Add the ability to send out RFC-3948 NAT keepalives from the xfrm stack. To use, Userspace sets an XFRM_NAT_KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL integer property when creating XFRM outbound states which denotes the number of seconds between keepalive messages. Keepalive messages are sent from a per net delayed work which iterates over the xfrm states. The logic is guarded by the xfrm state spinlock due to the xfrm state walk iterator. Possible future enhancements: - Adding counters to keep track of sent keepalives. - deduplicate NAT keepalives between states sharing the same nat keepalive parameters. - provisioning hardware offloads for devices capable of implementing this. - revise xfrm state list to use an rcu list in order to avoid running this under spinlock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
