Couple conflicts resolved here:
1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the
RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes
to support variable sized rings.
2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix
overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support
ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip.
3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the
stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up
and reorganized in 'net-next'.
4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in
'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with
Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction
in 'net'. It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard
the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against
tc_skip_sw().
5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some
unrelated changes in 'net-next'.
6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head()
bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of
the same code in 'net-next'. Since the 'net-next' code no
longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do
other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks.

As Liping Zhang reports, after commit a8b1e36d0d ("netfilter: nft_dynset:
fix element timeout for HZ != 1000"), priv->timeout was stored in jiffies,
while set->timeout was stored in milliseconds. This is inconsistent and
incorrect.
Firstly, we already call msecs_to_jiffies in nft_set_elem_init, so
priv->timeout will be converted to jiffies twice.
Secondly, if the user did not specify the NFTA_DYNSET_TIMEOUT attr,
set->timeout will be used, but we forget to call msecs_to_jiffies
when do update elements.
Fix this by using jiffies internally for traditional sets and doing the
conversions to/from msec when interacting with userspace - as dynset
already does.
This is preferable to doing the conversions, when elements are inserted or
updated, because this can happen very frequently on busy dynsets.

2. memory will be leaked, if clone fail, we just return NULL and forget

The meta expression has been also updated to check to tprot_set in first

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next,
they are:
1) Don't use userspace datatypes in bridge netfilter code, from
Tobin Harding.
2) Iterate only once over the expectation table when removing the
helper module, instead of once per-netns, from Florian Westphal.
3) Extra sanitization in xt_hook_ops_alloc() to return error in case
we ever pass zero hooks, xt_hook_ops_alloc():
4) Handle NFPROTO_INET from the logging core infrastructure, from
Liping Zhang.
5) Autoload loggers when TRACE target is used from rules, this doesn't
change the behaviour in case the user already selected nfnetlink_log
as preferred way to print tracing logs, also from Liping Zhang.
6) Conntrack slabs with SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN to allow rearranging fields
by cache lines, increases the size of entries in 11% per entry.
From Florian Westphal.
7) Skip zone comparison if CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_ZONES=n, from Florian.
8) Remove useless defensive check in nf_logger_find_get() from Shivani
Bhardwaj.
9) Remove zone extension as place it in the conntrack object, this is
always include in the hashing and we expect more intensive use of
zones since containers are in place. Also from Florian Westphal.
10) Owner match now works from any namespace, from Eric Bierdeman.
11) Make sure we only reply with TCP reset to TCP traffic from
nf_reject_ipv4, patch from Liping Zhang.
12) Introduce --nflog-size to indicate amount of network packet bytes
that are copied to userspace via log message, from Vishwanath Pai.
This obsoletes --nflog-range that has never worked, it was designed
to achieve this but it has never worked.
13) Introduce generic macros for nf_tables object generation masks.
14) Use generation mask in table, chain and set objects in nf_tables.
This allows fixes interferences with ongoing preparation phase of
the commit protocol and object listings going on at the same time.
This update is introduced in three patches, one per object.
15) Check if the object is active in the next generation for element
deactivation in the rbtree implementation, given that deactivation
happens from the commit phase path we have to observe the future
status of the object.
16) Support for deletion of just added elements in the hash set type.
17) Allow to resize hashtable from /proc entry, not only from the
obscure /sys entry that maps to the module parameter, from Florian
Westphal.
18) Get rid of NFT_BASECHAIN_DISABLED, this code is not exercised
anymore since we tear down the ruleset whenever the netdevice
goes away.
19) Support for matching inverted set lookups, from Arturo Borrero.
20) Simplify the iptables_mangle_hook() by removing a superfluous
extra branch.
21) Introduce ether_addr_equal_masked() and use it from the netfilter
codebase, from Joe Perches.
22) Remove references to "Use netfilter MARK value as routing key"
from the Netfilter Kconfig description given that this toggle
doesn't exists already for 10 years, from Moritz Sichert.
23) Introduce generic NF_INVF() and use it from the xtables codebase,

nul-termination was included in the string. This fixes seems to

This patch addresses two problems:
1) The netlink dump is inconsistent when interfering with an ongoing
transaction update for several reasons:
1.a) We don't honor the internal NFT_TABLE_INACTIVE flag, and we should
be skipping these inactive objects in the dump.
1.b) We perform speculative deletion during the preparation phase, that
may result in skipping active objects.
1.c) The listing order changes, which generates noise when tracking
incremental ruleset update via tools like git or our own
testsuite.
2) We don't allow to add and to update the object in the same batch,
eg. add table x; add table x { flags dormant\; }.
In order to resolve these problems:
1) If the user requests a deletion, the object becomes inactive in the
next generation. Then, ignore objects that scheduled to be deleted
from the lookup path, as they will be effectively removed in the
next generation.
2) From the get/dump path, if the object is not currently active, we
skip it.
3) Support 'add X -> update X' sequence from a transaction.
After this update, we obtain a consistent list as long as we stay
in the same generation. The userspace side can detect interferences
through the generation counter so it can restart the dumping.

