delay hook registration until the table is being requested inside a
namespace.
Historically, a particular table (iptables mangle, ip6tables filter, etc)
was registered on module load.
When netns support was added to iptables only the ip/ip6tables ruleset was
made namespace aware, not the actual hook points.
This means f.e. that when ipt_filter table/module is loaded on a system,
then each namespace on that system has an (empty) iptables filter ruleset.
In other words, if a namespace sends a packet, such skb is 'caught' by
netfilter machinery and fed to hooking points for that table (i.e. INPUT,
FORWARD, etc).
Thanks to Eric Biederman, hooks are no longer global, but per namespace.
This means that we can avoid allocation of empty ruleset in a namespace and
defer hook registration until we need the functionality.
We register a tables hook entry points ONLY in the initial namespace.
When an iptables get/setockopt is issued inside a given namespace, we check
if the table is found in the per-namespace list.
If not, we attempt to find it in the initial namespace, and, if found,
create an empty default table in the requesting namespace and register the
needed hooks.
Hook points are destroyed only once namespace is deleted, there is no
'usage count' (it makes no sense since there is no 'remove table' operation
in xtables api).

This change prepares for upcoming on-demand xtables hook registration.
We change the protoypes of the register/unregister functions.
A followup patch will then add nf_hook_register/unregister calls
to the iptables one.
Once a hook is registered packets will be picked up, so all assignments
of the form
net->ipv4.iptable_$table = new_table
have to be moved to ip(6)t_register_table, else we can see NULL
net->ipv4.iptable_$table later.
This patch doesn't change functionality; without this the actual change
simply gets too big.

The exit path will do some final updates to the VM of an exiting process
to inform others of the fact that the process is going away.
That happens, for example, for robust futex state cleanup, but also if
the parent has asked for a TID update when the process exits (we clear
the child tid field in user space).
However, at the time we do those final VM accesses, we've already
stopped accepting signals, so the usual "stop waiting for userfaults on
signal" code in fs/userfaultfd.c no longer works, and the process can
become an unkillable zombie waiting for something that will never
happen.
To solve this, just make handle_userfault() abort any user fault
handling if we're already in the exit path past the signal handling
state being dead (marked by PF_EXITING).
This VM special case is pretty ugly, and it is possible that we should
look at finalizing signals later (or move the VM final accesses
earlier). But in the meantime this is a fairly minimally intrusive fix.

I love this fix. Not only does it fix the race in the dentry type

B.A.T.M.A.N. V. Its implementation started quite some years ago,
but due to the big changes being introduced it took a while to be
discussed, designed, worked, re-worked, tested and debugged (well,
we're never done with the latest). The entire operation has
basically been a team work involving all the core contributors
together with other people interested in the project.
The new protocol is divided into two main subcomponents, called
respectively ELP and OGMv2. The former is in charge of
dealing with the neighbour discovery and link quality estimation,
while the latter implements the algorithm that spreads the
metrics around the network and computes optimal paths.
The biggest change introduced with B.A.T.M.A.N. V is the new
metric: the protocol won't rely on packet loss anymore, but it
will use the estimated throughput extracted directly from the
wifi driver (when available) by querying cfg80211.
Batman-adv will also send some unicast probing packets when
an interface is not used for payload traffic to make sure that
such values are current.
The new protocol can be compiled-in or not like other
features we have and when selected will pull in CFG80211 as
dependency for the reason described above.
Thanks to the big work brought up in the past by Marek Lindner,
batman-adv can easily deal several protocol implementations,
therefore compiling in this new version does not exclude the
older.
This means that the user is offered the option to choose
the protocol when creating the mesh interface (default is the
old one to keep backward compatibility).
Along with the protocol there are some sysfs knobs that are
introduced to fine tune some of its behaviours, but users
are recommended to keep the default values unless they know
what they are doing.
The last patch is about advertising our own patchwork platform
(thanks to Sven Eckelmann for having set that up!) in the
MAINTAINERS file.

====================
batman-adv 20160229
this is our (hopefully) latest batch of patches intended for net-next.
With this patchset we finally introduce B.A.T.M.A.N. V: the latest
version of our routing protocol.
Technical documentation describing the protocol in more detail can
be found in our wiki[1][2][3][4].
For what concerns this pull request, you can find the high level
description right below.

With this patchset we finally introduce our new routing protocol:
B.A.T.M.A.N. V. Its implementation started quite some years ago,
but due to the big changes being introduced it took a while to be
discussed, designed, worked, re-worked, tested and debugged (well,
we're never done with the latest). The entire operation has
basically been a team work involving all the core contributors
together with other people interested in the project.
The new protocol is divided into two main subcomponents, called
respectively ELP and OGMv2. The former is in charge of
dealing with the neighbour discovery and link quality estimation,
while the latter implements the algorithm that spreads the
metrics around the network and computes optimal paths.
The biggest change introduced with B.A.T.M.A.N. V is the new
metric: the protocol won't rely on packet loss anymore, but it
will use the estimated throughput extracted directly from the
wifi driver (when available) by querying cfg80211.
Batman-adv will also send some unicast probing packets when
an interface is not used for payload traffic to make sure that
such values are current.
The new protocol can be compiled-in or not like other
features we have and when selected will pull in CFG80211 as
dependency for the reason described above.
Thanks to the big work brought up in the past by Marek Lindner,
batman-adv can easily deal several protocol implementations,
therefore compiling in this new version does not exclude the
older.
This means that the user is offered the option to choose
the protocol when creating the mesh interface (default is the
old one to keep backward compatibility).
Along with the protocol there are some sysfs knobs that are
introduced to fine tune some of its behaviours, but users
are recommended to keep the default values unless they know
what they are doing.
The last patch is about advertising our own patchwork platform
(thanks to Sven Eckelmann for having set that up!) in the
MAINTAINERS file.

Since offset is zero, it's not necessary to use set function.
