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

1) Protect nft_ct template with global mutex, from Pavel Skripkin.

2) Two recent commits switched inet rt and nexthop exception hashes
   from jhash to siphash. If those two spots are problematic then
   conntrack is affected as well, so switch voer to siphash too.
   While at it, add a hard upper limit on chain lengths and reject
   insertion if this is hit. Patches from Florian Westphal.

3) Fix use-after-scope in nf_socket_ipv6 reported by KASAN,
   from Benjamin Hesmans.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pablo/nf:
  netfilter: socket: icmp6: fix use-after-scope

  netfilter: conntrack: switch to siphash

Also add a stat counter for this that gets exported both via old /proc
interface and ctnetlink.

Assuming the old default size of 16536 buckets and max hash occupancy of
64k, this results in 128k insertions (origin+reply), so ~8 entries per
chain on average.

The revised settings in this series will result in about two entries per
bucket on average.

This allows a hard-limit ceiling of 64.

This is not tunable at the moment, but its possible to either increase
nf_conntrack_buckets or decrease nf_conntrack_max to reduce average
lengths.

Replace jhash in conntrack and nat core with siphash.

While at it, use the netns mix value as part of the input key
rather than abuse the seed value.

conntrack has two distinct table size settings:
nf_conntrack_max and nf_conntrack_buckets.

The former limits how many conntrack objects are allowed to exist
in each namespace.

The second sets the size of the hashtable.

As all entries are inserted twice (once for original direction, once for
reply), there should be at least twice as many buckets in the table than
the maximum number of conntrack objects that can exist at the same time.

Change the default multiplier to 1 and increase the chosen bucket sizes.
This results in the same nf_conntrack_max settings as before but reduces
the average bucket list length.

This patch introduces netfilter hooks for solving the problem that
conntrack couldn't record both inner flows and outer flows.

This patch also introduces a new sysctl toggle for enabling lightweight
tunnel netfilter hooks.

This prepares for merge for ct and exp notifier structs.

The 'fcn' member is renamed to something unique.
Second, the register/unregister api is simplified.  There is only
one implementation so there is no need to do any error checking.

Replace the EBUSY logic with WARN_ON_ONCE.  This allows to remove
error unwinding.

The exp notifier register/unregister function is removed in
a followup patch.
