Skbinfo extension provides mapping of metainformation with lookup in the ipset tables.
This patch defines the flags, the constants, the functions and the structures
for the data type independent support of the extension.
Note the firewall mark stores in the kernel structures as two 32bit values,
but transfered through netlink as one 64bit value.

nfacct objects already support accounting at the byte and packet
level. As such it is a natural extension to add the possiblity to
define a ceiling limit for both metrics.
All the support for quotas itself is added to nfnetlink acctounting
framework to stay coherent with current accounting object management.
Quota limit checks are implemented in xt_nfacct filter where
statistic collection is already done.

Adds a new property for hash set types, where if a set is created
with the 'forceadd' option and the set becomes full the next addition
to the set may succeed and evict a random entry from the set.
To keep overhead low eviction is done very simply. It checks to see
which bucket the new entry would be added. If the bucket's pos value
is non-zero (meaning there's at least one entry in the bucket) it
replaces the first entry in the bucket. If pos is zero, then it continues
down the normal add process.
This property is useful if you have a set for 'ban' lists where it may
not matter if you release some entries from the set early.

Introduce packet mark support with new ip,mark hash set. This includes
userspace and kernelspace code, hash:ip,mark set tests and man page
updates.
The intended use of ip,mark set is similar to the ip:port type, but for
protocols which don't use a predictable port number. Instead of port
number it matches a firewall mark determined by a layer 7 filtering
program like opendpi.
As well as allowing or blocking traffic it will also be used for
accounting packets and bytes sent for each protocol.

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
* nf_tables: all rule updates are transactional
* nf_tables: attach replacement rule after stale one
* nf_tables: do not allow deletion/replacement of stale rules
* nf_tables: remove unused NFTA_RULE_FLAGS

====================
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree,
mostly ipset improvements and enhancements features, they are:
* Don't call ip_nest_end needlessly in the error path from me, suggested
by Pablo Neira Ayuso, from Jozsef Kadlecsik.
* Fixed sparse warnings about shadowed variable and missing rcu annotation
and fix of "may be used uninitialized" warnings, also from Jozsef.
* Renamed simple macro names to avoid namespace issues, reported by David
Laight, again from Jozsef.
* Use fix sized type for timeout in the extension part, and cosmetic
ordering of matches and targets separatedly in xt_set.c, from Jozsef.
* Support package fragments for IPv4 protos without ports from Anders K.
Pedersen. For example this allows a hash:ip,port ipset containing the
entry 192.168.0.1,gre:0 to match all package fragments for PPTP VPN
tunnels to/from the host. Without this patch only the first package
fragment (with fragment offset 0) was matched.
* Introduced a new operation to get both setname and family, from Jozsef.
ip[6]tables set match and SET target need to know the family of the set
in order to reject adding rules which refer to a set with a non-mathcing
family. Currently such rules are silently accepted and then ignored
instead of generating an error message to the user.
* Reworked extensions support in ipset types from Jozsef. The approach of
defining structures with all variations is not manageable as the
number of extensions grows. Therefore a blob for the extensions is
introduced, somewhat similar to conntrack. The support of extensions
which need a per data destroy function is added as well.
* When an element timed out in a list:set type of set, the garbage
collector skipped the checking of the next element. So the purging
was delayed to the next run of the gc, fixed by Jozsef.
* A small Kconfig fix: NETFILTER_NETLINK cannot be selected and
ipset requires it.
* hash:net,net type from Oliver Smith. The type provides the ability to
store pairs of subnets in a set.
* Comment for ipset entries from Oliver Smith. This makes possible to
annotate entries in a set with comments, for example:
ipset n foo hash:net,net comment
ipset a foo 10.0.0.0/21,192.168.1.0/24 comment "office nets A and B"
* Fix of hash types resizing with comment extension from Jozsef.
* Fix of new extensions for list:set type when an element is added
into a slot from where another element was pushed away from Jozsef.
* Introduction of a common function for the listing of the element
extensions from Jozsef.
* Net namespace support for ipset from Vitaly Lavrov.
* hash:net,port,net type from Oliver Smith, which makes possible
to store the triples of two subnets and a protocol, port pair in
a set.
* Get xt_TCPMSS working with net namespace, by Gao feng.
* Use the proper net netnamespace to allocate skbs, also by Gao feng.
* A couple of cleanups for the conntrack SIP helper, by Holger
Eitzenberger.
* Extend cttimeout to allow setting default conntrack timeouts via
nfnetlink, so we can get rid of all our sysctl/proc interfaces in
the future for timeout tuning, from me.

There are currently seven different NAT hooks used in both

nf_conntrack_sip, then set from the nf_nat_sip NAT helper.
And because each of them is exported there is quite some overhead
introduced due of this.

The "nomatch" commandline flag should invert the matching at testing,
similarly to the --return-nomatch flag of the "set" match of iptables.
Until now it worked with the elements with "nomatch" flag only. From
now on it works with elements without the flag too, i.e:
# ipset n test hash:net
# ipset a test 10.0.0.0/24 nomatch
# ipset t test 10.0.0.1
10.0.0.1 is NOT in set test.
# ipset t test 10.0.0.1 nomatch
10.0.0.1 is in set test.
# ipset a test 192.168.0.0/24
# ipset t test 192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1 is in set test.
# ipset t test 192.168.0.1 nomatch
192.168.0.1 is NOT in set test.
Before the patch the results were
...
# ipset t test 192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1 is in set test.
# ipset t test 192.168.0.1 nomatch
192.168.0.1 is in set test.

Most SIP devices use a source port of 5060/udp on SIP requests, so the
response automatically comes back to port 5060:
phone_ip:5060 -> proxy_ip:5060 REGISTER
proxy_ip:5060 -> phone_ip:5060 100 Trying
The newer Cisco IP phones, however, use a randomly chosen high source
port for the SIP request but expect the response on port 5060:
phone_ip:49173 -> proxy_ip:5060 REGISTER
proxy_ip:5060 -> phone_ip:5060 100 Trying
Standard Linux NAT, with or without nf_nat_sip, will send the reply back
to port 49173, not 5060:
phone_ip:49173 -> proxy_ip:5060 REGISTER
proxy_ip:5060 -> phone_ip:49173 100 Trying
But the phone is not listening on 49173, so it will never see the reply.
This patch modifies nf_*_sip to work around this quirk by extracting
the SIP response port from the Via: header, iff the source IP in the
packet header matches the source IP in the SIP request.

Remove non-UAPI Kbuild files that have become empty as a result of UAPI
disintegration. They used to have only header-y lines in them and those have
now moved to the Kbuild files in the corresponding uapi/ directories.
Possibly these should not be removed but rather have a comment inserted to say
they are intentionally left blank. This would make it easier to add generated
header lines in future without having to restore the infrastructure.
Note that at this point not all the UAPI disintegration parts have been merged,
so it is likely that more empty Kbuild files will turn up.
It is probably necessary to make the files non-empty to prevent the patch
program from automatically deleting them when it reduces them to nothing.

Pull preparatory patches for user API disintegration from David Howells:
"The patches herein prepare for the extraction of the Userspace API
bits from the various header files named in the Kbuild files.
New subdirectories are created under either include/uapi/ or
arch/x/include/uapi/ that correspond to the subdirectory containing
that file under include/ or arch/x/include/.
The new subdirs under the uapi/ directory are populated with Kbuild
files that mostly do nothing at this time. Further patches will
disintegrate the headers in each original directory and fill in the
Kbuild files as they do it.
These patches also:
(1) fix up #inclusions of "foo.h" rather than <foo.h>.
(2) Remove some redundant #includes from the DRM code.
(3) Make the kernel build infrastructure handle Kbuild files both in
the old places and the new UAPI place that both specify headers
to be exported.
(4) Fix some kernel tools that #include kernel headers during their
build.
