The find_pattern() debug output was printing the 'skip' character.
This can be a NULL-byte and messes up further pr_debug() output.

Simplify the check in physdev_mt_check() to emit an error message
only when passed an invalid chain (ie, NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT).
This avoids cluttering up the log with errors against valid rules.

For large/heavily modified rulesets, current behavior can quickly
overwhelm the ring buffer, because this function gets called on
every change, regardless of the rule that was changed.

<title>netfilter: xt_nfacct: Fix alignment mismatch in xt_nfacct_match_info</title>

<id>89a26cd4b501e9511d3cd3d22327fc76a75a38b3</id>
<content type='text'>
When running a 64-bit kernel with a 32-bit iptables binary, the size of
the xt_nfacct_match_info struct diverges.

    kernel: sizeof(struct xt_nfacct_match_info) : 40
    iptables: sizeof(struct xt_nfacct_match_info)) : 36

Trying to append nfacct related rules results in an unhelpful message.
Although it is suggested to look for more information in dmesg, nothing
can be found there.

    # iptables -A &lt;chain&gt; -m nfacct --nfacct-name &lt;acct-object&gt;
    iptables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information.

This patch fixes the memory misalignment by enforcing 8-byte alignment
within the struct's first revision. This solution is often used in many
other uapi netfilter headers.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds initial support for offloading basechains using the
priority range from 1 to 65535. This is restricting the netfilter
priority range to 16-bit integer since this is what most drivers assume
so far from tc. It should be possible to extend this range of supported
priorities later on once drivers are updated to support for 32-bit
integer priorities.

TCP rst and fin packets do not qualify to place a flow into the
flowtable. Most likely there will be no more packets after connection
closure. Without this patch, this flow entry expires and connection
tracking picks up the entry in ESTABLISHED state using the fixup
timeout, which makes this look inconsistent to the user for a connection
that is actually already closed.

<title>netfilter: conntrack: Use consistent ct id hash calculation</title>

<id>656c8e9cc1badbc18eefe6ba01d33ebbcae61b9a</id>
<content type='text'>
Change ct id hash calculation to only use invariants.

Currently the ct id hash calculation is based on some fields that can
change in the lifetime on a conntrack entry in some corner cases. The
current hash uses the whole tuple which contains an hlist pointer which
will change when the conntrack is placed on the dying list resulting in
a ct id change.

This patch also removes the reply-side tuple and extension pointer from
the hash calculation so that the ct id will will not change from
initialization until confirmation.

Flows that are in teardown state (due to RST / FIN TCP packet) still
have their offload flag set on. Hence, the conntrack garbage collector
may race to undo the timeout adjustment that the fixup routine performs,
leaving the conntrack entry in place with the internal offload timeout
(one day).

Update teardown flow state to ESTABLISHED and set tracking to liberal,
then once the offload bit is cleared, adjust timeout if it is more than
the default fixup timeout (conntrack might already have set a lower
timeout from the packet path).