Thus, we can reuse these to check the genmask of any object type, not

Liping Zhang says:
"Users may add such a wrong nft rules successfully, which will cause an
endless jump loop:
# nft add rule filter test tcp dport vmap {1: jump test}
This is because before we commit, the element in the current anonymous
set is inactive, so osp->walk will skip this element and miss the
validate check."
To resolve this problem, this patch passes the generation mask to the
walk function through the iter container structure depending on the code
path:
1) If we're dumping the elements, then we have to check if the element
is active in the current generation. Thus, we check for the current
bit in the genmask.
2) If we're checking for loops, then we have to check if the element is
active in the next generation, as we're in the middle of a
transaction. Thus, we check for the next bit in the genmask.

nft monitor mode can then decode and display this trace data.
Parts of LL/Network/Transport headers are provided as separate

Otherwise, printing IP address data becomes virtually impossible
for userspace since in the case of the netdev family we really don't
want userspace to have to know all the possible link layer types
and/or sizes just to display/print an ip address.
We also don't want userspace to have to follow ipv6 header chains
to get the s/dport info, the kernel already did this work for us.
To avoid bloating nft_do_chain all data required for tracing is
encapsulated in nft_traceinfo.

When dumping register numbers, values are expressed using the old values

Set elements are the last object type not supporting transaction support.
Implement similar to the existing rule transactions:
The global transaction counter keeps track of two generations, current
and next. Each element contains a bitmask specifying in which generations
it is inactive.
New elements start out as inactive in the current generation and active
in the next. On commit, the previous next generation becomes the current
generation and the element becomes active. The bitmask is then cleared
to indicate that the element is active in all future generations. If the
transaction is aborted, the element is removed from the set before it
becomes active.
When removing an element, it gets marked as inactive in the next generation.
On commit the next generation becomes active and the therefor the element
inactive. It is then taken out of then set and released. On abort, the
element is marked as active for the next generation again.
Lookups ignore elements not active in the current generation.
The current set types (hash/rbtree) both use a field in the extension area
to store the generation mask. This (currently) does not require any
additional memory since we have some free space in there.

The set implementations' ->remove() functions are changed to only take
the element out of their internal data structures. Elements will be freed
in a batched fashion after the global transaction's completion RCU grace
period.
This reduces the amount of grace periods required for nft_hash from N
to zero additional ones, additionally this guarantees that the set
elements' extensions of all implementations can be used under RCU
protection.

The set implementations' private struct will only contain the elements
needed to maintain the search structure, all other elements are moved
to the set extensions.
Element allocation and initialization is performed centrally by
nf_tables_api instead of by the different set implementations'
->insert() functions. A new "elemsize" member in the set ops specifies
the amount of memory to reserve for internal usage. Destruction
will also be moved out of the set implementations by a following patch.
Except for element allocation, the patch is a simple conversion to
using data from the extension area.

The existing xtables matches and targets, when used from nft_compat, may
sleep from the destroy path, ie. when removing rules. Since the objects
are released via call_rcu from softirq context, this results in lockdep
splats and possible lockups that may be hard to reproduce.
Patrick also indicated that delayed object release via call_rcu can
cause us problems in the ordering of event notifications when anonymous
sets are in place.
So, this patch restores the synchronous object release from the commit
and abort paths. This includes a call to synchronize_rcu() to make sure
that no packets are walking on the objects that are going to be
released. This is slowier though, but it's simple and it resolves the
aforementioned problems.
This is a partial revert of c7c32e7 ("netfilter: nf_tables: defer all

This adds the missing validation code to avoid the use of nat/masq from
non-nat chains. The validation assumes two possible configuration
scenarios:
1) Use of nat from base chain that is not of nat type. Reject this
configuration from the nft_*_init() path of the expression.
2) Use of nat from non-base chain. In this case, we have to wait until
the non-base chain is referenced by at least one base chain via
jump/goto. This is resolved from the nft_*_validate() path which is
called from nf_tables_check_loops().
The user gets an -EOPNOTSUPP in both cases.

This patch reworks the nf_tables API so set updates are included in
the same batch that contains rule updates. This speeds up rule-set
updates since we skip a dialog of four messages between kernel and
user-space (two on each direction), from:
1) create the set and send netlink message to the kernel
2) process the response from the kernel that contains the allocated name.
3) add the set elements and send netlink message to the kernel.
4) process the response from the kernel (to check for errors).
To:
1) add the set to the batch.
2) add the set elements to the batch.
3) add the rule that points to the set.
4) send batch to the kernel.
This also introduces an internal set ID (NFTA_SET_ID) that is unique
in the batch so set elements and rules can refer to new sets.
Backward compatibility has been only retained in userspace, this
means that new nft versions can talk to the kernel both in the new
and the old fashion.

