<content type='text'>
Allow to match and mangle on inner headers / payload data after the
transport header. There is a new field in the pktinfo structure that
stores the inner header offset which is calculated only when requested.
Only TCP and UDP supported at this stage.

<title>net: sched: Merge Qdisc::bstats and Qdisc::cpu_bstats data types</title>

<id>50dc9a8572aa4d7cdc56670228fcde40289ed289</id>
<content type='text'>
The only factor differentiating per-CPU bstats data type (struct
gnet_stats_basic_cpu) from the packed non-per-CPU one (struct
gnet_stats_basic_packed) was a u64_stats sync point inside the former.
The two data types are now equivalent: earlier commits added a u64_stats
sync point to the latter.

Combine both data types into "struct gnet_stats_basic_sync". This
eliminates redundancy and simplifies the bstats read/write APIs.

Use u64_stats_t for bstats "packets" and "bytes" data types. On 64-bit
architectures, u64_stats sync points do not use sequence counter
protection.

<title>netfilter: conntrack: fix boot failure with nf_conntrack.enable_hooks=1</title>

This is a revert of
7b1957b049 ("netfilter: nf_defrag_ipv4: use net_generic infra")
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.

This patch introduces netfilter hooks for solving the problem that
conntrack couldn't record both inner flows and outer flows.

This patch also introduces a new sysctl toggle for enabling lightweight
tunnel netfilter hooks.

This prepares for merge for ct and exp notifier structs.

The 'fcn' member is renamed to something unique.
Second, the register/unregister api is simplified.  There is only
one implementation so there is no need to do any error checking.

Replace the EBUSY logic with WARN_ON_ONCE.  This allows to remove
error unwinding.

The exp notifier register/unregister function is removed in
a followup patch.

nf_conntrack_eventmask_report and nf_ct_deliver_cached_events shared
most of their code.  This unifies the layout by changing

 if (nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct)) {
   foo
 }

 to
 if (!nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct)))
   return
 foo

This removes one level of indentation.

This was done to detect when the pernet-&gt;init() function was not called
yet, by checking if net-&gt;nf.queue_handler is NULL.

Once the nfnetlink_queue module is active, all struct net pointers
contain the same address.  So place this back in nf_queue.c.

Handle the 'netns error unwind' test by checking nfnl_queue_net for a
NULL pointer and add a comment for this.
