<title>openvswitch: Properly set L4 keys on "later" IP fragments</title>

<content type='text'>
When IP fragments are reassembled before being sent to conntrack, the
key from the last fragment is used.  Unless there are reordering
issues, the last fragment received will not contain the L4 ports, so the
key for the reassembled datagram won't contain them.  This patch updates
the key once we have a reassembled datagram.

The handle_fragments() function works on L3 headers so we pull the L3/L4
flow key update code from key_extract into a new function
'key_extract_l3l4'.  Then we add a another new function
ovs_flow_key_update_l3l4() and export it so that it is accessible by
handle_fragments() for conntrack packet reassembly.

<title>openvswitch: Fix conntrack cache with timeout</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch addresses a conntrack cache issue with timeout policy.
Currently, we do not check if the timeout extension is set properly in the
cached conntrack entry.  Thus, after packet recirculate from conntrack
action, the timeout policy is not applied properly.  This patch fixes the
aforementioned issue.

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

The following batch contains Netfilter updates for net-next, they are:

1) Move nft_expr_clone() to nft_dynset, from Paul Gortmaker.

2) Do not include module.h from net/netfilter/nf_tables.h,
   also from Paul.

3) Restrict conntrack sysctl entries to boolean, from Tonghao Zhang.

4) Several patches to add infrastructure to autoload NAT helper
   modules from their respective conntrack helper, this also includes
   the first client of this code in OVS, patches from Flavio Leitner.

5) Add support to match for conntrack ID, from Brett Mastbergen.

6) Spelling fix in connlabel, from Colin Ian King.

7) Use struct_size() from hashlimit, from Gustavo A. R. Silva.

8) Add optimized version of nf_inet_addr_mask(), from Li RongQing.

This improves the original commit 17c357efe5ec ("openvswitch: load
NAT helper") where it unconditionally tries to load the module for
every flow using NAT, so not efficient when loading multiple flows.
It also doesn't hold any references to the NAT module while the
flow is active.

This change fixes those problems. It will try to load the module
only if it's not present. It grabs a reference to the NAT module
and holds it while the flow is active. Finally, an error message
shows up if either actions above fails.

<content type='text'>
Add options to strictly validate messages and dump messages,
sometimes perhaps validating dump messages non-strictly may
be required, so add an option for that as well.

Since none of this can really be applied to existing commands,
set the options everwhere using the following spatch:

    @@
    identifier ops;
    expression X;
    @@
    struct genl_ops ops[] = {
    ...,
     {
            .cmd = X,
    +       .validate = GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_STRICT | GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_DUMP,
            ...
     },
    ...
    };

For new commands one should just not copy the .validate 'opt-out'
flags and thus get strict validation.

<title>netlink: make nla_nest_start() add NLA_F_NESTED flag</title>

<id>ae0be8de9a53cda3505865c11826d8ff0640237c</id>
<content type='text'>
Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most
netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not
setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers
not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's
mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display
the structure of their contents.

Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be
userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than
through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames
nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start()
as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually
are rewritten to use nla_nest_start().

Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using
this semantic patch:

@@ expression E1, E2; @@
-nla_nest_start(E1, E2)
+nla_nest_start_noflag(E1, E2)
