When doing initial conversion to rhashtable I replaced the bucket
walk with a single rhashtable_lookup_fast().
When moving to rhlist I failed to properly walk the list of identical
tuples, but that is what is needed for this to work correctly.
The table contains the original tuples, so the reply tuples are all
distinct.
We currently decide that mapping is (not) in range only based on the
first entry, but in case its not we need to try the reply tuple of the
next entry until we either find an in-range mapping or we checked
all the entries.
This bug makes nat core attempt collision resolution while it might be
able to use the mapping as-is.

Verify that the length of the socket buffer is sufficient to cover the
nlmsghdr structure before accessing the nlh->nlmsg_len field for further
input sanitization. If the client only supplies 1-3 bytes of data in
sk_buff, then nlh->nlmsg_len remains partially uninitialized and
contains leftover memory from the corresponding kernel allocation.
Operating on such data may result in indeterminate evaluation of the
nlmsg_len < NLMSG_HDRLEN expression.
The bug was discovered by a runtime instrumentation designed to detect
use of uninitialized memory in the kernel. The patch prevents this and
other similar tools (e.g. KMSAN) from flagging this behavior in the future.

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree. This batch contains connection tracking updates for the cleanup
iteration path, patches from Florian Westphal:
X) Skip unconfirmed conntracks in nf_ct_iterate_cleanup_net(), just set
dying bit to let the CPU release them.
X) Add nf_ct_iterate_destroy() to be used on module removal, to kill
conntrack from all namespace.
X) Restart iteration on hashtable resizing, since both may occur at
the same time.
X) Use the new nf_ct_iterate_destroy() to remove conntrack with NAT
mapping on module removal.
X) Use nf_ct_iterate_destroy() to remove conntrack entries helper
module removal, from Liping Zhang.
X) Use nf_ct_iterate_cleanup_net() to remove the timeout extension
if user requests this, also from Liping.
X) Add net_ns_barrier() and use it from FTP helper, so make sure
no concurrent namespace removal happens at the same time while
the helper module is being removed.
X) Use NFPROTO_MAX in layer 3 conntrack protocol array, to reduce
module size. Same thing in nf_tables.
Updates for the nf_tables infrastructure:
X) Prepare usage of the extended ACK reporting infrastructure for
nf_tables.
X) Remove unnecessary forward declaration in nf_tables hash set.
X) Skip set size estimation if number of element is not specified.
X) Changes to accomodate a (faster) unresizable hash set implementation,
for anonymous sets and dynamic size fixed sets with no timeouts.
X) Faster lookup function for unresizable hash table for 2 and 4

X) Do not hold reference to netdev from ipt_CLUSTER, instead subscribe
to device events and look up for index from the packet path, this

X) Use nf_register_net_hook() in ipt_CLUSTER, from Florian Westphal.

Quoting Joe Stringer:
If a user loads nf_conntrack_ftp, sends FTP traffic through a network
namespace, destroys that namespace then unloads the FTP helper module,
then the kernel will crash.
Events that lead to the crash:
1. conntrack is created with ftp helper in netns x
2. This netns is destroyed
3. netns destruction is scheduled
4. netns destruction wq starts, removes netns from global list
5. ftp helper is unloaded, which resets all helpers of the conntracks
via for_each_net()
but because netns is already gone from list the for_each_net() loop
doesn't include it, therefore all of these conntracks are unaffected.
6. helper module unload finishes
7. netns wq invokes destructor for rmmod'ed helper

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,

Make these functions (skb_put, __skb_put and pskb_put) return void *
and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only
where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the
following spatch:
@@
expression SKB, LEN;
typedef u8;
identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put };
@@
- *(fn(SKB, LEN))
+ *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)
@@

@@
- E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))

which actually doesn't cover pskb_put since there are only three
users overall.

nf_ct_iterate_cleanup_net currently calls iter() callback also for
conntracks on the unconfirmed list, but this is unsafe.
Acesses to nf_conn are fine, but some users access the extension area
in the iter() callback, but that does only work reliably for confirmed
conntracks (ct->ext can be reallocated at any time for unconfirmed
conntrack).
The seond issue is that there is a short window where a conntrack entry
is neither on the list nor in the table: To confirm an entry, it is first
removed from the unconfirmed list, then insert into the table.
Fix this by iterating the unconfirmed list first and marking all entries
as dying, then wait for rcu grace period.
This makes sure all entries that were about to be confirmed either are
in the main table, or will be dropped soon.

If nf_conntrack_htable_size was adjusted by the user during the ct
dump operation, we may invoke nf_ct_put twice for the same ct, i.e.
the "last" ct. This will cause the ct will be freed but still linked
in hash buckets.
It's very easy to reproduce the problem by the following commands:
# while : ; do
echo $RANDOM > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_buckets
done
# while : ; do
conntrack -L
done
# iperf -s 127.0.0.1 &
# iperf -c 127.0.0.1 -P 60 -t 36000
After a while, the system will hang like this:

NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [iperf:20382]
...
So at last if we find cb->args[1] is equal to "last", this means hash
resize happened, then we can set cb->args[1] to 0 to fix the above
issue.

Since we don't care about the IPS_DST_NAT_DONE_BIT, so just using

TCP Timestamps option is defined in RFC 7323
Traditionally on linux, it has been tied to the internal
'jiffies' variable, because it had been a cheap and good enough
generator.
For TCP flows on the Internet, 1 ms resolution would be much better
than 4ms or 10ms (HZ=250 or HZ=100 respectively)
For TCP flows in the DC, Google has used usec resolution for more
than two years with great success [1]
Receive size autotuning (DRS) is indeed more precise and converges
faster to optimal window size.
This patch converts tp->tcp_mstamp to a plain u64 value storing
a 1 usec TCP clock.
This choice will allow us to upstream the 1 usec TS option as
discussed in IETF 97.
