This new attribute is supposed to be used instead of NFTA_DEVICE_NAME
for simple wildcard interface specs. It holds a NUL-terminated string
representing an interface name prefix to match on.
While kernel code to distinguish full names from prefixes in
NFTA_DEVICE_NAME is simpler than this solution, reusing the existing
attribute with different semantics leads to confusion between different
versions of kernel and user space though:
* With old kernels, wildcards submitted by user space are accepted yet
silently treated as regular names.
* With old user space, wildcards submitted by kernel may cause crashes
since libnftnl expects NUL-termination when there is none.
Using a distinct attribute type sanitizes these situations as the
receiving part detects and rejects the unexpected attribute nested in
*_HOOK_DEVS attributes.

While updating the binary min-len implementation, I noticed that
the only user, should AFAICT be using exact-len instead.
In net/ipv4/fou_core.c FOU_ATTR_LOCAL_V6 and FOU_ATTR_PEER_V6
are only used for singular IPv6 addresses, and there are AFAICT
no known implementations trying to send more, it therefore
appears safe to change it to an exact-len policy.
This patch therefore changes the local-v6/peer-v6 attributes to
use an exact-len check, instead of a min-len check.

Accelerated Receive Flow Steering (aRFS) relies on sockets recording
their RX flow hash into the rps_sock_flow_table so that incoming packets
are steered to the CPU where the application runs.
With MPTCP, the application interacts with the parent MPTCP socket while
data is carried over per-subflow TCP sockets. Without recording these
subflows, aRFS cannot steer interrupts and RX processing for the flows
to the desired CPU.
Record all subflows in the RPS table by calling sock_rps_record_flow()
for each subflow at the start of mptcp_sendmsg(), mptcp_recvmsg() and
mptcp_stream_accept(), by using the new helper
mptcp_rps_record_subflows().
It does not by itself improve throughput, but ensures that IRQ and RX
processing are directed to the right CPU, which is a
prerequisite for effective aRFS.

the desired packet field. Increase the offset limit to 65535 or U16_MAX.
In addition, the nla policy maximum value is not set anymore as it is

expression initialization function.

Quoting Sven Auhagen:
we do see on occasions that we get the following error message, more so on
x86 systems than on arm64:
Error: Could not process rule: Cannot allocate memory delete table inet filter
It is not a consistent error and does not happen all the time.
We are on Kernel 6.6.80, seems to me like we have something along the lines
of the nf_tables: allow clone callbacks to sleep problem using GFP_ATOMIC.
As hinted at by Sven, this is because of GFP_ATOMIC allocations during
set flush.
When set is flushed, all elements are deactivated. This triggers a set
walk and each element gets added to the transaction list.
The rbtree and rhashtable sets don't allow the iter callback to sleep:
rbtree walk acquires read side of an rwlock with bh disabled, rhashtable
walk happens with rcu read lock held.
Rbtree is simple enough to resolve:
When the walk context is ITER_READ, no change is needed (the iter
callback must not deactivate elements; we're not in a transaction).
When the iter type is ITER_UPDATE, the rwlock isn't needed because the
caller holds the transaction mutex, this prevents any and all changes to
the ruleset, including add/remove of set elements.
Rhashtable is slightly more complex.
When the iter type is ITER_READ, no change is needed, like rbtree.
For ITER_UPDATE, we hold transaction mutex which prevents elements from
getting free'd, even outside of rcu read lock section.
So build a temporary list of all elements while doing the rcu iteration
and then call the iterator in a second pass.
The disadvantage is the need to iterate twice, but this cost comes with
the benefit to allow the iter callback to use GFP_KERNEL allocations in
a followup patch.
The new list based logic makes it necessary to catch recursive calls to
the same set earlier.
Such walk -> iter -> walk recursion for the same set can happen during
ruleset validation in case userspace gave us a bogus (cyclic) ruleset
where verdict map m jumps to chain that sooner or later also calls
"vmap @m".
Before the new ->in_update_walk test, the ruleset is rejected because the
infinite recursion causes ctx->level to exceed the allowed maximum.
But with the new logic added here, elements would get skipped:
nft_rhash_walk_update would see elements that are on the walk_list of
an older stack frame.
As all recursive calls into same map results in -EMLINK, we can avoid this
problem by using the new in_update_walk flag and reject immediately.
Next patch converts the problematic GFP_ATOMIC allocations.

The icmp_ndo_send function was originally introduced to ensure proper
rate limiting when icmp_send is called by a network device driver,
where the packet's source address may have already been transformed
by SNAT.
However, the original implementation only considers the
IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL direction for SNAT and always replaced the packet's
source address with that of the original-direction tuple. This causes
two problems:
1. For SNAT:
Reply-direction packets were incorrectly translated using the source
address of the CT original direction, even though no translation is
required.
2. For DNAT:
Reply-direction packets were not handled at all. In DNAT, the original
direction's destination is translated. Therefore, in the reply
direction the source address must be set to the reply-direction
source, so rate limiting works as intended.
Fix this by using the connection direction to select the correct tuple
for source address translation, and adjust the pre-checks to handle
reply-direction packets in case of DNAT.
Additionally, wrap the `ct->status` access in READ_ONCE(). This avoids
possible KCSAN reports about concurrent updates to `ct->status`.
