<title>netfilter: conntrack: support a fixed size of 128 distinct labels</title>

<content type='text'>
The conntrack label extension is currently variable-sized, e.g. if
only 2 labels are used by iptables rules then the labels-&gt;bits[] array
will only contain one element.

We track size of each label storage area in the 'words' member.

But in nftables and openvswitch we always have to ask for worst-case
since we don't know what bit will be used at configuration time.

As most arches are 64bit we need to allocate 24 bytes in this case:

struct nf_conn_labels {
    u8            words;   /*     0     1 */
    /* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */
    long unsigned bits[2]; /*     8     24 */

Make bits a fixed size and drop the words member, it simplifies
the code and only increases memory requirements on x86 when
less than 64bit labels are required.

We still only allocate the extension if its needed.

<title>openvswitch: fix conntrack netlink event delivery</title>

<content type='text'>
Only the first and last netlink message for a particular conntrack are
actually sent. The first message is sent through nf_conntrack_confirm when
the conntrack is committed. The last one is sent when the conntrack is
destroyed on timeout. The other conntrack state change messages are not
advertised.

When the conntrack subsystem is used from netfilter, nf_conntrack_confirm
is called for each packet, from the postrouting hook, which in turn calls
nf_ct_deliver_cached_events to send the state change netlink messages.

This commit fixes the problem by calling nf_ct_deliver_cached_events in the
non-commit case as well.

Only set conntrack mark or labels when the commit flag is specified.
This makes sure we can not set them before the connection has been
persisted, as in that case the mark and labels would be lost in an
event of an userspace upcall.

OVS userspace already requires the commit flag to accept setting
ct_mark and/or ct_labels.  Validate for this in the kernel API.

<title>openvswitch: Add packet len info to upcall.</title>

The commit f2a4d086ed4c ("openvswitch: Add packet truncation support.")
introduces packet truncation before sending to userspace upcall receiver.
This patch passes up the skb-&gt;len before truncation so that the upcall
receiver knows the original packet size. Potentially this will be used
by sFlow, where OVS translates sFlow config header=N to a sample action,
truncating packet to N byte in kernel datapath. Thus, only N bytes instead
of full-packet size is copied from kernel to userspace, saving the
kernel-to-userspace bandwidth.

The patch adds a new OVS action, OVS_ACTION_ATTR_TRUNC, in order to
truncate packets. A 'max_len' is added for setting up the maximum
packet size, and a 'cutlen' field is to record the number of bytes
to trim the packet when the packet is outputting to a port, or when
the packet is sent to userspace.

In the case of CHECKSUM_COMPLETE the skb checksum should be updated in
{push,pop}_mpls() as they the type in the ethernet header.

The nf_conntrack_core.c fix in 'net' is not relevant in 'net-next'
because we no longer have a per-netns conntrack hash.

The ip_gre.c conflict as well as the iwlwifi ones were cases of
overlapping changes.