The current set selection simply choses the first set type that provides
the requested features, which always results in the rbtree being chosen
by virtue of being the first set in the list.
What we actually want to do is choose the implementation that can provide
the requested features and is optimal from either a performance or memory
perspective depending on the characteristics of the elements and the
preferences specified by the user.
The elements are not known when creating a set. Even if we would provide
them for anonymous (literal) sets, we'd still have standalone sets where
the elements are not known in advance. We therefore need an abstract
description of the data charcteristics.
The kernel already knows the size of the key, this patch starts by
introducing a nested set description which so far contains only the maximum
amount of elements. Based on this the set implementations are changed to
provide an estimate of the required amount of memory and the lookup
complexity class.
The set ops have a new callback ->estimate() that is invoked during set
selection. It receives a structure containing the attributes known to the
kernel and is supposed to populate a struct nft_set_estimate with the
complexity class and, in case the size is known, the complete amount of
memory required, or the amount of memory required per element otherwise.
Based on the policy specified by the user (performance/memory, defaulting
to performance) the kernel will then select the best suited implementation.
Even if the set implementation would allow to add more than the specified
maximum amount of elements, they are enforced since new implementations
might not be able to add more than maximum based on which they were
selected.

We may lost race if we flush the rule-set (which happens asynchronously

Fix this by recovering synchronous rule and chain deletion. This was
introduced time ago before we had no batch support, and synchronous
rule deletion performance was not good. Now that we have the batch
support, we can just postpone the purge of old rule in a second step
in the commit phase. All object deletions are synchronous after this
patch.
As a side effect, we save memory as we don't need rcu_head per rule

This patch adds a batch support to nfnetlink. Basically, it adds
two new control messages:
* NFNL_MSG_BATCH_BEGIN, that indicates the beginning of a batch,
the nfgenmsg->res_id indicates the nfnetlink subsystem ID.
* NFNL_MSG_BATCH_END, that results in the invocation of the
ss->commit callback function. If not specified or an error
ocurred in the batch, the ss->abort function is invoked
instead.
The end message represents the commit operation in nftables, the
lack of end message results in an abort. This patch also adds the
.call_batch function that is only called from the batch receival
path.
This patch adds atomic rule updates and dumps based on
bitmask generations. This allows to atomically commit a set of
rule-set updates incrementally without altering the internal
state of existing nf_tables expressions/matches/targets.
The idea consists of using a generation cursor of 1 bit and
a bitmask of 2 bits per rule. Assuming the gencursor is 0,
then the genmask (expressed as a bitmask) can be interpreted
as:
00 active in the present, will be active in the next generation.
01 inactive in the present, will be active in the next generation.
10 active in the present, will be deleted in the next generation.
^
gencursor
Once you invoke the transition to the next generation, the global
gencursor is updated:
00 active in the present, will be active in the next generation.
01 active in the present, needs to zero its future, it becomes 00.
10 inactive in the present, delete now.
^
gencursor
If a dump is in progress and nf_tables enters a new generation,
the dump will stop and return -EBUSY to let userspace know that
it has to retry again. In order to invalidate dumps, a global
genctr counter is increased everytime nf_tables enters a new
generation.
This new operation can be used from the user-space utility
that controls the firewall, eg.
nft -f restore
The rule updates contained in `file' will be applied atomically.
cat file
-----
add filter INPUT ip saddr 1.1.1.1 counter accept #1
del filter INPUT ip daddr 2.2.2.2 counter drop #2
-EOF-
Note that the rule 1 will be inactive until the transition to the
next generation, the rule 2 will be evicted in the next generation.
There is a penalty during the rule update due to the branch
misprediction in the packet matching framework. But that should be
quickly resolved once the iteration over the commit list that
contain rules that require updates is finished.
Event notification happens once the rule-set update has been
committed. So we skip notifications is case the rule-set update
is aborted, which can happen in case that the rule-set is tested
to apply correctly.
This patch squashed the following patches from Pablo:
* nf_tables: atomic rule updates and dumps
* nf_tables: get rid of per rule list_head for commits
* nf_tables: use per netns commit list
* nfnetlink: add batch support and use it from nf_tables

