totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

Patch series "mm: convert totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and managed
pages to atomic", v5.

This series converts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
zone-&gt;managed_pages to atomic variables.

totalram_pages, zone-&gt;managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are
protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it.
Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a
store tear.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 It seemes better
to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic.  With the change,
preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing comes as a bonus.

This patch (of 4):

This is in preparation to a later patch which converts totalram_pages and
zone-&gt;managed_pages to atomic variables.  Please note that re-reading the
value might lead to a different value and as such it could lead to
unexpected behavior.  There are no known bugs as a result of the current
code but it is better to prevent from them in principle.

3) Add IPSET_CMD_GET_BYNAME and IPSET_CMD_GET_BYINDEX commands,
   introduce protocol version number 7, from Jozsef Kadlecsik.
   A follow up patch to fix ip_set_byindex() is also included
   in this batch.

4) Honor CTA_MARK_MASK from ctnetlink, from Andreas Jaggi.

5) Statify nf_flow_table_iterate(), from Taehee Yoo.

6) Use nf_flow_table_iterate() to simplify garbage collection in
   nf_flow_table logic, also from Taehee Yoo.

7) Don't use _bh variants of call_rcu(), rcu_barrier() and
   synchronize_rcu_bh() in Netfilter, from Paul E. McKenney.

8) Remove NFC_* cache definition from the old caching
   infrastructure.

9) Remove layer 4 port rover in NAT helpers, use random port
   instead, from Florian Westphal.

10) Use strscpy() in ipset, from Qian Cai.

11) Remove NF_NAT_RANGE_PROTO_RANDOM_FULLY branch now that
    random port is allocated by default, from Xiaozhou Liu.

12) Ignore NF_NAT_RANGE_PROTO_RANDOM too, from Florian Westphal.

13) Limit port allocation selection routine in NAT to avoid
    softlockup splats when most ports are in use, from Florian.

14) Remove unused parameters in nf_ct_l4proto_unregister_sysctl()
    from Yafang Shao.

15) Direct call to nf_nat_l4proto_unique_tuple() instead of
    indirection, from Florian Westphal.

16) Several patches to remove all layer 4 NAT indirections,
    remove nf_nat_l4proto struct, from Florian Westphal.

17) Fix RTP/RTCP source port translation when SNAT is in place,
    from Alin Nastac.

18) Selective rule dump per chain, from Phil Sutter.

19) Revisit CLUSTERIP target, this includes a deadlock fix from
    netns path, sleep in atomic, remove bogus WARN_ON_ONCE()
    and disallow mismatching IP address and MAC address.
    Patchset from Taehee Yoo.

20) Update UDP timeout to stream after 2 seconds, from Florian.

21) Shrink UDP established timeout to 120 seconds like TCP timewait.

22) Sysctl knobs to set GRE timeouts, from Yafang Shao.

23) Move seq_print_acct() to conntrack core file, from Florian.

24) Add enum for conntrack sysctl knobs, also from Florian.

25) Place nf_conntrack_acct, nf_conntrack_helper, nf_conntrack_events
    and nf_conntrack_timestamp knobs in the core, from Florian Westphal.
    As a side effect, shrink netns_ct structure by removing obsolete
    sysctl anchors, also from Florian.

Now that call_rcu()'s callback is not invoked until after bh-disable
regions of code have completed (in addition to explicitly marked
RCU read-side critical sections), call_rcu() can be used in place
of call_rcu_bh().  Similarly, rcu_barrier() can be used in place of
rcu_barrier_bh() and synchronize_rcu() in place of synchronize_rcu_bh().
This commit therefore makes these changes.

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

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next
tree. This batch comes with more input sanitization for xtables to
address bug reports from fuzzers, preparation works to the flowtable
infrastructure and assorted updates. In no particular order, they are:

1) Make sure userspace provides a valid standard target verdict, from
   Florian Westphal.

2) Sanitize error target size, also from Florian.

3) Validate that last rule in basechain matches underflow/policy since
   userspace assumes this when decoding the ruleset blob that comes
   from the kernel, from Florian.

4) Consolidate hook entry checks through xt_check_table_hooks(),
   patch from Florian.

5) Cap ruleset allocations at 512 mbytes, 134217728 rules and reject
   very large compat offset arrays, so we have a reasonable upper limit
   and fuzzers don't exercise the oom-killer. Patches from Florian.

6) Several WARN_ON checks on xtables mutex helper, from Florian.

7) xt_rateest now has a hashtable per net, from Cong Wang.

