commit 0ceabd83875b72a29f33db4ab703d6ba40ea4c58
(netfilter: ctnetlink: deliver labels to userspace) sets the event bit
when we raced with another packet, instead of raising the event bit
when the label bit is set for the first time.
commit 9b21f6a90924dfe8e5e686c314ddb441fb06501e
(netfilter: ctnetlink: allow userspace to modify labels) forgot to update
the event mask in the "conntrack already exists" case.
Both issues result in CTA_LABELS attribute not getting included in the
conntrack event.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

The following patchset contain updates for your net-next tree, they are:
* Fix (for just added) connlabel dependencies, from Florian Westphal.
* Add aliasing support for conntrack, thus users can either use -m state
or -m conntrack from iptables while using the same kernel module, from
Jozsef Kadlecsik.
* Some code refactoring for the CT target to merge common code in
revision 0 and 1, from myself.
* Add aliasing support for CT, based on patch from Jozsef Kadlecsik.
* Add one mutex per nfnetlink subsystem, from myself.

Pull in 'net' to take in the bug fixes that didn't make it into
3.8-final.
Also, deal with the semantic conflict of the change made to
net/ipv6/xfrm6_policy.c A missing rt6->n neighbour release
was added to 'net', but in 'net-next' we no longer cache the
neighbour entries in the ipv6 routes so that change is not
appropriate there.

Userspace can cause kernel panic by not specifying orig/reply

Add the ability to set/clear labels assigned to a conntrack
via ctnetlink.
To allow userspace to only alter specific bits, Pablo suggested to add
a new CTA_LABELS_MASK attribute:
The new set of active labels is then determined via
active = (active & ~mask) ^ changeset
i.e., the mask selects those bits in the existing set that should be
changed.
This follows the same method already used by MARK and CONNMARK targets.
Omitting CTA_LABELS_MASK is the same as setting all bits in CTA_LABELS_MASK
to 1: The existing set is replaced by the one from userspace.

similar to connmarks, except labels are bit-based; i.e.
all labels may be attached to a flow at the same time.
Up to 128 labels are supported. Supporting more labels
is possible, but requires increasing the ct offset delta
from u8 to u16 type due to increased extension sizes.
Mapping of bit-identifier to label name is done in userspace.
The extension is enabled at run-time once "-m connlabel" netfilter
rules are added.

This patch adds a new operation to dump the content of the dying and
unconfirmed lists.
Under some situations, the global conntrack counter can be inconsistent
with the number of entries that we can dump from the conntrack table.
The way to resolve this is to allow dumping the content of the unconfirmed
and dying lists, so far it was not possible to look at its content.
This provides some extra instrumentation to resolve problematic situations
in which anyone suspects memory leaks.

This patch modifies the conntrack subsystem so that all existing
allocated conntrack objects can be found in any of the following
places:
* the hash table, this is the typical place for alive conntrack objects.
* the unconfirmed list, this is the place for newly created conntrack objects
that are still traversing the stack.
* the dying list, this is where you can find conntrack objects that are dying
or that should die anytime soon (eg. once the destroy event is delivered to
the conntrackd daemon).
Thus, we make sure that we follow the track for all existing conntrack
objects. This patch, together with some extension of the ctnetlink interface
to dump the content of the dying and unconfirmed lists, will help in case
to debug suspected nf_conn object leaks.

This patch allows the FTP helper to pickup the sequence tracking from
the first packet seen. This is useful to fix the breakage of the first
FTP command after the failover while using conntrackd to synchronize
states.
The seq_aft_nl_num field in struct nf_ct_ftp_info has been shrinked to
16-bits (enough for what it does), so we can use the remaining 16-bits
to store the flags while using the same size for the private FTP helper
data.

