====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree. This batch contains connection tracking updates for the cleanup
iteration path, patches from Florian Westphal:

X) Skip unconfirmed conntracks in nf_ct_iterate_cleanup_net(), just set
   dying bit to let the CPU release them.

X) Add nf_ct_iterate_destroy() to be used on module removal, to kill
   conntrack from all namespace.

X) Restart iteration on hashtable resizing, since both may occur at
   the same time.

X) Use the new nf_ct_iterate_destroy() to remove conntrack with NAT
   mapping on module removal.

X) Use nf_ct_iterate_destroy() to remove conntrack entries helper
   module removal, from Liping Zhang.

X) Use nf_ct_iterate_cleanup_net() to remove the timeout extension
   if user requests this, also from Liping.

X) Add net_ns_barrier() and use it from FTP helper, so make sure
   no concurrent namespace removal happens at the same time while
   the helper module is being removed.

X) Use NFPROTO_MAX in layer 3 conntrack protocol array, to reduce
   module size. Same thing in nf_tables.

Updates for the nf_tables infrastructure:

X) Prepare usage of the extended ACK reporting infrastructure for
   nf_tables.

X) Remove unnecessary forward declaration in nf_tables hash set.

X) Skip set size estimation if number of element is not specified.

X) Changes to accomodate a (faster) unresizable hash set implementation,
   for anonymous sets and dynamic size fixed sets with no timeouts.

X) Faster lookup function for unresizable hash table for 2 and 4
   bytes key.

And, finally, a bunch of asorted small updates and cleanups:

X) Do not hold reference to netdev from ipt_CLUSTER, instead subscribe
   to device events and look up for index from the packet path, this
   is fixing an issue that is present since the very beginning, patch
   from Xin Long.

X) Use nf_register_net_hook() in ipt_CLUSTER, from Florian Westphal.

X) Use ebt_invalid_target() whenever possible in the ebtables tree,
   from Gao Feng.

X) Calm down compilation warning in nf_dup infrastructure, patch from
   stephen hemminger.

X) Statify functions in nftables rt expression, also from stephen.

X) Update Makefile to use canonical method to specify nf_tables-objs.
   From Jike Song.

X) Use nf_conntrack_helpers_register() in amanda and H323.

X) Space cleanup for ctnetlink, from linzhang.

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.

Make these functions (skb_put, __skb_put and pskb_put) return void *
and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only
where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the
following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put };
    @@
    - *(fn(SKB, LEN))
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression E, SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put };
    type T;
    @@
    - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))
    + E = fn(SKB, LEN)

which actually doesn't cover pskb_put since there are only three
users overall.

A handful of stragglers were converted manually, notably a macro in
drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_bsdcomp.c and, oddly enough, one of the many
instances in net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c. In the former file, I also
had to fix one whitespace problem spatch introduced.

There are several places where we needlesly call nf_ct_iterate_cleanup,
we should instead iterate the full table at module unload time.

This is a leftover from back when the conntrack table got duplicated
per net namespace.

So rename nf_ct_iterate_cleanup to nf_ct_iterate_cleanup_net.
A later patch will then add a non-net variant.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS/OVS fixes for net

The following patchset contains a rather large batch of Netfilter, IPVS
and OVS fixes for your net tree. This includes fixes for ctnetlink, the
userspace conntrack helper infrastructure, conntrack OVS support,
ebtables DNAT target, several leaks in error path among other. More
specifically, they are:

1) Fix reference count leak in the CT target error path, from Gao Feng.

2) Remove conntrack entry clashing with a matching expectation, patch
   from Jarno Rajahalme.

3) Fix bogus EEXIST when registering two different userspace helpers,
   from Liping Zhang.

4) Don't leak dummy elements in the new bitmap set type in nf_tables,
   from Liping Zhang.

5) Get rid of module autoload from conntrack update path in ctnetlink,
   we don't need autoload at this late stage and it is happening with
   rcu read lock held which is not good. From Liping Zhang.

6) Fix deadlock due to double-acquire of the expect_lock from conntrack
   update path, this fixes a bug that was introduced when the central
   spinlock got removed. Again from Liping Zhang.

7) Safe ct-&gt;status update from ctnetlink path, from Liping. The expect_lock
   protection that was selected when the central spinlock was removed was
   not really protecting anything at all.

8) Protect sequence adjustment under ct-&gt;lock.

9) Missing socket match with IPv6, from Peter Tirsek.

10) Adjust skb-&gt;pkt_type of DNAT'ed frames from ebtables, from
    Linus Luessing.

11) Don't give up on evaluating the expression on new entries added via
    dynset expression in nf_tables, from Liping Zhang.

12) Use skb_checksum() when mangling icmpv6 in IPv6 NAT as this deals
    with non-linear skbuffs.

13) Don't allow IPv6 service in IPVS if no IPv6 support is available,
    from Paolo Abeni.

14) Missing mutex release in error path of xt_find_table_lock(), from
    Dan Carpenter.

15) Update maintainers files, Netfilter section. Add Florian to the
    file, refer to nftables.org and change project status from Supported
    to Maintained.

16) Bail out on mismatching extensions in element updates in nf_tables.

<title>netfilter: SYNPROXY: Return NF_STOLEN instead of NF_DROP during handshaking</title>

<id>495dcb56d09ddb63afe30e799af41876c3f061cc</id>
<content type='text'>
Current SYNPROXY codes return NF_DROP during normal TCP handshaking,
it is not friendly to caller. Because the nf_hook_slow would treat
the NF_DROP as an error, and return -EPERM.
As a result, it may cause the top caller think it meets one error.

For example, the following codes are from cfv_rx_poll()
	err = netif_receive_skb(skb);
	if (unlikely(err)) {
		++cfv-&gt;ndev-&gt;stats.rx_dropped;
	} else {
		++cfv-&gt;ndev-&gt;stats.rx_packets;
		cfv-&gt;ndev-&gt;stats.rx_bytes += skb_len;
	}
When SYNPROXY returns NF_DROP, then netif_receive_skb returns -EPERM.
As a result, the cfv driver would treat it as an error, and increase
the rx_dropped counter.

So use NF_STOLEN instead of NF_DROP now because there is no error
happened indeed, and free the skb directly.

Defer registration of the synproxy hooks until the first SYNPROXY rule is
added.  Also means we only register hooks in namespaces that need it.

When recalculating the outer ICMPv6 checksum for a reverse path NATv6
such as ICMPV6_TIME_EXCEED nf_nat_icmpv6_reply_translation() was
accessing data beyond the headlen of the skb for non-linear skb.  This
resulted in incorrect ICMPv6 checksum as garbage data was used.

Patch replaces csum_partial() with skb_checksum() which supports
non-linear skbs similar to nf_nat_icmp_reply_translation() from ipv4.
