Pablo Neira Ayuso fd72f265bb netfilter: conntrack: remove DCCP protocol support
The DCCP socket family has now been removed from this tree, see:

  8bb3212be4 ("Merge branch 'net-retire-dccp-socket'")

Remove connection tracking and NAT support for this protocol, this
should not pose a problem because no DCCP traffic is expected to be seen
on the wire.

As for the code for matching on dccp header for iptables and nftables,
mark it as deprecated and keep it in place. Ruleset restoration is an
atomic operation. Without dccp matching support, an astray match on dccp
could break this operation leaving your computer with no policy in
place, so let's follow a more conservative approach for matches.

Add CONFIG_NFT_EXTHDR_DCCP which is set to 'n' by default to deprecate
dccp extension support. Similarly, label CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_DCCP
as deprecated too and also set it to 'n' by default.

Code to match on DCCP protocol from ebtables also remains in place, this
is just a few checks on IPPROTO_DCCP from _check() path which is
exercised when ruleset is loaded. There is another use of IPPROTO_DCCP
from the _check() path in the iptables multiport match. Another check
for IPPROTO_DCCP from the packet in the reject target is also removed.

So let's schedule removal of the dccp matching for a second stage, this
should not interfer with the dccp retirement since this is only matching
on the dccp header.

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 reStructuredText 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.
