Currently, nf_flow_table_offload_add/del_cb are exported by nf_flow_table
module, therefore modules using them will have hard-dependency
on nf_flow_table and will require loading it all the time.
This can lead to an unnecessary overhead on systems that do not
use this API.
To relax the hard-dependency between the modules, we unexport these
functions and make them static inline.

2) Generalise the flowtable hook parser to take a hook list.
3) Pass a hook list to the flowtable hook registration/unregistration.
4) Add a helper function to release the flowtable hook list.
5) Update the flowtable event notifier to pass a flowtable hook list.
6) Allow users to add new devices to an existing flowtables.

Conntrack dump does not support kernel side filtering (only get exists,
but it returns only one entry. And user has to give a full valid tuple)
It means that userspace has to implement filtering after receiving many
irrelevant entries, consuming resources (conntrack table is sometimes
very huge, much more than a routing table for example).
This patch adds filtering in kernel side. To achieve this goal, we:
* Add a new CTA_FILTER netlink attributes, actually a flag list to
parametize filtering
* Convert some *nlattr_to_tuple() functions, to allow a partial parsing
of CTA_TUPLE_ORIG and CTA_TUPLE_REPLY (so nf_conntrack_tuple it not
fully set)
Filtering is now possible on:
* IP SRC/DST values
* Ports for TCP and UDP flows
* IMCP(v6) codes types and IDs
Filtering is done as an "AND" operator. For example, when flags
PROTO_SRC_PORT, PROTO_NUM and IP_SRC are sets, only entries matching all
values are dumped.
Changes since v1:
Set NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED in nlm flags if entries are filtered
Changes since v2:
Move several constants to nf_internals.h
Move a fix on netlink values check in a separate patch

Gc step can queue offloaded flow del work or stats work.
Those work items can race each other and a flow could be freed
before the stats work is executed and querying it.
To avoid that, add a pending bit that if a work exists for a flow
don't queue another work for it.
This will also avoid adding multiple stats works in case stats work
didn't complete but gc step started again.

If the AVX2 set is available, we can exploit the repetitive
characteristic of this algorithm to provide a fast, vectorised
version by using 256-bit wide AVX2 operations for bucket loads and
bitwise intersections.
In most cases, this implementation consistently outperforms rbtree
set instances despite the fact they are configured to use a given,
single, ranged data type out of the ones used for performance
measurements by the nft_concat_range.sh kselftest.
That script, injecting packets directly on the ingoing device path
with pktgen, reports, averaged over five runs on a single AMD Epyc
7402 thread (3.35GHz, 768 KiB L1D$, 12 MiB L2$), the figures below.
CONFIG_RETPOLINE was not set here.
Note that this is not a fair comparison over hash and rbtree set
types: non-ranged entries (used to have a reference for hash types)
would be matched faster than this, and matching on a single field
only (which is the case for rbtree) is also significantly faster.
However, it's not possible at the moment to choose this set type
for non-ranged entries, and the current implementation also needs
a few minor adjustments in order to match on less than two fields.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This new set type allows for intervals in concatenated fields,
which are expressed in the usual way, that is, simple byte
concatenation with padding to 32 bits for single fields, and
given as ranges by specifying start and end elements containing,
each, the full concatenation of start and end values for the
single fields.
Ranges are expanded to composing netmasks, for each field: these
are inserted as rules in per-field lookup tables. Bits to be
classified are divided in 4-bit groups, and for each group, the
lookup table contains 4^2 buckets, representing all the possible
values of a bit group. This approach was inspired by the Grouper
algorithm:
http://www.cse.usf.edu/~ligatti/projects/grouper/
Matching is performed by a sequence of AND operations between
bucket values, with buckets selected according to the value of
packet bits, for each group. The result of this sequence tells
us which rules matched for a given field.
In order to concatenate several ranged fields, per-field rules
are mapped using mapping arrays, one per field, that specify
which rules should be considered while matching the next field.
The mapping array for the last field contains a reference to
the element originally inserted.
The notes in nft_set_pipapo.c cover the algorithm in deeper
detail.
A pure hash-based approach is of no use here, as ranges need
to be classified. An implementation based on "proxying" the
existing red-black tree set type, creating a tree for each
field, was considered, but deemed impractical due to the fact
that elements would need to be shared between trees, at least
as long as we want to keep UAPI changes to a minimum.
A stand-alone implementation of this algorithm is available at:
https://pipapo.lameexcu.se
together with notes about possible future optimisations
(in pipapo.c).
This algorithm was designed with data locality in mind, and can
be highly optimised for SIMD instruction sets, as the bulk of
the matching work is done with repetitive, simple bitwise
operations.
At this point, without further optimisations, nft_concat_range.sh

Introduce a new nested netlink attribute, NFTA_SET_DESC_CONCAT, used
to specify the length of each field in a set concatenation.
This allows set implementations to support concatenation of multiple
ranged items, as they can divide the input key into matching data for
every single field. Such set implementations would be selected as
they specify support for NFT_SET_INTERVAL and allow desc->field_count
to be greater than one. Explicitly disallow this for nft_set_rbtree.
In order to specify the interval for a set entry, userspace would
include in NFTA_SET_DESC_CONCAT attributes field lengths, and pass
range endpoints as two separate keys, represented by attributes
NFTA_SET_ELEM_KEY and NFTA_SET_ELEM_KEY_END.
While at it, export the number of 32-bit registers available for
packet matching, as nftables will need this to know the maximum
number of field lengths that can be specified.
For example, "packets with an IPv4 address between 192.0.2.0 and
192.0.2.42, with destination port between 22 and 25", can be
expressed as two concatenated elements:
NFTA_SET_ELEM_KEY: 192.0.2.0 . 22
NFTA_SET_ELEM_KEY_END: 192.0.2.42 . 25
and NFTA_SET_DESC_CONCAT attribute would contain:

NFTA_SET_FIELD_LEN: 4
