====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next,
most relevantly they are:
* cleanup to remove double semicolon from stephen hemminger.
* calm down sparse warning in xt_ipcomp, from Fan Du.
* nf_ct_labels support for nf_tables, from Florian Westphal.
* new macros to simplify rcu dereferences in the scope of nfnetlink
and nf_tables, from Patrick McHardy.
* Accept queue and drop (including reason for drop) to verdict
parsing in nf_tables, also from Patrick.
* Remove unused random seed initialization in nfnetlink_log, from
Florian Westphal.
* Allow to attach user-specific information to nf_tables rules, useful
to attach user comments to rule, from me.
* Return errors in ipset according to the manpage documentation, from
Jozsef Kadlecsik.
* Fix coccinelle warnings related to incorrect bool type usage for ipset,
from Fengguang Wu.
* Add hash:ip,mark set type to ipset, from Vytas Dauksa.
* Fix message for each spotted by ipset for each netns that is created,
from Ilia Mirkin.
* Add forceadd option to ipset, which evicts a random entry from the set
if it becomes full, from Josh Hunt.
* Minor IPVS cleanups and fixes from Andi Kleen and Tingwei Liu.
* Improve conntrack scalability by removing a central spinlock, original
work from Eric Dumazet. Jesper Dangaard Brouer took them over to address
remaining issues. Several patches to prepare this change come in first
place.
* Rework nft_hash to resolve bugs (leaking chain, missing rcu synchronization
on element removal, etc. from Patrick McHardy.
* Restore context in the rule deletion path, as we now release rule objects
synchronously, from Patrick McHardy. This gets back event notification for
anonymous sets.
* Fix NAT family validation in nft_nat, also from Patrick.
* Improve scalability of xt_connlimit by using an array of spinlocks and
by introducing a rb-tree of hashtables for faster lookup of accounted
objects per network. This patch was preceded by several patches and
refactorizations to accomodate this change including the use of kmem_cache,
from Florian Westphal.
