Apparently, &lt;linux/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.h&gt; and
&lt;linux/netfilter/nfnetlink_acct.h&gt; could not be included into the same
compilation unit because of a cut-and-paste typo in the former header.

<title>netfilter: nftables: introduce table ownership</title>

A userspace daemon like firewalld might need to monitor for netlink
updates to detect its ruleset removal by the (global) flush ruleset
command to ensure ruleset persistency. This adds extra complexity from
userspace and, for some little time, the firewall policy is not in
place.

This patch adds the NFT_TABLE_F_OWNER flag which allows a userspace
program to own the table that creates in exclusivity.

Tables that are owned...

- can only be updated and removed by the owner, non-owners hit EPERM if
  they try to update it or remove it.
- are destroyed when the owner closes the netlink socket or the process
  is gone (implicit netlink socket closure).
- are skipped by the global flush ruleset command.
- are listed in the global ruleset.

The userspace process that sets on the NFT_TABLE_F_OWNER flag need to
leave open the netlink socket.

A new NFTA_TABLE_OWNER netlink attribute specifies the netlink port ID
to identify the owner from userspace.

This patch also updates error reporting when an unknown table flag is
specified to change it from EINVAL to EOPNOTSUPP given that EINVAL is
usually reserved to report for malformed netlink messages to userspace.

The set flag NFT_SET_EXPR provides a hint to the kernel that userspace
supports for multiple expressions per set element. In the same
direction, NFT_DYNSET_F_EXPR specifies that dynset expression defines
multiple expressions per set element.

This allows new userspace software with old kernels to bail out with
EOPNOTSUPP. This update is similar to ef516e8625dd ("netfilter:
nf_tables: reintroduce the NFT_SET_CONCAT flag"). The NFT_SET_EXPR flag
needs to be set on when the NFTA_SET_EXPRESSIONS attribute is specified.
The NFT_SET_EXPR flag is not set on with NFTA_SET_EXPR to retain
backward compatibility in old userspace binaries.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - support "prefer busy polling" NAPI operation mode, where we defer
     softirq for some time expecting applications to periodically busy
     poll

   - AF_XDP: improve efficiency by more batching and hindering the
     adjacency cache prefetcher

   - af_packet: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K

   - tcp: optimize TCP zero copy receive in presence of partial or
     unaligned reads making zero copy a performance win for much smaller
     messages

   - XDP: add bulk APIs for returning / freeing frames

   - sched: support fragmenting IP packets as they come out of conntrack

   - net: allow virtual netdevs to forward UDP L4 and fraglist GSO skbs

   - BPF type format information for kernel modules and related tracing

     internals

   - a few pieces of in_interrupt() cleanup work from Sebastian Andrzej
     Siewior

   - phy: add support for shared interrupts; get rid of multiple driver
     APIs and have the drivers write a full IRQ handler, slight growth
     of driver code should be compensated by the simpler API which also
     allows shared IRQs

   - add common code for handling netdev per-cpu counters

   - move TX packet re-allocation from Ethernet switch tag drivers to a
     central place

   - improve efficiency and rename nla_strlcpy

<content type='text'>
This patch adds three new netlink attributes to encapsulate a list of
expressions per set elements:

- NFTA_SET_EXPRESSIONS: this attribute provides the set definition in
  terms of expressions. New set elements get attached the list of
  expressions that is specified by this new netlink attribute.
- NFTA_SET_ELEM_EXPRESSIONS: this attribute allows users to restore (or
  initialize) the stateful information of set elements when adding an
  element to the set.
- NFTA_DYNSET_EXPRESSIONS: this attribute specifies the list of
  expressions that the set element gets when it is inserted from the
  packet path.

The parameter defines the upper limit in any hash bucket at adding new entries
from userspace - if the limit would be exceeded, ipset doubles the hash size
and rehashes. It means the set may consume more memory but gives faster
evaluation at matching in the set.

<title>netfilter: nftables: allow re-computing sctp CRC-32C in 'payload' statements</title>

nftables payload statements are used to mangle SCTP headers, but they can
only replace the Internet Checksum. As a consequence, nftables rules that
mangle sport/dport/vtag in SCTP headers potentially generate packets that
are discarded by the receiver, unless the CRC-32C is "offloaded" (e.g the
rule mangles a skb having 'ip_summed' equal to 'CHECKSUM_PARTIAL'.

Fix this extending uAPI definitions and L4 checksum update function, in a
way that userspace programs (e.g. nft) can instruct the kernel to compute
CRC-32C in SCTP headers. Also ensure that LIBCRC32C is built if NF_TABLES
is 'y' or 'm' in the kernel build configuration.

Enables storing userdata for nft_chain. Field udata points to user data
and udlen stores its length.

Adds new attribute flag NFTA_CHAIN_USERDATA.
