commit 1689f25924ada8fe14a4a82c38925d04994c7142 upstream.

Overflow use refcount checks are not complete.

Add helper function to deal with object reference counter tracking.
Report -EMFILE in case UINT_MAX is reached.

nft_use_dec() splats in case that reference counter underflows,
which should not ever happen.

Add nft_use_inc_restore() and nft_use_dec_restore() which are used
to restore reference counter from error and abort paths.

Use u32 in nft_flowtable and nft_object since helper functions cannot
work on bitfields.

Remove the few early incomplete checks now that the helper functions
are in place and used to check for refcount overflow.

commit c1592a89942e9678f7d9c8030efa777c0d57edab upstream.

Toggle deleted anonymous sets as inactive in the next generation, so
users cannot perform any update on it. Clear the generation bitmask
in case the transaction is aborted.

The following KASAN splat shows a set element deletion for a bound
anonymous set that has been already removed in the same transaction.

[ Upstream commit 4f16d25c68ec844299a4df6ecbb0234eaf88a935 ]

This new function combines the netlink register attribute parser
and the load validation function.

This update requires to replace:

	enum nft_registers      sreg:8;

in many of the expression private areas otherwise compiler complains
with:

	error: cannot take address of bit-field ‘sreg’

when passing the register field as reference.

Set deletion after flush coming in the same batch results in EBUSY. Add
set use counter to track the number of references to this set from
rules. We cannot rely on the list of bindings for this since such list
is still populated from the preparation phase.

Anonymous sets that are bound to rules from the same transaction trigger
a kernel splat from the abort path due to double set list removal and
double free.

This patch updates the logic to search for the transaction that is
responsible for creating the set and disable the set list removal and
release, given the rule is now responsible for this. Lookup is reverse
since the transaction that adds the set is likely to be at the tail of
the list.

Moreover, this patch adds the unbind step to deliver the event from the
commit path.  This should not be done from the worker thread, since we
have no guarantees of in-order delivery to the listener.

This patch removes the assumption that both activate and deactivate
callbacks need to be provided.

Instead of linear search, use rhlist interface to look up the objects.
This fixes rulesets with thousands of named objects (quota, counters and
the like).

We only use a single table for this and consider the address of the
table we're doing the lookup in as a part of the key.

This reduces restore time of a sample ruleset with ~20k named counters
from 37 seconds to 0.8 seconds.
