Toggle deleted anonymous sets as inactive in the next generation, so
users cannot perform any update on it. Clear the generation bitmask
in case the transaction is aborted.

The following KASAN splat shows a set element deletion for a bound
anonymous set that has been already removed in the same transaction.

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

1) Reduce jumpstack footprint: Stash chain in last rule marker in blob for
   tracing. Remove last rule and chain from jumpstack. From Florian Westphal.

2) nf_tables validates all tables before committing the new rules.
   Unfortunately, this has two drawbacks:

   - Since addition of the transaction mutex pernet state gets written to
     outside of the locked section from the cleanup callback, this is
     wrong so do this cleanup directly after table has passed all checks.

   - Revalidate tables that saw no changes. This can be avoided by
     keeping the validation state per table, not per netns.

   From Florian Westphal.

3) Get rid of a few redundant pointers in the traceinfo structure.
   The three removed pointers are used in the expression evaluation loop,
   so gcc keeps them in registers. Passing them to the (inlined) helpers
   thus doesn't increase nft_do_chain text size, while stack is reduced
   by another 24 bytes on 64bit arches. From Florian Westphal.

4) IPVS cleanups in several ways without implementing any functional
   changes, aside from removing some debugging output:

   - Update width of source for ip_vs_sync_conn_options
     The operation is safe, use an annotation to describe it properly.

   - Consistently use array_size() in ip_vs_conn_init()
     It seems better to use helpers consistently.

   - Remove {Enter,Leave}Function. These seem to be well past their
     use-by date.

   - Correct spelling in comments.

   From Simon Horman.

5) Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
   netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
   basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device.

pull-request: bpf-next 2023-04-21

We've added 71 non-merge commits during the last 8 day(s) which contain
a total of 116 files changed, 13397 insertions(+), 8896 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
   BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward,
   from Florian Westphal.

2) Fix race between btf_put and btf_idr walk which caused a deadlock,
   from Alexei Starovoitov.

3) Second big batch to migrate test_verifier unit tests into test_progs
   for ease of readability and debugging, from Eduard Zingerman.

4) Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
   shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
   rbtree, from Dave Marchevsky.

5) Migrate bpf_for(), bpf_for_each() and bpf_repeat() macros from BPF
  selftests into libbpf-provided bpf_helpers.h header and improve
  kfunc handling, from Andrii Nakryiko.

6) Support 64-bit pointers to kfuncs needed for archs like s390x,
   from Ilya Leoshkevich.

7) Support BPF progs under getsockopt with a NULL optval,
   from Stanislav Fomichev.

8) Improve verifier u32 scalar equality checking in order to enable
   LLVM transformations which earlier had to be disabled specifically
   for BPF backend, from Yonghong Song.

9) Extend bpftool's struct_ops object loading to support links,
   from Kui-Feng Lee.

10) Add xsk selftest follow-up fixes for hugepage allocated umem,
    from Magnus Karlsson.

11) Support BPF redirects from tc BPF to ifb devices,
    from Daniel Borkmann.

12) Add BPF support for integer type when accessing variable length
    arrays, from Feng Zhou.

pass it as argument instead.  This reduces size of traceinfo to
16 bytes.  Total stack usage:

 nf_tables_core.c:252 nft_do_chain    304     static

While its possible to also pass basechain as argument, doing so
increases nft_do_chaininfo function size.

Unlike pktinfo/verdict/rule the basechain info isn't used in
the expression evaluation path. gcc places it on the stack, which
results in extra push/pop when it gets passed to the trace helpers
as argument rather than as part of the traceinfo structure.

Just pass it as argument to nft_trace_notify. Stack is reduced by 8 bytes:

We only need to validate tables that saw changes in the current
transaction.

The existing code revalidates all tables, but this isn't needed as
cross-table jumps are not allowed (chains have table scope).

Now that the rule trailer/end marker and the rcu head reside in the
same structure, we no longer need to save/restore the chain pointer
when performing/returning from a jump.

We can simply let the trace infra walk the evaluated rule until it
hits the end marker and then fetch the chain pointer from there.

When the rule is NULL (policy tracing), then chain and basechain
pointers were already identical, so just use the basechain.

This cuts size of jumpstack in half, from 256 to 128 bytes in 64bit,
scripts/stackusage says:
