David S. Miller be34892644 Merge branch 'netfilter-vrf-rework'
Florian Westphal says:

====================
vrf: rework interaction with netfilter/conntrack

V2:
- fix 'plain integer as null pointer' warning
- reword commit message in patch 2 to clarify loss of 'ct set untracked'

This patch series aims to solve the to-be-reverted change 09e856d54b
("vrf: Reset skb conntrack connection on VRF rcv") in a different way.

Rather than have skbs pass through conntrack and nat hooks twice, suppress
conntrack invocation if the conntrack/nat hook is called from the vrf driver.

First patch deals with 'incoming connection' case:
1. suppress NAT transformations
2. skip conntrack confirmation

NAT and conntrack confirmation is done when ip/ipv6 stack calls
the postrouting hook.

Second patch deals with local packets:
in vrf driver, mark the skbs as 'untracked', so conntrack output
hook ignores them.  This skips all nat hooks as well.

Afterwards, remove the untracked state again so the second
round will pick them up.

One alternative to the chosen implementation would be to add a 'caller
id' field to 'struct nf_hook_state' and then use that, these patches
use the more straightforward check of VRF flag on the state->out device.

The two patches apply to both net and net-next, i am targeting -next
because I think that since snat did not work correctly for so long that
we can take the longer route.  If you disagree, apply to net at your
discretion.

The patches apply both with 09e856d54b reverted or still
in-place, but only with the revert in place ingress conntrack settings
(zone, notrack etc) start working again.

I've already submitted selftests for vrf+nfqueue and conntrack+vrf.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
