====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains a large Netfilter update for net-next,
to summarise:

1) Add support for stateful objects. This series provides a nf_tables
   native alternative to the extended accounting infrastructure for
   nf_tables. Two initial stateful objects are supported: counters and
   quotas. Objects are identified by a user-defined name, you can fetch
   and reset them anytime. You can also use a maps to allow fast lookups
   using any arbitrary key combination. More info at:

   http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=148029128323837&w=2

2) On-demand registration of nf_conntrack and defrag hooks per netns.
   Register nf_conntrack hooks if we have a stateful ruleset, ie.
   state-based filtering or NAT. The new nf_conntrack_default_on sysctl
   enables this from newly created netnamespaces. Default behaviour is not
   modified. Patches from Florian Westphal.

3) Allocate 4k chunks and then use these for x_tables counter allocation
   requests, this improves ruleset load time and also datapath ruleset
   evaluation, patches from Florian Westphal.

4) Add support for ebpf to the existing x_tables bpf extension.
   From Willem de Bruijn.

5) Update layer 4 checksum if any of the pseudoheader fields is updated.
   This provides a limited form of 1:1 stateless NAT that make sense in
   specific scenario, eg. load balancing.

6) Add support to flush sets in nf_tables. This series comes with a new
   set->ops->deactivate_one() indirection given that we have to walk
   over the list of set elements, then deactivate them one by one.
   The existing set->ops->deactivate() performs an element lookup that
   we don't need.

7) Two patches to avoid cloning packets, thus speed up packet forwarding
   via nft_fwd from ingress. From Florian Westphal.

8) Two IPVS patches via Simon Horman: Decrement ttl in all modes to
   prevent infinite loops, patch from Dwip Banerjee. And one minor
   refactoring from Gao feng.

9) Revisit recent log support for nf_tables netdev families: One patch
   to ensure that we correctly handle non-ethernet packets. Another
   patch to add missing logger definition for netdev. Patches from
   Liping Zhang.

10) Three patches for nft_fib, one to address insufficient register
    initialization and another to solve incorrect (although harmless)
    byteswap operation. Moreover update xt_rpfilter and nft_fib to match
    lbcast packets with zeronet as source, eg. DHCP Discover packets
    (0.0.0.0 -> 255.255.255.255). Also from Liping Zhang.

11) Built-in DCCP, SCTP and UDPlite conntrack and NAT support, from
    Davide Caratti. While DCCP is rather hopeless lately, and UDPlite has
    been broken in many-cast mode for some little time, let's give them a
    chance by placing them at the same level as other existing protocols.
    Thus, users don't explicitly have to modprobe support for this and
    NAT rules work for them. Some people point to the lack of support in
    SOHO Linux-based routers that make deployment of new protocols harder.
    I guess other middleboxes outthere on the Internet are also to blame.
    Anyway, let's see if this has any impact in the midrun.

12) Skip software SCTP software checksum calculation if the NIC comes
    with SCTP checksum offload support. From Davide Caratti.

13) Initial core factoring to prepare conversion to hook array. Three
    patches from Aaron Conole.

14) Gao Feng made a wrong conversion to switch in the xt_multiport
    extension in a patch coming in the previous batch. Fix it in this
    batch.

15) Get vmalloc call in sync with kmalloc flags to avoid a warning
    and likely OOM killer intervention from x_tables. From Marcelo
    Ricardo Leitner.

16) Update Arturo Borrero's email address in all source code headers.
