge device. This information is stored in skb-&gt;nf_bridge and it is
set up by br_netfilter. So, this is only available when iptables is
used from the bridge netfilter path.

Since 34666d4 ("netfilter: bridge: move br_netfilter out of the core"),
the br_netfilter code is modular. To reduce the impact of this change,
we can autoload the br_netfilter if the physdev match is used since
we assume that the users need br_netfilter in place.

In future, layer-3 matches will be an xt module of their own, and
need to set the fragoff and thoff fields. Adding more pointers would
needlessy increase memory requirements (esp. so for 64-bit, where
pointers are wider).
