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

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for you net tree:

1) Remove duplicated include at the end of UDP conntrack, from Yue Haibing.

2) Restore conntrack dependency on xt_cluster, from Martin Willi.

3) Fix splat with GSO skbs from the checksum target, from Florian Westphal.

4) Rework ct timeout support, the template strategy to attach custom timeouts
   is not correct since it will not work in conjunction with conntrack zones
   and we have a possible free after use when removing the rule due to missing
   refcounting. To fix these problems, do not use conntrack template at all
   and set custom timeout on the already valid conntrack object. This
   fix comes with a preparation patch to simplify timeout adjustment by
   initializating the first position of the timeout array for all of the
   existing trackers. Patchset from Florian Westphal.

5) Fix missing dependency on from IPv4 chain NAT type, from Florian.

6) Release chain reference counter from the flush path, from Taehee Yoo.

7) After flushing an iptables ruleset, conntrack hooks are unregistered
   and entries are left stale to be cleaned up by the timeout garbage
   collector. No TCP tracking is done on established flows by this time.
   If ruleset is reloaded, then hooks are registered again and TCP
   tracking is restored, which considers packets to be invalid. Clear
   window tracking to exercise TCP flow pickup from the middle given that
   history is lost for us. Again from Florian.

8) Fix crash from netlink interface with CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_TIMEOUT=y
   and CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK_TIMEOUT=n.

9) Broken CT target due to returning incorrect type from
   ctnl_timeout_find_get().

10) Solve conntrack clash on NF_REPEAT verdicts too, from Michal Vaner.

11) Missing conversion of hashlimit sysctl interface to new API, from
    Cong Wang.

NF_REPEAT places the packet at the beginning of the iptables chain
instead of accepting or rejecting it right away. The packet however will
reach the end of the chain and continue to the end of iptables
eventually, so it needs the same handling as NF_ACCEPT and NF_DROP.

Doug Smythies says:
  Sometimes it is desirable to temporarily disable, or clear,
  the iptables rule set on a computer being controlled via a
  secure shell session (SSH). While unwise on an internet facing
  computer, I also do it often on non-internet accessible computers
  while testing. Recently, this has become problematic, with the
  SSH session being dropped upon re-load of the rule set.

The problem is that when all rules are deleted, conntrack hooks get
unregistered.

In case the rules are re-added later, its possible that tcp window
has moved far enough so that all packets are considered invalid (out of
window) until entry expires (which can take forever, default
established timeout is 5 days).

Fix this by clearing maxwin of existing tcp connections on register.

v2: don't touch entries on hook removal.
v3: remove obsolete expiry check.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: rework ct timeout set support</title>

Using a private template is problematic:

1. We can't assign both a zone and a timeout policy
   (zone assigns a conntrack template, so we hit problem 1)
2. Using a template needs to take care of ct refcount, else we'll
   eventually free the private template due to -&gt;use underflow.

This patch reworks template policy to instead work with existing conntrack.

As long as such conntrack has not yet been placed into the hash table
(unconfirmed) we can still add the timeout extension.

The only caveat is that we now need to update/correct ct-&gt;timeout to
reflect the initial/new state, otherwise the conntrack entry retains the
default 'new' timeout.

Side effect of this change is that setting the policy must
now occur from chains that are evaluated *after* the conntrack lookup
has taken place.

No released kernel contains the timeout policy feature yet, so this change
should be ok.

Changes since v2:
 - don't handle 'ct is confirmed case'
 - after previous patch, no need to special-case tcp/dccp/sctp timeout
   anymore

tcp, sctp and dccp trackers re-use the userspace ctnetlink states
to index their timeout arrays, which means timeout[0] is never
used.  Copy the 'new' state (syn-sent, dccp-request, ..) to 0 as well
so external users can simply read it off timeouts[0] without need to
differentiate dccp/sctp/tcp and udp/icmp/gre/generic.

The alternative is to map all array accesses to 'i - 1', but that
is a much more intrusive change.

Satish Patel reports a skb_warn_bad_offload() splat caused
by -j CHECKSUM rules:

-A POSTROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --sport 80 -j CHECKSUM

The CHECKSUM target has never worked with GSO skbs, and the above rule
makes no sense as kernel will handle checksum updates on transmit.

Unfortunately, there are 3rd party tools that install such rules, so we
cannot reject this from the config plane without potential breakage.

Amend Kconfig text to clarify that the CHECKSUM target is only useful
in virtualized environments, where old dhcp clients that use AF_PACKET
used to discard UDP packets with a 'bad' header checksum and add a
one-time warning in case such rule isn't restricted to UDP.

v2: check IP6T_F_PROTO flag before cmp (Michal Kubecek)
