Convert a zero return value on error to a negative one, as returned
elsewhere in the function.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@
identifier ret; expression e1,e2;
@@
(
if (\(ret &lt; 0\|ret != 0\))
 { ... return ret; }

ret = 0
)
... when != ret = e1
    when != &amp;ret
*if(...)
{
  ... when != ret = e2
      when forall
 return ret;
}
// &lt;/smpl&gt;

Eric Dumazet reports that getsockopt() or setsockopt() sometimes
returns -EINTR instead of -ENOPROTOOPT, causing headaches to
application developers.

This patch replaces all the mutex_lock_interruptible() by mutex_lock()
in the netfilter tree, as there is no reason we should sleep for a
long time there.

This should happen once the element has been effectively released in

Conflicts:

Two ipv6_table_template[] additions overlap, so the index
of the ipv6_table[x] assignments needed to be adjusted.

In the drivers/net/Makefile case, we've gotten rid of the
garbage whereby we had to list every single USB networking
driver in the top-level Makefile, there is just one
"USB_NETWORKING" that guards everything.

<title>net: filter: split 'struct sk_filter' into socket and bpf parts</title>

<id>7ae457c1e5b45a1b826fad9d62b32191d2bdcfdb</id>
<content type='text'>
clean up names related to socket filtering and bpf in the following way:
- everything that deals with sockets keeps 'sk_*' prefix
- everything that is pure BPF is changed to 'bpf_*' prefix

split 'struct sk_filter' into
struct sk_filter {
	atomic_t        refcnt;
	struct rcu_head rcu;
	struct bpf_prog *prog;
};
and
struct bpf_prog {
        u32                     jited:1,
                                len:31;
        struct sock_fprog_kern  *orig_prog;
        unsigned int            (*bpf_func)(const struct sk_buff *skb,
                                            const struct bpf_insn *filter);
        union {
                struct sock_filter      insns[0];
                struct bpf_insn         insnsi[0];
                struct work_struct      work;
        };
};
so that 'struct bpf_prog' can be used independent of sockets and cleans up
'unattached' bpf use cases

split SK_RUN_FILTER macro into:
    SK_RUN_FILTER to be used with 'struct sk_filter *' and
    BPF_PROG_RUN to be used with 'struct bpf_prog *'

__sk_filter_release(struct sk_filter *) gains
__bpf_prog_release(struct bpf_prog *) helper function

also perform related renames for the functions that work
with 'struct bpf_prog *', since they're on the same lines:

sk_filter_size -&gt; bpf_prog_size
sk_filter_select_runtime -&gt; bpf_prog_select_runtime
sk_filter_free -&gt; bpf_prog_free
sk_unattached_filter_create -&gt; bpf_prog_create
sk_unattached_filter_destroy -&gt; bpf_prog_destroy
sk_store_orig_filter -&gt; bpf_prog_store_orig_filter
sk_release_orig_filter -&gt; bpf_release_orig_filter
__sk_migrate_filter -&gt; bpf_migrate_filter
__sk_prepare_filter -&gt; bpf_prepare_filter

API for attaching classic BPF to a socket stays the same:
sk_attach_filter(prog, struct sock *)/sk_detach_filter(struct sock *)
and SK_RUN_FILTER(struct sk_filter *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by sockets, tun, af_packet

API for 'unattached' BPF programs becomes:
bpf_prog_create(struct bpf_prog **)/bpf_prog_destroy(struct bpf_prog *)
and BPF_PROG_RUN(struct bpf_prog *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by isdn, ppp, team, seccomp, ptp, xt_bpf, cls_bpf, test_bpf

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: Avoid duplicate call to nft_data_uninit() for same key</title>

nft_del_setelem() currently calls nft_data_uninit() twice on the same
key. Once to release the key which is guaranteed to be NFT_DATA_VALUE
and a second time in the error path to which it falls through.

The second call has been harmless so far though because the type
passed is always NFT_DATA_VALUE which is currently a no-op.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

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

The following patchset contains netfilter updates for net-next, they are:

1) Add the reject expression for the nf_tables bridge family, this
   allows us to send explicit reject (TCP RST / ICMP dest unrech) to
   the packets matching a rule.

2) Simplify and consolidate the nf_tables set dumping logic. This uses
   netlink control-&gt;data to filter out depending on the request.

3) Perform garbage collection in xt_hashlimit using a workqueue instead
   of a timer, which is problematic when many entries are in place in
   the tables, from Eric Dumazet.

4) Remove leftover code from the removed ulog target support, from
   Paul Bolle.

5) Dump unmodified flags in the netfilter packet accounting when resetting
   counters, so userspace knows that a counter was in overquota situation,
   from Alexey Perevalov.

6) Fix wrong usage of the bitwise functions in nfnetlink_acct, also from
   Alexey.

7) Fix a crash when adding new set element with an empty NFTA_SET_ELEM_LIST
   attribute.

This patchset also includes a couple of cleanups for xt_LED from
Duan Jiong and for nf_conntrack_ipv4 (using coccinelle) from
Himangi Saraogi.
