As Henrik Nordstrom pointed out, all our efforts with "split endian" (i.e.
host byte order tags, net byte order values) are useless, unless a parser
can determine whether an attribute is nested or not.
This patch steals the highest bit of nfattr.nfa_type to indicate whether
the data payload contains a nested nfattr (1) or not (0).
This will break userspace compatibility, but luckily no kernel with
nfnetlink was released so far.

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

I've found the problem in general. It affects any 64-bit
architecture. The problem occurs when you change the system time.
Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base. You then wind the clock back
by a day. From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.
In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.
When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

htonll() is nothing else than cpu_to_be64(), so we'd rather call the

This adds EEXIST to distinguish between the following return values:
0: nobody was registered, registration successful
EEXIST: the exact same handler was already registered, no registration
required
EBUSY: somebody else is registered, registration unsuccessful.

This patch adds a /proc/net/netfilter/nf_queue file, similar to the
recently-added /proc/net/netfilter/nf_log. It indicates which queue
handler is registered to which protocol family. This is useful since
there are now multiple queue handlers in the treee (ip[6]_queue,
nfnetlink_queue).

This patch adds support for passing the real 'physical' device ifindex
down to userspace via nfnetlink_log and nfnetlink_queue.
This feature basically obsoletes net/bridge/netfilter/ebt_ulog.c, and
it is likely ebt_ulog.c will die with one of the next couple of
patches.

This patch doesn't introduce any code changes, but merely splits the
core netfilter code into four separate files. It also moves it from
it's old location in net/core/ to the recently-created net/netfilter/
directory.

1) memset return parameter 'cda' (nfattr pointer array) only on success
2) a message without attributes and just a 'struct nfgenmsg' is valid,
don't return -EINVAL
3) use likely() and unlikely() where apropriate

Prior to this patch, every nfnetlink subsystem had to specify it's
attribute count. However, in reality the attribute count depends on
the message type within the subsystem, not the subsystem itself. This
patch moves 'attr_count' from 'struct nfnetlink_subsys' into
nfnl_callback to fix this.

This is a generic (layer3 independent) version of what ipt_ULOG is already
doing for IPv4 today. ipt_ULOG, ebt_ulog and finally also ip[6]t_LOG will
be deprecated by this mechanism in the long term.

Add ctnetlink subsystem for userspace-access to ip_conntrack table.
This allows reading and updating of existing entries, as well as
creating new ones (and new expect's) via nfnetlink.
Please note the 'strange' byte order: nfattr (tag+length) are in host
byte order, while the payload is always guaranteed to be in network
byte order. This allows a simple userspace process to encapsulate netlink
messages into arch-independent udp packets by just processing/swapping the
headers and not knowing anything about the actual payload.

transport layer for all userspace communication of the new upcoming

the mythical pkttables ;)
