Netfilter updates for net-next
The following batch contains Netfilter updates for net-next:
0) Add sanity check for maximum encapsulations in bridge vlan,
reported by the new AI robot.
1) Move the flowtable path discovery code to its own file, the
nft_flow_offload.c mixes the nf_tables evaluation with the path
discovery logic, just split this in two for clarity.
2) Consolidate flowtable xmit path by using dev_queue_xmit() and the
real device behind the layer 2 vlan/pppoe device. This allows to
inline encapsulation. After this update, hw_ifidx can be removed
since both ifidx and hw_ifidx now point to the same device.
3) Support for IPIP encapsulation in the flowtable, extend selftest
to cover for this new layer 3 offload, from Lorenzo Bianconi.
4) Push down the skb into the conncount API to fix duplicates in the
conncount list for packets with non-confirmed conntrack entries,
this is due to an optimization introduced in d265929930
("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC").
From Fernando Fernandez Mancera.
5) In conncount, disable BH when performing garbage collection
to consolidate existing behaviour in the conncount API, also
from Fernando.
6) A matching packet with a confirmed conntrack invokes GC if
conncount reaches the limit in an attempt to release slots.
This allows the existing extensions to be used for real conntrack
counting, not just limiting new connections, from Fernando.
7) Support for updating ct count objects in nf_tables, from Fernando.
8) Extend nft_flowtables.sh selftest to send IPv6 TCP traffic,
from Lorenzo Bianconi.
9) Fixes for UAPI kernel-doc documentation, from Randy Dunlap.
