<title>netfilter: nf_tables: check NFT_SET_CONCAT flag if field_count is specified</title>

Since f3a2181e16f1 ("netfilter: nf_tables: Support for sets with
multiple ranged fields"), it possible to combine intervals and
concatenations. Later on, ef516e8625dd ("netfilter: nf_tables:
reintroduce the NFT_SET_CONCAT flag") provides the NFT_SET_CONCAT flag
for userspace to report that the set stores a concatenation.

Make sure NFT_SET_CONCAT is set on if field_count is specified for
consistency. Otherwise, if NFT_SET_CONCAT is specified with no
field_count, bail out with EINVAL.

<title>netfilter: nfnetlink: re-enable conntrack expectation events</title>

To avoid allocation of the conntrack extension area when possible,
the default behaviour was changed to only allocate the event extension
if a userspace program is subscribed to a notification group.

Problem is that while 'conntrack -E' does enable the event allocation
behind the scenes, 'conntrack -E expect' does not: no expectation events
are delivered unless user sets
"net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_events" back to 1 (always on).

Fix the autodetection to also consider EXP type group.

We need to track the 6 event groups (3+3, new/update/destroy for events and
for expectations each) independently, else we'd disable events again
if an expectation group becomes empty while there is still an active
event group.

This uses a pseudo-linearization scheme with a 64k global buffer,
but BIG TCP arrival means IPv6 TCP stack can generate skbs
that exceed this size.

In practice, IRC commands are not expected to exceed 512 bytes, plus
this is interactive protocol, so we should not see large packets
in practice.

Given most IRC connections nowadays use TLS so this helper could also be
removed in the near future.

This uses a pseudo-linearization scheme with a 64k global buffer,
but BIG TCP arrival means IPv6 TCP stack can generate skbs
that exceed this size.

Use skb_linearize.  It should be possible to rewrite this to properly
deal with segmented skbs (i.e., only do small chunk-wise accesses),
but this is going to be a lot more intrusive than this because every
helper function needs to get the sk_buff instead of a pointer to a raw
data buffer.

In practice, provided we're really looking at FTP control channel packets,
there should never be a case where we deal with huge packets.
