When NET_SWITCHDEV=n, switchdev_port_attr_set will return -EOPNOTSUPP,
we should ignore this error code and continue to set the ageing time.

Commit fa50d974d104 ("ipv4: Namespaceify ip_default_ttl sysctl knob")
use sock_net(skb-&gt;sk) to get the net namespace, but we can't assume
that sk_buff-&gt;sk is always exist, so when it is NULL, oops will happen.

It can be useful to lower max_gso_segs on NIC with very low
number of TX descriptors like bcmgenet.

However, this is defeated by bridge since it does not propagate
the lower value of max_gso_segs and max_gso_size.

<title>bridge: fix potential use-after-free when hook returns QUEUE or STOLEN verdict</title>

Zefir Kurtisi reported kernel panic with an openwrt specific patch.
However, it turns out that mainline has a similar bug waiting to happen.

Once NF_HOOK() returns the skb is in undefined state and must not be
used.   Moreover, the okfn must consume the skb to support async
processing (NF_QUEUE).

Current okfn in this spot doesn't consume it and caller assumes that
NF_HOOK return value tells us if skb was freed or not, but thats wrong.

It "works" because no in-tree user registers a NFPROTO_BRIDGE hook at
LOCAL_IN that returns STOLEN or NF_QUEUE verdicts.

Once we add NF_QUEUE support for nftables bridge this will break --
NF_QUEUE holds the skb for async processing, caller will erronoulsy
return RX_HANDLER_PASS and on reinject netfilter will access free'd skb.

Fix this by pushing skb up the stack in the okfn instead.

NB: It also seems dubious to use LOCAL_IN while bypassing PRE_ROUTING
completely in this case but this is how its been forever so it seems
preferable to not change this.

This fixes a regression in the bridge ageing time caused by:
commit c62987bbd8a1 ("bridge: push bridge setting ageing_time down to switchdev")

There are users of Linux bridge which use the feature that if ageing time
is set to 0 it causes entries to never expire. See:
  https://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/bridge

For a pure software bridge, it is unnecessary for the code to have
arbitrary restrictions on what values are allowable.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

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

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree,
they are:

1) Remove useless debug message when deleting IPVS service, from
   Yannick Brosseau.

2) Get rid of compilation warning when CONFIG_PROC_FS is unset in
   several spots of the IPVS code, from Arnd Bergmann.

3) Add prandom_u32 support to nft_meta, from Florian Westphal.

4) Remove unused variable in xt_osf, from Sudip Mukherjee.

5) Don't calculate IP checksum twice from netfilter ipv4 defrag hook
   since fixing af_packet defragmentation issues, from Joe Stringer.

6) On-demand hook registration for iptables from netns. Instead of
   registering the hooks for every available netns whenever we need
   one of the support tables, we register this on the specific netns
   that needs it, patchset from Florian Westphal.

7) Add missing port range selection to nf_tables masquerading support.

BTW, just for the record, there is a typo in the description of
5f6c253ebe93b0 ("netfilter: bridge: register hooks only when bridge
interface is added") that refers to the cluster match as deprecated, but
it is actually the CLUSTERIP target (which registers hooks
inconditionally) the one that is scheduled for removal.

This moves bridge hooks to a register-when-needed scheme.

We use a device notifier to register the 'call-iptables' netfilter hooks
only once a bridge gets added.

This means that if the initial namespace uses a bridge, newly created
network namespaces no longer get the PRE_ROUTING ipt_sabotage hook.

It will registered in that network namespace once a bridge is created
within that namespace.

A few modules still use global hooks:

- conntrack
- bridge PF_BRIDGE hooks
- IPVS
- CLUSTER match (deprecated)
- SYNPROXY

As long as these modules are not loaded/used, a new network namespace has
empty hook list and NF_HOOK() will boil down to single list_empty test even
if initial namespace does stateless packet filtering.
