Because the data pointer of net/ipv4/vs/debug_level is not updated per
netns, it must be marked as read-only in non-init netns.

Problem is that when netns device exit hooks create the UNREGISTER
event, the .pre_exit hook for nf_tables core has already removed the
base hook.  Notifier attempts to do this again.

The need to do base hook unregister unconditionally was needed in the past,
because notifier was last stage where reg-&gt;dev dereference was safe.

Now that nf_tables does the hook removal in .pre_exit, this isn't
needed anymore.

<title>netfilter: xt_IDLETIMER: fix panic that occurs when timer_type has garbage value</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, when the rule related to IDLETIMER is added, idletimer_tg timer
structure is initialized by kmalloc on executing idletimer_tg_create
function. However, in this process timer-&gt;timer_type is not defined to
a specific value. Thus, timer-&gt;timer_type has garbage value and it occurs
kernel panic. So, this commit fixes the panic by initializing
timer-&gt;timer_type using kzalloc instead of kmalloc.

Test commands:
    # iptables -A OUTPUT -j IDLETIMER --timeout 1 --label test
    $ cat /sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/test

Deactivate old rule first, then append the new rule, so rule replacement
notification via netlink first reports the deletion of the old rule with
handle X in first place, then it adds the new rule (reusing the handle X
of the replaced old rule).

Note that the abort path releases the transaction that has been created
by nft_delrule() on error.

Add position handle to allow to identify the rule location from netlink
events. Otherwise, userspace cannot incrementally update a userspace
cache through monitoring events.

Skip handle dump if the rule has been either inserted (at the beginning
of the ruleset) or appended (at the end of the ruleset), the
NLM_F_APPEND netlink flag is sufficient in these two cases.

Handle NLM_F_REPLACE as NLM_F_APPEND since the rule replacement
expansion appends it after the specified rule handle.

Syzbot was able to trigger the following warning [1]

No repro found by syzbot yet but I was able to trigger similar issue
by having 2 scripts running in parallel, changing conntrack hash sizes,
and:

for j in `seq 1 1000` ; do unshare -n /bin/true &gt;/dev/null ; done

It would take more than 5 minutes for net_namespace structures
to be cleaned up.

This is because nf_ct_iterate_cleanup() has to restart everytime
a resize happened.

By adding a mutex, we can serialize hash resizes and cleanups
and also make get_next_corpse() faster by skipping over empty
buckets.

Even without resizes in the picture, this patch considerably
speeds up network namespace dismantles.

<title>netfilter: log: work around missing softdep backend module</title>

iptables/nftables has two types of log modules:

1. backend, e.g. nf_log_syslog, which implement the functionality
2. frontend, e.g. xt_LOG or nft_log, which call the functionality
   provided by backend based on nf_tables or xtables rule set.

Problem is that the request_module() call to load the backed in
nf_logger_find_get() might happen with nftables transaction mutex held
in case the call path is via nf_tables/nft_compat.

This can cause deadlocks (see 'Fixes' tags for details).

The chosen solution as to let modprobe deal with this by adding 'pre: '
soft dep tag to xt_LOG (to load the syslog backend) and xt_NFLOG (to
load nflog backend).

Eric reports that this breaks on systems with older modprobe that
doesn't support softdeps.

Another, similar issue occurs when someone either insmods xt_(NF)LOG
directly or unloads the backend module (possible if no log frontend
is in use): because the frontend module is already loaded, modprobe is
not invoked again so the softdep isn't evaluated.

Add a workaround: If nf_logger_find_get() returns -ENOENT and call
is not via nft_compat, load the backend explicitly and try again.

Else, let nft_compat ask for deferred request_module via nf_tables
infra.

Softdeps are kept in-place, so with newer modprobe the dependencies
are resolved from userspace.

Fixes: a38b5b56d6f4 ("netfilter: nf_log: add module softdeps")

The ipv4 and device notifiers are called with RTNL mutex held.
The table walk can take some time, better not block other RTNL users.

'ip a' has been reported to block for up to 20 seconds when conntrack table
has many entries and device down events are frequent (e.g., PPP).