In "9cb0176 netfilter: add glue code to integrate nfnetlink_queue and ctnetlink"
the compilation with NF_CONNTRACK disabled is broken. This patch fixes this
issue.
I have moved the conntrack part into nfnetlink_queue_ct.c to avoid
peppering the entire nfnetlink_queue.c code with ifdefs.
I also needed to rename nfnetlink_queue.c to nfnetlink_queue_pkt.c
to update the net/netfilter/Makefile to support conditional compilation
of the conntrack integration.
This patch also adds CONFIG_NETFILTER_QUEUE_CT in case you want to explicitly
disable the integration between nf_conntrack and nfnetlink_queue.

The patch 1afc56794e03: "netfilter: nf_ct_helper: implement variable
length helper private data" from Jun 7, 2012, leads to the following
Smatch complaint:
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c:1231 ctnetlink_change_helper()
error: we previously assumed 'help->helper' could be null (see line 1228)
This NULL dereference can be triggered with the following sequence:
1) attach the helper for first time when the conntrack is created.
2) remove the helper module or detach the helper from the conntrack
via ctnetlink.
3) attach helper again (the same or different one, no matter) to the
that existing conntrack again via ctnetlink.
This patch fixes the problem by removing the use case that allows you
to re-assign again a helper for one conntrack entry via ctnetlink since
I cannot find any practical use for it.

User-space programs that receive traffic via NFQUEUE may mangle packets.
If NAT is enabled, this usually puzzles sequence tracking, leading to
traffic disruptions.
With this patch, nfnl_queue will make the corresponding NAT TCP sequence
adjustment if:
1) The packet has been mangled,
2) the NFQA_CFG_F_CONNTRACK flag has been set, and
3) NAT is detected.
There are some records on the Internet complaning about this issue:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/260757/packet-mangling-utilities-besides-iptables
By now, we only support TCP since we have no helpers for DCCP or SCTP.
Better to add this if we ever have some helper over those layer 4 protocols.

This patch allows you to include the conntrack information together
with the packet that is sent to user-space via NFQUEUE.
Previously, there was no integration between ctnetlink and
nfnetlink_queue. If you wanted to access conntrack information
from your libnetfilter_queue program, you required to query
ctnetlink from user-space to obtain it. Thus, delaying the packet
processing even more.
Including the conntrack information is optional, you can set it
via NFQA_CFG_F_CONNTRACK flag with the new NFQA_CFG_FLAGS attribute.

This refreshes the "timeout" attribute in existing expectations if one is
given.
The use case for this would be for userspace helpers to extend the lifetime
of the expectation when requested, as this is not possible right now
without deleting/recreating the expectation.
I use this specifically for forwarding DCERPC traffic through:
DCERPC has a port mapper daemon that chooses a (seemingly) random port for
future traffic to go to. We expect this traffic (with a reasonable
timeout), but sometimes the port mapper will tell the client to continue
using the same port. This allows us to extend the expectation accordingly.

gets full, soft lockup happens. This is because the nf_conntrack_lock
is held while nf_conntrack_alloc is called, which is in turn wants
to lock nf_conntrack_lock while evicting entries from the full table.
The patch fixes the soft lockup with limiting the holding of the
nf_conntrack_lock to the minimum, where it's absolutely required.
It required to extend (and thus change) nf_conntrack_hash_insert
so that it makes sure conntrack and ctnetlink do not add the same entry
twice to the conntrack table.

This reverts commit af14cca162ddcdea017b648c21b9b091e4bf1fa4.
This patch contains a race condition between packets and ctnetlink
in the conntrack addition. A new patch to fix this issue follows up.

This patch partially reverts:
3d058d7 netfilter: rework user-space expectation helper support
that was applied during the 3.2 development cycle.
After this patch, the tree remains just like before patch bc01bef,
that initially added the preliminary infrastructure.
I decided to partially revert this patch because the approach
that I proposed to resolve this problem is broken in NAT setups.
Moreover, a new infrastructure will be submitted for the 3.3.x
development cycle that resolve the existing issues while
providing a neat solution.
Since nobody has been seriously using this infrastructure in
user-space, the removal of this feature should affect any know
FOSS project (to my knowledge).

commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to
RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a
complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x,
y).
We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL.
