Dominique Martinet reported a TCP hang problem when simultaneous open was used.
The problem is that the tcp_conntracks state table is not smart enough
to handle the case. The state table could be fixed by introducing a new state,
but that would require more lines of code compared to this patch, due to the
required backward compatibility with ctnetlink.

This patch exposes synproxy information per-conntrack. Moreover, send
sequence adjustment events once server sends us the SYN,ACK packet, so
we can synchronize the sequence adjustment too for packets going as
reply from the server, as part of the synproxy logic.

This patch introduces a new feature that allows bitshifting (left
and right) operations to co-operate with existing iptables options.

All existing keys, except the NFT_CT_SRC and NFT_CT_DST are assumed to
have strict datatypes. This is causing problems with sets and
concatenations given the specific length of these keys is not known.

Add new instruction for the nf_tables VM that allows us to specify what
flows are offloaded into a given flow table via name. This new
instruction creates the flow entry and adds it to the flow table.

Only established flows, ie. we have seen traffic in both directions, are
added to the flow table. You can still decide to offload entries at a
later stage via packet counting or checking the ct status in case you
want to offload assured conntracks.

This new extension depends on the conntrack subsystem.

This patch introduces a netlink control plane to create, delete and dump
flow tables. Flow tables are identified by name, this name is used from
rules to refer to an specific flow table. Flow tables use the rhashtable
class and a generic garbage collector to remove expired entries.

This also adds the infrastructure to add different flow table types, so
we can add one for each layer 3 protocol family.

This new bit tells us that the conntrack entry is owned by the flow
table offload infrastructure.

 # cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack
 ipv4     2 tcp      6 src=10.141.10.2 dst=147.75.205.195 sport=36392 dport=443 src=147.75.205.195 dst=192.168.2.195 sport=443 dport=36392 [OFFLOAD] mark=0 zone=0 use=2

Note the [OFFLOAD] tag in the listing.

The timer of such conntrack entries look like stopped from userspace.
In practise, to make sure the conntrack entry does not go away, the
conntrack timer is periodically set to an arbitrary large value that
gets refreshed on every iteration from the garbage collector, so it
never expires- and they display no internal state in the case of TCP
flows. This allows us to save a bitcheck from the packet path via
nf_ct_is_expired().

Conntrack entries that have been offloaded to the flow table
infrastructure cannot be deleted/flushed via ctnetlink. The flow table
infrastructure is also responsible for releasing this conntrack entry.
