6442f1cf89 [NETFILTER]: conntrack: don't call helpers for related ICMP messages
None of the existing helpers expects to get called for related ICMP
packets and some even drop them if they can't parse them.

65b4b4e81a [NETFILTER]: Rename init functions.
Every netfilter module uses `init' for its module_init() function and
`fini' or `cleanup' for its module_exit() function.

Problem is, this creates uninformative initcall_debug output and makes
ctags rather useless.

So go through and rename them all to $(filename)_init and
$(filename)_fini.

2e4e6a17af [NETFILTER] x_tables: Abstraction layer for {ip,ip6,arp}_tables
This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables.  In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.

o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
  wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
  are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
  to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
  include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
  around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers

Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

babbdb1a18 [NETFILTER]: Fix timeout sysctls on big-endian 64bit architectures
The connection tracking timeout variables are unsigned long, but
proc_dointvec_jiffies is used with sizeof(unsigned int) in the sysctl
tables. Since there is no proc_doulongvec_jiffies function, change the

1bd9bef6f9 [NETFILTER]: Call POST_ROUTING hook before fragmentation
Call POST_ROUTING hook before fragmentation to get rid of the okfn use
in ip_refrag and save the useless fragmentation/defragmentation step
when NAT is used.

The patch introduces one user-visible change, the POSTROUTING chain
in the mangle table gets entire packets, not fragments, which should
simplify use of the MARK and CLASSIFY targets for queueing as a nice
side-effect.

1dfbab5949 [NETFILTER] Fix conntrack event cache deadlock/oops
This patch fixes a number of bugs.  It cannot be reasonably split up in
multiple fixes, since all bugs interact with each other and affect the same
function:

Bug #1:
The event cache code cannot be called while a lock is held.  Therefore, the
call to ip_conntrack_event_cache() within ip_ct_refresh_acct() needs to be
moved outside of the locked section.  This fixes a number of 2.6.14-rcX
oops and deadlock reports.

Bug #2:
We used to call ct_add_counters() for unconfirmed connections without
holding a lock.  Since the add operations are not atomic, we could race
with another CPU.

Bug #3:
ip_ct_refresh_acct() lost REFRESH events in some cases where refresh
(and the corresponding event) are desired, but no accounting shall be
performed.  Both, evenst and accounting implicitly depended on the skb
parameter bein non-null.   We now re-introduce a non-accounting
"ip_ct_refresh()" variant to explicitly state the desired behaviour.

49719eb355 [NETFILTER]: kill __ip_ct_expect_unlink_destroy
The following patch kills __ip_ct_expect_unlink_destroy and export
unlink_expect as ip_ct_unlink_expect. As it was discussed [1], the function
__ip_ct_expect_unlink_destroy is a bit confusing so better do the following
sequence: ip_ct_destroy_expect and ip_conntrack_expect_put.

a86888b925 [NETFILTER]: Fix multiple problems with the conntrack event cache
refcnt underflow: the reference count is decremented when a conntrack
entry is removed from the hash but it is not incremented when entering
new entries.

missing protection of process context against softirq context: all
cache operations need to locally disable softirqs to avoid races.
Additionally the event cache can't be initialized when a packet
enteres the conntrack code but needs to be initialized whenever we
cache an event and the stored conntrack entry doesn't match the
current one.

incorrect flushing of the event cache in ip_ct_iterate_cleanup:
without real locking we can't flush the cache for different CPUs
without incurring races. The cache for different CPUs can only be
flushed when no packets are going through the
code. ip_ct_iterate_cleanup doesn't need to drop all references, so
flushing is moved to the cleanup path.

080774a243 [NETFILTER]: Add ctnetlink subsystem
Add ctnetlink subsystem for userspace-access to ip_conntrack table.
This allows reading and updating of existing entries, as well as
creating new ones (and new expect's) via nfnetlink.

Please note the 'strange' byte order: nfattr (tag+length) are in host
byte order, while the payload is always guaranteed to be in network
byte order.  This allows a simple userspace process to encapsulate netlink
messages into arch-independent udp packets by just processing/swapping the
headers and not knowing anything about the actual payload.

4acdbdbe50 [NETFILTER]: ip_conntrack_expect_related must not free expectation
If a connection tracking helper tells us to expect a connection, and
we're already expecting that connection, we simply free the one they
gave us and return success.

The problem is that NAT helpers (eg. FTP) have to allocate the
expectation first (to see what port is available) then rewrite the
packet.  If that rewrite fails, they try to remove the expectation,
but it was freed in ip_conntrack_expect_related.

This is one example of a larger problem: having registered the
expectation, the pointer is no longer ours to use.  Reference counting
is needed for ctnetlink anyway, so introduce it now.

To have a single "put" path, we need to grab the reference to the
connection on creation, rather than open-coding it in the caller.

b31e5b1bb5 [NETFILTER]: Drop conntrack reference when packet leaves IP
In the event a raw socket is created for sending purposes only, the creator
never bothers to check the socket's receive queue.  But we continue to
add skbs to its queue until it fills up.

Unfortunately, if ip_conntrack is loaded on the box, each skb we add to the
queue potentially holds a reference to a conntrack.  If the user attempts
to unload ip_conntrack, we will spin around forever since the queued skbs
are pinned.

e281e3ac2b [NETFILTER]: Fix NAT sequence number adjustment
The NAT changes in 2.6.11 changed the position where helpers
are called and perform packet mangling. Before 2.6.11, a NAT
helper was called before the packet was NATed and had its
sequence number adjusted. Since 2.6.11, the helpers get packets
with already adjusted sequence numbers.

This breaks sequence number adjustment, adjust_tcp_sequence()
needs the original sequence number to determine whether
a packet was a retransmission and to store it for further
corrections. It can't be reconstructed without more information
than available, so this patch restores the old order by
calling helpers from a new conntrack hook two priorities
below ip_conntrack_confirm() and adjusting the sequence number
from a new NAT hook one priority below ip_conntrack_confirm().

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