This patch adds the x_tables compatibility layer. This allows you
to use existing x_tables matches and targets from nf_tables.
This compatibility later allows us to use existing matches/targets
for features that are still missing in nf_tables. We can progressively
replace them with native nf_tables extensions. It also provides the
userspace compatibility software that allows you to express the
rule-set using the iptables syntax but using the nf_tables kernel
components.
In order to get this compatibility layer working, I've done the
following things:
* add NFNL_SUBSYS_NFT_COMPAT: this new nfnetlink subsystem is used
to query the x_tables match/target revision, so we don't need to
use the native x_table getsockopt interface.
* emulate xt structures: this required extending the struct nft_pktinfo
to include the fragment offset, which is already obtained from
ip[6]_tables and that is used by some matches/targets.
* add support for default policy to base chains, required to emulate
x_tables.
* add NFTA_CHAIN_USE attribute to obtain the number of references to
chains, required by x_tables emulation.
* add chain packet/byte counters using per-cpu.
* support 32-64 bits compat.
For historical reasons, this patch includes the following patches
that were posted in the netfilter-devel mailing list.

This patch adds the new netlink API for maintaining nf_tables sets
independently of the ruleset. The API supports the following operations:
- creation of sets
- deletion of sets
- querying of specific sets
- dumping of all sets
- addition of set elements
- removal of set elements
- dumping of all set elements
Sets are identified by name, each table defines an individual namespace.
The name of a set may be allocated automatically, this is mostly useful
in combination with the NFT_SET_ANONYMOUS flag, which destroys a set
automatically once the last reference has been released.
Sets can be marked constant, meaning they're not allowed to change while
linked to a rule. This allows to perform lockless operation for set
types that would otherwise require locking.
Additionally, if the implementation supports it, sets can (as before) be
used as maps, associating a data value with each key (or range), by
specifying the NFT_SET_MAP flag and can be used for interval queries by
specifying the NFT_SET_INTERVAL flag.
Set elements are added and removed incrementally. All element operations
support batching, reducing netlink message and set lookup overhead.
The old "set" and "hash" expressions are replaced by a generic "lookup"
expression, which binds to the specified set. Userspace is not aware
of the actual set implementation used by the kernel anymore, all
configuration options are generic.
Currently the implementation selection logic is largely missing and the
kernel will simply use the first registered implementation supporting the
requested operation. Eventually, the plan is to have userspace supply a
description of the data characteristics and select the implementation
based on expected performance and memory use.
This patch includes the new 'lookup' expression to look up for element
matching in the set.
This patch includes kernel-doc descriptions for this set API and it
also includes the following fixes.

This patch adds nftables which is the intended successor of iptables.
This packet filtering framework reuses the existing netfilter hooks,
the connection tracking system, the NAT subsystem, the transparent
proxying engine, the logging infrastructure and the userspace packet
queueing facilities.
In a nutshell, nftables provides a pseudo-state machine with 4 general
purpose registers of 128 bits and 1 specific purpose register to store
verdicts. This pseudo-machine comes with an extensible instruction set,
a.k.a. "expressions" in the nftables jargon. The expressions included
in this patch provide the basic functionality, they are:
* bitwise: to perform bitwise operations.
* byteorder: to change from host/network endianess.
* cmp: to compare data with the content of the registers.
* counter: to enable counters on rules.
* ct: to store conntrack keys into register.
* exthdr: to match IPv6 extension headers.
* immediate: to load data into registers.
* limit: to limit matching based on packet rate.
* log: to log packets.
* meta: to match metainformation that usually comes with the skbuff.
* nat: to perform Network Address Translation.
* payload: to fetch data from the packet payload and store it into
registers.
* reject (IPv4 only): to explicitly close connection, eg. TCP RST.
Using this instruction-set, the userspace utility 'nft' can transform
the rules expressed in human-readable text representation (using a
new syntax, inspired by tcpdump) to nftables bytecode.
nftables also inherits the table, chain and rule objects from
iptables, but in a more configurable way, and it also includes the
original datatype-agnostic set infrastructure with mapping support.
This set infrastructure is enhanced in the follow up patch (netfilter:
nf_tables: add netlink set API).
This patch includes the following components:
* the netlink API: net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c and
include/uapi/netfilter/nf_tables.h
* the packet filter core: net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c
* the expressions (described above): net/netfilter/nft_*.c
* the filter tables: arp, IPv4, IPv6 and bridge:
net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv4.c
net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv6.c
net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_tables_arp.c
net/bridge/netfilter/nf_tables_bridge.c
* the NAT table (IPv4 only):
net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_table_nat_ipv4.c
* the route table (similar to mangle):
net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_table_route_ipv4.c
net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_table_route_ipv6.c
* internal definitions under:
include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h
include/net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.h
* It also includes an skeleton expression:
net/netfilter/nft_expr_template.c
and the preliminary implementation of the meta target
net/netfilter/nft_meta_target.c
It also includes a change in struct nf_hook_ops to add a new
pointer to store private data to the hook, that is used to store
the rule list per chain.
