This patch adds a new flag that signals the kernel to update layer 4
checksum if the packet field belongs to the layer 4 pseudoheader. This
implicitly provides stateless NAT 1:1 that is useful under very specific
usecases.
Since rules mangling layer 3 fields that are part of the pseudoheader
may potentially convey any layer 4 packet, we have to deal with the
layer 4 checksum adjustment using protocol specific code.
This patch adds support for TCP, UDP and ICMPv6, since they include the
pseudoheader in the layer 4 checksum calculation. ICMP doesn't, so we
can skip it.

nf_defrag modules for ipv4 and ipv6 export an empty stub function.
Any module that needs the defragmentation hooks registered simply 'calls'
this empty function to create a phony module dependency -- modprobe will
then load the defrag module too.
This extends netfilter ipv4/ipv6 defragmentation modules to delay the hook
registration until the functionality is requested within a network namespace
instead of module load time for all namespaces.
Hooks are only un-registered on module unload or when a namespace that used
such defrag functionality exits.
We have to use struct net for this as the register hooks can be called
before netns initialization here from the ipv4/ipv6 conntrack module
init path.
There is no unregister functionality support, defrag will always be
active once it was requested inside a net namespace.
The reason is that defrag has impact on nft and iptables rulesets
(without defrag we might see framents).

This switch (default on) can be used to disable automatic registration
of connection tracking functionality in newly created network
namespaces.
This means that when net namespace goes down (or the tracker protocol
module is unloaded) we *might* have to unregister the hooks.
We can either add another per-netns variable that tells if
the hooks got registered by default, or, alternatively, just call
the protocol _put() function and have the callee deal with a possible
'extra' put() operation that doesn't pair with a get() one.
This uses the latter approach, i.e. a put() without a get has no effect.
Conntrack is still enabled automatically regardless of the new sysctl
setting if the new net namespace requires connection tracking, e.g. when
NAT rules are created.

This makes use of nf_ct_netns_get/put added in previous patch.
We add get/put functions to nf_conntrack_l3proto structure, ipv4 and ipv6
then implement use-count to track how many users (nft or xtables modules)
have a dependency on ipv4 and/or ipv6 connection tracking functionality.
When count reaches zero, the hooks are unregistered.
This delays activation of connection tracking inside a namespace until
stateful firewall rule or nat rule gets added.
This patch breaks backwards compatibility in the sense that connection
tracking won't be active anymore when the protocol tracker module is
loaded. This breaks e.g. setups that ctnetlink for flow accounting and
the like, without any '-m conntrack' packet filter rules.

MASQUERADE, S/DNAT and REDIRECT already call functions that depend on the
conntrack module.
However, since the conntrack hooks are now registered in a lazy fashion
(i.e., only when needed) a symbol reference is not enough.
Thus, when something is added to a nat table, make sure that it will see
packets by calling nf_ct_netns_get() which will register the conntrack
hooks in the current netns.
An alternative would be to add these dependencies to the NAT table.
However, that has problems when using non-modular builds -- we might
register e.g. ipv6 conntrack before its initcall has run, leading to NULL
deref crashes since its per-netns storage has not yet been allocated.
Adding the dependency in the modules instead has the advantage that nat
table also does not register its hooks until rules are added.

ipv4: fib: Replay events when registering FIB notifier
Ido says:
In kernel 4.9 the switchdev-specific FIB offload mechanism was replaced
by a new FIB notification chain to which modules could register in order
to be notified about the addition and deletion of FIB entries. The
motivation for this change was that switchdev drivers need to be able to
reflect the entire FIB table and not only FIBs configured on top of the
port netdevs themselves. This is useful in case of in-band management.
The fundamental problem with this approach is that upon registration
listeners lose all the information previously sent in the chain and
thus have an incomplete view of the FIB tables, which can result in
packet loss. This patchset fixes that by dumping the FIB tables and
replaying notifications previously sent in the chain for the registered
notification block.
The entire dump process is done under RCU and thus the FIB notification
chain is converted to be atomic. The listeners are modified accordingly.
This is done in the first eight patches.
The ninth patch adds a change sequence counter to ensure the integrity
of the FIB dump. The last patch adds the dump itself to the FIB chain
registration function and modifies existing listeners to pass a callback
to be executed in case dump was inconsistent.
---
v3->v4:
- Register the notification block after the dump and protect it using
the change sequence counter (Hannes Frederic Sowa).
- Since we now integrate the dump into the registration function, drop
the sysctl to set maximum number of retries and instead set it to a
fixed number. Lets see if it's really a problem before adding something
we can never remove.
- For the same reason, dump FIB tables for all net namespaces.
- Add a comment regarding guarantees provided by mutex semantics.
v2->v3:
- Add sysctl to set the number of FIB dump retries (Hannes Frederic Sowa).
- Read the sequence counter under RTNL to ensure synchronization
between the dump process and other processes changing the routing
tables (Hannes Frederic Sowa).
- Pass a callback to the dump function to be executed prior to a retry.
- Limit the dump to a single net namespace.
v1->v2:
- Add a sequence counter to ensure the integrity of the FIB dump
(David S. Miller, Hannes Frederic Sowa).
- Protect notifications from re-ordering in listeners by using an
ordered workqueue (Hannes Frederic Sowa).
- Introduce fib_info_hold() (Jiri Pirko).
- Relieve rocker from the need to invoke the FIB dump by registering
to the FIB notification chain prior to ports creation.

Commit b90eb75494 ("fib: introduce FIB notification infrastructure")
introduced a new notification chain to notify listeners (f.e., switchdev
drivers) about addition and deletion of routes.
However, upon registration to the chain the FIB tables can already be
populated, which means potential listeners will have an incomplete view
of the tables.
Solve that by dumping the FIB tables and replaying the events to the
passed notification block. The dump itself is done using RCU in order
not to starve consumers that need RTNL to make progress.
The integrity of the dump is ensured by reading the FIB change sequence
counter before and after the dump under RTNL. This allows us to avoid
the problematic situation in which the dumping process sends a ENTRY_ADD
notification following ENTRY_DEL generated by another process holding
RTNL.
Callers of the registration function may pass a callback that is
executed in case the dump was inconsistent with current FIB tables.
The number of retries until a consistent dump is achieved is set to a
fixed number to prevent callers from looping for long periods of time.
In case current limit proves to be problematic in the future, it can be
easily converted to be configurable using a sysctl.

The next patch will enable listeners of the FIB notification chain to
request a dump of the FIB tables. However, since RTNL isn't taken during
the dump, it's possible for the FIB tables to change mid-dump, which
will result in inconsistency between the listener's table and the
kernel's.
Allow listeners to know about changes that occurred mid-dump, by adding
a change sequence counter to each net namespace. The counter is
incremented just before a notification is sent in the FIB chain.

Deferring the operation is valid because the upper layers always assume
