Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
Netfilter fixes for net

1) Protect nft_ct template with global mutex, from Pavel Skripkin.

2) Two recent commits switched inet rt and nexthop exception hashes
   from jhash to siphash. If those two spots are problematic then
   conntrack is affected as well, so switch voer to siphash too.
   While at it, add a hard upper limit on chain lengths and reject
   insertion if this is hit. Patches from Florian Westphal.

3) Fix use-after-scope in nf_socket_ipv6 reported by KASAN,
   from Benjamin Hesmans.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pablo/nf:
  netfilter: socket: icmp6: fix use-after-scope
  netfilter: refuse insertion if chain has grown too large
  netfilter: conntrack: switch to siphash
  netfilter: conntrack: sanitize table size default settings

Also add a stat counter for this that gets exported both via old /proc
interface and ctnetlink.

Assuming the old default size of 16536 buckets and max hash occupancy of
64k, this results in 128k insertions (origin+reply), so ~8 entries per
chain on average.

The revised settings in this series will result in about two entries per
bucket on average.

This allows a hard-limit ceiling of 64.

This is not tunable at the moment, but its possible to either increase
nf_conntrack_buckets or decrease nf_conntrack_max to reduce average
lengths.

<title>netfilter: nfnetlink_hook: missing chain family</title>

The family is relevant for pseudo-families like NFPROTO_INET
otherwise the user needs to rely on the hook function name to
differentiate it from NFPROTO_IPV4 and NFPROTO_IPV6 names.

Add nfnl_hook_chain_desc_attributes instead of using the existing
NFTA_CHAIN_* attributes, since these do not provide a family number.

<title>netfilter: ctnetlink: allow to filter dump by status bits</title>

If CTA_STATUS is present, but CTA_STATUS_MASK is not, then the
mask is automatically set to 'status', so that kernel returns those
entries that have all of the requested bits set.

This makes more sense than using a all-one mask since we'd hardly
ever find a match.

There are no other checks for status bits, so if e.g. userspace
sets impossible combinations it will get an empty dump.

If kernel would reject unknown status bits, then a program that works on
a future kernel that has IPS_FOO bit fails on old kernels.

Same for 'impossible' combinations:

Kernel never sets ASSURED without first having set SEEN_REPLY, but its
possible that a future kernel could do so.

Therefore no sanity tests other than a 0-mask.

This nfnl subsystem allows to dump the list of all active netfiler hooks,
e.g. defrag, conntrack, nf/ip/arp/ip6tables and so on.

This helps to see what kind of features are currently enabled in
the network stack.

Sample output from nft tool using this infra:

 $ nft list hook ip input
 family ip hook input {
   +0000000010 nft_do_chain_inet [nf_tables] # nft table firewalld INPUT
   +0000000100 nf_nat_ipv4_local_in [nf_nat]

Chunks are SCTP header extensions similar in implementation to IPv6
extension headers or TCP options. Reusing exthdr expression to find and
extract field values from them is therefore pretty straightforward.

For now, this supports extracting data from chunks at a fixed offset
(and length) only - chunks themselves are an extensible data structure;
in order to make all fields available, a nested extension search is
needed.
