Pull clone3 fix from Christian Brauner:
 "A simple fix for the clone3() system call.

  The CLONE_NEWTIME allows the creation of time namespaces. The flag
  reuses a bit from the CSIGNAL bits that are used in the legacy clone()
  system call to set the signal that gets sent to the parent after the
  child exits.

  The clone3() system call doesn't rely on CSIGNAL anymore as it uses a
  dedicated .exit_signal field in struct clone_args. So we blocked all
  CSIGNAL bits in clone3_args_valid(). When CLONE_NEWTIME was introduced
  and reused a CSIGNAL bit we forgot to adapt clone3_args_valid()
  causing CLONE_NEWTIME with clone3() to be rejected. Fix this"

&amp;xdp_buff and &amp;xdp_frame are bound in a way that

xdp_buff-&gt;data_hard_start == xdp_frame

It's always the case and e.g. xdp_convert_buff_to_frame() relies on
this.
IOW, the following:

	for (u32 i = 0; i &lt; 0xdead; i++) {
		xdpf = xdp_convert_buff_to_frame(&amp;xdp);
		xdp_convert_frame_to_buff(xdpf, &amp;xdp);
	}

shouldn't ever modify @xdpf's contents or the pointer itself.
However, "live packet" code wrongly treats &amp;xdp_frame as part of its
context placed *before* the data_hard_start. With such flow,
data_hard_start is sizeof(*xdpf) off to the right and no longer points
to the XDP frame.

Instead of replacing `sizeof(ctx)` with `offsetof(ctx, xdpf)` in several
places and praying that there are no more miscalcs left somewhere in the
code, unionize ::frm with ::data in a flex array, so that both starts
pointing to the actual data_hard_start and the XDP frame actually starts
being a part of it, i.e. a part of the headroom, not the context.
A nice side effect is that the maximum frame size for this mode gets
increased by 40 bytes, as xdp_buff::frame_sz includes everything from
data_hard_start (-&gt; includes xdpf already) to the end of XDP/skb shared
info.
Also update %MAX_PKT_SIZE accordingly in the selftests code. Leave it
hardcoded for 64 bit &amp;&amp; 4k pages, it can be made more flexible later on.

Minor: align `&amp;head-&gt;data` with how `head-&gt;frm` is assigned for
consistency.
Minor #2: rename 'frm' to 'frame' in &amp;xdp_page_head while at it for
clarity.

(was found while testing XDP traffic generator on ice, which calls
 xdp_convert_frame_to_buff() for each XDP frame)

(was found while testing XDP traffic generator on ice, which calls
 xdp_convert_frame_to_buff() for each XDP frame)

<title>capability: just use a 'u64' instead of a 'u32[2]' array</title>

<content type='text'>
Back in 2008 we extended the capability bits from 32 to 64, and we did
it by extending the single 32-bit capability word from one word to an
array of two words.  It was then obfuscated by hiding the "2" behind two
macro expansions, with the reasoning being that maybe it gets extended
further some day.

That reasoning may have been valid at the time, but the last thing we
want to do is to extend the capability set any more.  And the array of
values not only causes source code oddities (with loops to deal with
it), but also results in worse code generation.  It's a lose-lose
situation.

So just change the 'u32[2]' into a 'u64' and be done with it.

We still have to deal with the fact that the user space interface is
designed around an array of these 32-bit values, but that was the case
before too, since the array layouts were different (ie user space
doesn't use an array of 32-bit values for individual capability masks,
but an array of 32-bit slices of multiple masks).

So that marshalling of data is actually simplified too, even if it does
remain somewhat obscure and odd.

This was all triggered by my reaction to the new "cap_isidentical()"
introduced recently.  By just using a saner data structure, it went from

	unsigned __capi;
	CAP_FOR_EACH_U32(__capi) {
		if (a.cap[__capi] != b.cap[__capi])
			return false;
	}
	return true;

to just being

	return a.val == b.val;

instead.  Which is rather more obvious both to humans and to compilers.

<title>selftests: nft_nat: ensuring the listening side is up before starting the client</title>

The test_local_dnat_portonly() function initiates the client-side as
soon as it sets the listening side to the background. This could lead to
a race condition where the server may not be ready to listen. To ensure
that the server-side is up and running before initiating the
client-side, a delay is introduced to the test_local_dnat_portonly()
function.

Before the fix:
  # ./nft_nat.sh
  PASS: netns routing/connectivity: ns0-rthlYrBU can reach ns1-rthlYrBU and ns2-rthlYrBU
  PASS: ping to ns1-rthlYrBU was ip NATted to ns2-rthlYrBU

  PASS: ipv6 ping to ns1-rthlYrBU was ip6 NATted to ns2-rthlYrBU
