When creation of a new conntrack entry in ctnetlink fails after having
set up the NAT mappings, the conntrack has an extension area allocated
that is not getting properly destroyed when freeing the conntrack again.
This means the NAT extension is still in the bysource hash, causing a
crash when walking over the hash chain the next time:

The message "nf_log_packet: can't log since no backend logging module loaded
in! Please either load one, or disable logging explicitly" was displayed for
each logged packet when no userspace application is listening to nflog events.
The message seems to warn for a problem with a kernel module missing but as
said before this is not the case. I thus propose to suppress the message (I
don't see any reason to flood the log because a user application has crashed.)

Currently the last packet of a connection isn't accounted when its causing
abnormal termination.
Introduces nf_ct_kill_acct() which increments the accounting counters on
conntrack kill. The new function was necessary, because there are calls
to nf_ct_kill() which don't need accounting:
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~847:
Kills ct and returns NF_REPEAT. We don't want to count twice.
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~880:
Kills ct and returns NF_DROP. I think we don't want to count dropped
packets.
nf_conntrack_netlink.c line ~824:
As far as I can see ctnetlink_del_conntrack() is used to destroy a
conntrack on behalf of the user. There is an sk_buff, but I don't think
this is an actual packet. Incrementing counters here is therefore not
desired.

The following patch implements a new "security" table for iptables, so
that MAC (SELinux etc.) networking rules can be managed separately to
standard DAC rules.
This is to help with distro integration of the new secmark-based
network controls, per various previous discussions.
The need for a separate table arises from the fact that existing tools
and usage of iptables will likely clash with centralized MAC policy
management.
The SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets will still be valid in the mangle
table to prevent breakage of existing users.

This patch groups ctnetlink errors into three logical sets:
* Malformed messages: if ctnetlink receives a message without some mandatory
attribute, then it returns EINVAL.
* Unsupported operations: if userspace tries to perform an unsupported
operation, then it returns EOPNOTSUPP.
* Unchangeable: if userspace tries to change some attribute of the
conntrack object that can only be set once, then it returns EBUSY.
This patch reduces the number of -EINVAL from 23 to 14 and it results in
5 -EBUSY and 6 -EOPNOTSUPP.

the TCP packet is go through the chain with ip_conntrack state TW.
Well, it's very natural that the server and client close the socket
with FIN packet. But when the client/server close the socket with RST
packet(using so_linger), the counter for this connection still exsit.

Conntrack ID is not put (anymore ?) in event messages. This causes
current ulogd2 code to fail because it uses the ID to build a hash in
userspace. This hash is used to be able to output the starting time of
a connection.
Conntrack ID can be used in userspace application to maintain an easy
match between kernel connections list and userspace one. It may worth
to add it if there is no performance related issue.

Some Inovaphone PBXs exhibit very stange behaviour: when dialing for
example "123", the device sends INVITE requests for "1", "12" and
"123" back to back. The first requests will elicit error responses
from the receiver, causing the SIP helper to flush the RTP
expectations even though we might still see a positive response.
Note the sequence number of the last INVITE request that contained a
media description and only flush the expectations when receiving a
negative response for that sequence number.

Looking at the code, I ended up in nfq_mangle() function (called by
nfqnl_recv_verdict()) which performs a call to skb_copy_expand() due to
the increased size of data passed to the function. AFAICT, it should ask
for 'diff' instead of 'diff - skb_tailroom(e->skb)'. Because the
resulting sk_buff has not enough space to support the skb_put(skb, diff)
call a few lines later, this results in the call to skb_over_panic().
The patch below asks for allocation of a copy with enough space for
mangled packet and the same amount of headroom as old sk_buff. While
looking at how the regression appeared (e2b58a67), I noticed the same
pattern in ipq_mangle_ipv6() and ipq_mangle_ipv4(). The patch corrects
those locations too.
Tested with bigger reinjected IPv6 packets (nfqnl_mangle() path), things
are ok (2.6.25 and today's net-2.6 git tree).
