2e3075a2c4 [NETFILTER]: Extend nf_inet_addr with in{,6}_addr
Extend union nf_inet_addr with struct in_addr and in6_addr. Useful
because a lot of in-kernel IPv4 and IPv6 functions use
in_addr/in6_addr.

b3fd3ffe39 [NETFILTER]: Use the ctl paths instead of hand-made analogue
The conntracks subsystem has a similar infrastructure
to maintain ctl_paths, but since we already have it
on the generic level, I think it's OK to switch to
using it.

So, basically, this patch just replaces the ctl_table-s
with ctl_path-s, nf_register_sysctl_table with
register_sysctl_paths() and removes no longer needed code.

After this the net/netfilter/nf_sysctl.c file contains
the paths only.

643a2c15a4 [NETFILTER]: Introduce nf_inet_address
A few netfilter modules provide their own union of IPv4 and IPv6
address storage. Will unify that in this patch series.

(1/4): Rename union nf_conntrack_address to union nf_inet_addr and
move it to x_tables.h.

02f014d888 [NETFILTER]: nf_queue: move list_head/skb/id to struct nf_info
Move common fields for queue management to struct nf_info and rename it
to struct nf_queue_entry. The avoids one allocation/free per packet and
simplifies the code a bit.

Alternatively we could add some private room at the tail, but since
all current users use identical structs this seems easier.

Remove the data pointer from struct nf_queue_handler. It has never been used

1841a4c7ae [NETFILTER]: nf_ct_h323: remove ipv6 module dependency
nf_conntrack_h323 needs ip6_route_output for the call forwarding filter.
Add a ->route function to nf_afinfo and use that to avoid pulling in the
ipv6 module.

Fix the #ifdef for the IPv6 code while I'm at it - the IPv6 support is
only needed when IPv6 conntrack is enabled.

16fcec35e7 [NETFILTER]: Fix/improve deadlock condition on module removal netfilter
So I've had a deadlock reported to me.  I've found that the sequence of
events goes like this:

1) process A (modprobe) runs to remove ip_tables.ko

2) process B (iptables-restore) runs and calls setsockopt on a netfilter socket,
increasing the ip_tables socket_ops use count

3) process A acquires a file lock on the file ip_tables.ko, calls remove_module
in the kernel, which in turn executes the ip_tables module cleanup routine,
which calls nf_unregister_sockopt

4) nf_unregister_sockopt, seeing that the use count is non-zero, puts the
calling process into uninterruptible sleep, expecting the process using the
socket option code to wake it up when it exits the kernel

4) the user of the socket option code (process B) in do_ipt_get_ctl, calls
ipt_find_table_lock, which in this case calls request_module to load
ip_tables_nat.ko

5) request_module forks a copy of modprobe (process C) to load the module and
blocks until modprobe exits.

6) Process C. forked by request_module process the dependencies of
ip_tables_nat.ko, of which ip_tables.ko is one.

7) Process C attempts to lock the request module and all its dependencies, it
blocks when it attempts to lock ip_tables.ko (which was previously locked in
step 3)

Theres not really any great permanent solution to this that I can see, but I've
developed a two part solution that corrects the problem

Part 1) Modifies the nf_sockopt registration code so that, instead of using a
use counter internal to the nf_sockopt_ops structure, we instead use a pointer
to the registering modules owner to do module reference counting when nf_sockopt
calls a modules set/get routine.  This prevents the deadlock by preventing set 4
from happening.

Part 2) Enhances the modprobe utilty so that by default it preforms non-blocking
remove operations (the same way rmmod does), and add an option to explicity
request blocking operation.  So if you select blocking operation in modprobe you
can still cause the above deadlock, but only if you explicity try (and since
root can do any old stupid thing it would like....  :)  ).
