mainlining shenanigans

REJECT statement can be only used in INPUT, FORWARD and OUTPUT chains. This patch adds support of REJECT, both icmp and tcp reset, at PREROUTING stage. The need for this patch comes from the requirement of some forwarding devices to reject traffic before the natting and routing decisions. The main use case is to be able to send a graceful termination to legitimate clients that, under any circumstances, the NATed endpoints are not available. This option allows clients to decide either to perform a reconnection or manage the error in their side, instead of just dropping the connection and let them die due to timeout. It is supported ipv4, ipv6 and inet families for nft infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Laura Garcia Liebana <nevola@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> |

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 Restructured Text 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.