8) Consolidate counter allocation in xt_counters_alloc(), from Florian.

9) Earlier xt_table_unlock() call in {ip,ip6,arp,eb}tables, patch
   from Xin Long.

10) Set FLOW_OFFLOAD_DIR_* to IP_CT_DIR_* definitions, patch from
    Felix Fietkau.

11) Consolidate code through flow_offload_fill_dir(), also from Felix.

12) Inline ip6_dst_mtu_forward() just like ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward()
    to remove a dependency with flowtable and ipv6.ko, from Felix.

13) Cache mtu size in flow_offload_tuple object, this is safe for
    forwarding as f87c10a8aa1e describes, from Felix.

14) Rename nf_flow_table.c to nf_flow_table_core.o, to simplify too
    modular infrastructure, from Felix.

15) Add rt0, rt2 and rt4 IPv6 routing extension support, patch from
    Ahmed Abdelsalam.

16) Remove unused parameter in nf_conncount_count(), from Yi-Hung Wei.

17) Support for counting only to nf_conncount infrastructure, patch
    from Yi-Hung Wei.

18) Add strict NFT_CT_{SRC_IP,DST_IP,SRC_IP6,DST_IP6} key datatypes
    to nft_ct.

19) Use boolean as return value from ipt_ah and from IPVS too, patch
    from Gustavo A. R. Silva.

20) Remove useless parameters in nfnl_acct_overquota() and
    nf_conntrack_broadcast_help(), from Taehee Yoo.

21) Use ipv6_addr_is_multicast() from xt_cluster, also from Taehee Yoo.

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

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next
tree. This batch comes with more input sanitization for xtables to
address bug reports from fuzzers, preparation works to the flowtable
infrastructure and assorted updates. In no particular order, they are:

1) Make sure userspace provides a valid standard target verdict, from
   Florian Westphal.

2) Sanitize error target size, also from Florian.

3) Validate that last rule in basechain matches underflow/policy since
   userspace assumes this when decoding the ruleset blob that comes
   from the kernel, from Florian.

4) Consolidate hook entry checks through xt_check_table_hooks(),
   patch from Florian.

5) Cap ruleset allocations at 512 mbytes, 134217728 rules and reject
   very large compat offset arrays, so we have a reasonable upper limit
   and fuzzers don't exercise the oom-killer. Patches from Florian.

6) Several WARN_ON checks on xtables mutex helper, from Florian.

7) xt_rateest now has a hashtable per net, from Cong Wang.

8) Consolidate counter allocation in xt_counters_alloc(), from Florian.

9) Earlier xt_table_unlock() call in {ip,ip6,arp,eb}tables, patch
   from Xin Long.

10) Set FLOW_OFFLOAD_DIR_* to IP_CT_DIR_* definitions, patch from
    Felix Fietkau.

11) Consolidate code through flow_offload_fill_dir(), also from Felix.

12) Inline ip6_dst_mtu_forward() just like ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward()
    to remove a dependency with flowtable and ipv6.ko, from Felix.

13) Cache mtu size in flow_offload_tuple object, this is safe for
    forwarding as f87c10a8aa1e describes, from Felix.

14) Rename nf_flow_table.c to nf_flow_table_core.o, to simplify too
    modular infrastructure, from Felix.

15) Add rt0, rt2 and rt4 IPv6 routing extension support, patch from
    Ahmed Abdelsalam.

16) Remove unused parameter in nf_conncount_count(), from Yi-Hung Wei.

17) Support for counting only to nf_conncount infrastructure, patch
    from Yi-Hung Wei.

18) Add strict NFT_CT_{SRC_IP,DST_IP,SRC_IP6,DST_IP6} key datatypes
    to nft_ct.

19) Use boolean as return value from ipt_ah and from IPVS too, patch
    from Gustavo A. R. Silva.

20) Remove useless parameters in nfnl_acct_overquota() and
    nf_conntrack_broadcast_help(), from Taehee Yoo.

21) Use ipv6_addr_is_multicast() from xt_cluster, also from Taehee Yoo.

22) Statify nf_tables_obj_lookup_byhandle, patch from Fengguang Wu.

23) Fix typo in xt_limit, from Geert Uytterhoeven.

24) Do no use VLAs in Netfilter code, again from Gustavo.

25) Use ADD_COUNTER from ebtables, from Taehee Yoo.

26) Bitshift support for CONNMARK and MARK targets, from Jack Ma.

Synchronous pernet_operations are not allowed anymore.
All are asynchronous. So, drop the structure member.
