Harald Welte d72367b6f3 [NETFILTER]: more verbose return codes from nf_{log,queue}
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.

Harald Welte bbd86b9fc4 [NETFILTER]: add /proc/net/netfilter interface to nf_queue
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).

Harald Welte fbcd923c3e [NETFILTER]: add correct bridging support to nfnetlink_{queue,log}
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.

Harald Welte f6ebe77f95 [NETFILTER]: split net/core/netfilter.c into net/netfilter/*.c
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.

Harald Welte a42827b71b [NETFILTER]: cleanup nfnetlink_check_attributes()
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

Harald Welte 927ccbcc28 [NETFILTER]: attribute count is an attribute of message type, not subsytem
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.

Harald Welte 0597f2680d [NETFILTER]: Add new "nfnetlink_log" userspace packet logging facility
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.

Harald Welte 080774a243 [NETFILTER]: Add ctnetlink subsystem
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.

Introduce "nfnetlink" (netfilter netlink) layer.  This layer is used as
transport layer for all userspace communication of the new upcoming
netfilter subsystems, such as ctnetlink, nfnetlink_queue and some day even
the mythical pkttables ;)
