[ Upstream commit 0d2c96af797ba149e559c5875c0151384ab6dd14 ]

Userspace might bogusly sent NFT_DATA_VERDICT in several netlink
attributes that assume NFT_DATA_VALUE. Moreover, make sure that error
path invokes nft_data_release() to decrement the reference count on the
chain object.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: add direct calls for all builtin expressions</title>

<id>10870dd89e956d911d1a39474c0bf4a18c72cffc</id>
<content type='text'>
With CONFIG_RETPOLINE its faster to add an if (ptr == &amp;foo_func)
check and and use direct calls for all the built-in expressions.

~15% improvement in pathological cases.

checkpatch doesn't like the X macro due to the embedded return statement,
but the macro has a very limited scope so I don't think its a problem.

I would like to avoid bugs of the form
  If (e-&gt;ops-&gt;eval == (unsigned long)nft_foo_eval)
	 nft_bar_eval();

and open-coded if ()/else if()/else cascade, thus the macro.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: revisit chain/object refcounting from elements</title>

Andreas reports that the following incremental update using our commit
protocol doesn't work.

 # nft -f incremental-update.nft
 delete element ip filter client_to_any { 10.180.86.22 : goto CIn_1 }
 delete chain ip filter CIn_1
 ... Error: Could not process rule: Device or resource busy

The existing code is not well-integrated into the commit phase protocol,
since element deletions do not result in refcount decrement from the
preparation phase. This results in bogus EBUSY errors like the one
above.

Two new functions come with this patch:

* nft_set_elem_activate() function is used from the abort path, to
  restore the set element refcounting on objects that occurred from
  the preparation phase.

* nft_set_elem_deactivate() that is called from nft_del_setelem() to
  decrement set element refcounting on objects from the preparation
  phase in the commit protocol.

The nft_data_uninit() has been renamed to nft_data_release() since this
function does not uninitialize any data store in the data register,
instead just releases the references to objects. Moreover, a new
function nft_data_hold() has been introduced to be used from
nft_set_elem_activate().

Couple conflicts resolved here:

1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the
   RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes
   to support variable sized rings.

2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --&gt; "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix
   overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support
   ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip.

3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the
   stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up
   and reorganized in 'net-next'.

4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in
   'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with
   Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction
   in 'net'.  It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard
   the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against
   tc_skip_sw().

5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some
   unrelated changes in 'net-next'.

6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head()
   bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of
   the same code in 'net-next'.  Since the 'net-next' code no
   longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do
   other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: simplify the basic expressions' init routine</title>

Some basic expressions are built into nf_tables.ko, such as nft_cmp,
nft_lookup, nft_range and so on. But these basic expressions' init
routine is a little ugly, too many goto errX labels, and we forget
to call nft_range_module_exit in the exit routine, although it is
harmless.

Acctually, the init and exit routines of these basic expressions
are same, i.e. do nft_register_expr in the init routine and do
nft_unregister_expr in the exit routine.

So it's better to arrange them into an array and deal with them
together.

The newly added nft_range_eval() function handles the two possible
nft range operations, but as the compiler warning points out,
any unexpected value would lead to the 'mismatch' variable being
used without being initialized:

net/netfilter/nft_range.c: In function 'nft_range_eval':
net/netfilter/nft_range.c:45:5: error: 'mismatch' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This removes the variable in question and instead moves the
condition into the switch itself, which is potentially more
efficient than adding a bogus 'default' clause as in my
first approach, and is nicer than using the 'uninitialized_var'
macro.

Inverse ranges != [a,b] are not currently possible because rules are
composites of &amp;&amp; operations, and we need to express this:

	data &lt; a || data &gt; b

This patch adds a new range expression. Positive ranges can be already
through two cmp expressions:

	cmp(sreg, data, &gt;=)
	cmp(sreg, data, &lt;=)

This new range expression provides an alternative way to express this.
