Jozsef Kadlecsik 3d14b171f0 netfilter: ipset: fix adding ranges to hash types
When ranges are added to hash types, the elements may trigger rehashing
the set. However, the last successfully added element was not kept track
so the adding started again with the first element after the rehashing.

Jozsef Kadlecsik 5416219e5c netfilter: ipset: timeout can be modified for already added elements
When an element to a set with timeout added, one can change the timeout
by "readding" the element with the "-exist" flag. That means the timeout
value is reset to the specified one (or to the default from the set
specification if the "timeout n" option is not used). Example

ipset add foo 1.2.3.4 timeout 10
ipset add foo 1.2.3.4 timeout 600 -exist

The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to

Jozsef Kadlecsik 6c02788969 netfilter: ipset: hash:ip set type support
The module implements the hash:ip type support in four flavours:
for IPv4 or IPv6, both without and with timeout support.

All the hash types are based on the "array hash" or ahash structure
and functions as a good compromise between minimal memory footprint
and speed. The hashing uses arrays to resolve clashes. The hash table
is resized (doubled) when searching becomes too long. Resizing can be
triggered by userspace add commands only and those are serialized by
the nfnl mutex. During resizing the set is read-locked, so the only
possible concurrent operations are the kernel side readers. Those are
protected by RCU locking.

Because of the four flavours and the other hash types, the functions
are implemented in general forms in the ip_set_ahash.h header file
and the real functions are generated before compiling by macro expansion.
Thus the dereferencing of low-level functions and void pointer arguments
could be avoided: the low-level functions are inlined, the function
arguments are pointers of type-specific structures.

The patch adds the IP set core support to the kernel.

The IP set core implements a netlink (nfnetlink) based protocol by which
one can create, destroy, flush, rename, swap, list, save, restore sets,
and add, delete, test elements from userspace. For simplicity (and backward
compatibilty and for not to force ip(6)tables to be linked with a netlink
library) reasons a small getsockopt-based protocol is also kept in order
to communicate with the ip(6)tables match and target.

The netlink protocol passes all u16, etc values in network order with
NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flag. The protocol enforces the proper use of the
NLA_F_NESTED and NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flags.

For other kernel subsystems (netfilter match and target) the API contains
the functions to add, delete and test elements in sets and the required calls
to get/put refereces to the sets before those operations can be performed.

The set types (which are implemented in independent modules) are stored
in a simple RCU protected list. A set type may have variants: for example
without timeout or with timeout support, for IPv4 or for IPv6. The sets
(i.e. the pointers to the sets) are stored in an array. The sets are
identified by their index in the array, which makes possible easy and
fast swapping of sets. The array is protected indirectly by the nfnl
mutex from nfnetlink. The content of the sets are protected by the rwlock
of the set.

There are functional differences between the add/del/test functions
for the kernel and userspace:

- kernel add/del/test: works on the current packet (i.e. one element)
- kernel test: may trigger an "add" operation  in order to fill
  out unspecified parts of the element from the packet (like MAC address)
- userspace add/del: works on the netlink message and thus possibly
  on multiple elements from the IPSET_ATTR_ADT container attribute.
- userspace add: may trigger resizing of a set
