There is added a single callback for the l3 proto helper.  The two
callbacks for the l4 protos are necessary because of the general
structure of a ctnetlink event, which is in short:

 CTA_TUPLE_ORIG
   <l3/l4-proto-attributes>
 CTA_TUPLE_REPLY
   <l3/l4-proto-attributes>
 CTA_ID
 ...
 CTA_PROTOINFO
   <l4-proto-attributes>
 CTA_TUPLE_MASTER
   <l3/l4-proto-attributes>

Therefore the formular is

 size := sizeof(generic-nlas) + 3 * sizeof(tuple_nlas) + sizeof(protoinfo_nlas)

Some of the NLAs are optional, e. g. CTA_TUPLE_MASTER, which is only
set if it's an expected connection.  But the number of optional NLAs is
small enough to prevent netlink_trim() from reallocating if calculated
properly.

We use RCU to defer freeing of conntrack structures. In DOS situation, RCU might
accumulate about 10.000 elements per CPU in its internal queues. To get accurate
conntrack counts (at the expense of slightly more RAM used), we might consider
conntrack counter not taking into account "about to be freed elements, waiting
in RCU queues". We thus decrement it in nf_conntrack_free(), not in the RCU
callback.

This patchs adds support of modification of the used logger via sysctl.
It can be used to change the logger to module that can not use the bind
operation (ipt_LOG and ipt_ULOG). For this purpose, it creates a
directory /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log which contains a file
per-protocol. The content of the file is the name current logger (NONE if
not set) and a logger can be setup by simply echoing its name to the file.
By echoing "NONE" to a /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/PROTO file, the
logger corresponding to this PROTO is set to NULL.

This patch adds the iptables cluster match. This match can be used
to deploy gateway and back-end load-sharing clusters. The cluster
can be composed of 32 nodes maximum (although I have only tested
this with two nodes, so I cannot tell what is the real scalability
limit of this solution in terms of cluster nodes).

Assuming that all the nodes see all packets (see below for an
example on how to do that if your switch does not allow this), the
cluster match decides if this node has to handle a packet given:

	(jhash(source IP) % total_nodes) & node_mask

For related connections, the master conntrack is used. The following
is an example of its use to deploy a gateway cluster composed of two
nodes (where this is the node 1):

iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth1 -m cluster \
	--cluster-total-nodes 2 --cluster-local-node 1 \
	--cluster-proc-name eth1 -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff
iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth1 \
	-m mark ! --mark 0xffff -j DROP
iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth2 -m cluster \
	--cluster-total-nodes 2 --cluster-local-node 1 \
	--cluster-proc-name eth2 -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff
iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth2 \
	-m mark ! --mark 0xffff -j DROP

And the following commands to make all nodes see the same packets:

ip maddr add 01:00:5e:00:01:01 dev eth1
ip maddr add 01:00:5e:00:01:02 dev eth2
arptables -I OUTPUT -o eth1 --h-length 6 \
	-j mangle --mangle-mac-s 01:00:5e:00:01:01
arptables -I INPUT -i eth1 --h-length 6 \
	--destination-mac 01:00:5e:00:01:01 \
	-j mangle --mangle-mac-d 00:zz:yy:xx:5a:27
arptables -I OUTPUT -o eth2 --h-length 6 \
	-j mangle --mangle-mac-s 01:00:5e:00:01:02
arptables -I INPUT -i eth2 --h-length 6 \
	--destination-mac 01:00:5e:00:01:02 \
	-j mangle --mangle-mac-d 00:zz:yy:xx:5a:27

In the case of TCP connections, pickup facility has to be disabled
to avoid marking TCP ACK packets coming in the reply direction as
valid.

BTW, some final notes:

 * This match mangles the skbuff pkt_type in case that it detects
PACKET_MULTICAST for a non-multicast address. This may be done in
a PKTTYPE target for this sole purpose.
 * This match supersedes the CLUSTERIP target.

This patch modifies nf_log to use a linked list of loggers for each
protocol. This list of loggers is read and write protected with a
mutex.

This patch separates registration and binding. To be used as
logging module, a module has to register calling nf_log_register()
and to bind to a protocol it has to call nf_log_bind_pf().
This patch also converts the logging modules to the new API. For nfnetlink_log,
it simply switchs call to register functions to call to bind function and
adds a call to nf_log_register() during init. For other modules, it just
remove a const flag from the logger structure and replace it with a
__read_mostly.

The reader/writer lock in ip_tables is acquired in the critical path of
processing packets and is one of the reasons just loading iptables can cause
a 20% performance loss. The rwlock serves two functions:

1) it prevents changes to table state (xt_replace) while table is in use.
   This is now handled by doing rcu on the xt_table. When table is
   replaced, the new table(s) are put in and the old one table(s) are freed
   after RCU period.

2) it provides synchronization when accesing the counter values.
   This is now handled by swapping in new table_info entries for each cpu
   then summing the old values, and putting the result back onto one
   cpu.  On a busy system it may cause sampling to occur at different
   times on each cpu, but no packet/byte counts are lost in the process.
