Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net-next This contains fixes for nf_tables, revisit issues with expectation infra updates reported by sashiko, an ipset fix for deletions in the hash:net type and tne fix for the IPVS FTP helper. 1) Validate layer 4 header mangling done via nfnetlink_queue and nft_payload, this is a follow up to recent similar validation at layer 3. From Zhiling Zou. 2) Do not allocate memory on delete operations in ipset hash:net type, delete operation must always succeed. From Florian Westphal. 3) Deliver nft_obj overquota packet path notification directly via nfnetlink, do not use the control plane batch logic. From Fourie Zhang. 4) Follow up to controlidate check for reinserted dead expectations, to cover the nf_conntrack_expect_related_pair() function too. 5) Do not expose expectation dead flag to userspace via ctnetlink. 6) Make commit set_update_list per-netns to prepare to publish set clone earlier. 7) Publish the set clone earlier from commit path to address set lookup failures during table re-creation, this is targetting the rbtree and pipapo set backends. 8) Fix an integer overflow in the IPVS FTP helper. A similar fix was already proposed for the conntrack FTP helper months ago.
