The compat path suffers from a similar problem. It only uses a __be32
when all of the recent code uses, and expects, an nf_inet_addr
everywhere. As a result, addresses stored by xt_recents were
filled with whatever other stuff was on the stack following the be32.

This patch adds missing role attribute to the DCCP type, otherwise
the creation of entries is not of any use.

The attribute added is CTA_PROTOINFO_DCCP_ROLE which contains the
role of the conntrack original tuple.

Commit d0dba725 (netfilter: ctnetlink: add callbacks to the per-proto

br_nf_dev_queue_xmit only checks for ETH_P_IP packets for fragmenting but not
VLAN packets. This results in dropping of large VLAN packets. This can be
observed when connection tracking is enabled. Connection tracking re-assembles
fragmented packets, and these have to re-fragmented when transmitting out. Also,
make sure only refragmented packets are defragmented as per suggestion from
Patrick McHardy.

With this patch, nfnetlink returns -ENOMEM instead of -EPERM if we
fail to create the nfnetlink netlink socket during the module
loading. This is exactly what rtnetlink does in this case.

Ideally, it would be better if we propagate the error that has
happened in netlink_kernel_create(), however, this function still
does not implement this yet.

The removal of the SAME target accidentally removed one feature that is
not available from the normal NAT targets so far, having multi-range
mappings that use the same mapping for each connection from a single
client. The current behaviour is to choose the address from the range
based on source and destination IP, which breaks when communicating
with sites having multiple addresses that require all connections to
originate from the same IP address.

Introduce a IP_NAT_RANGE_PERSISTENT option that controls whether the
destination address is taken into account for selecting addresses.

This patch fixes a regression (introduced by myself in commit 19abb7b0:
netfilter: ctnetlink: deliver events for conntracks changed from
userspace) that results in an expectation re-insertion since
__nf_ct_expect_check() may return 0 for expectation timer refreshing.

This patch also removes a unnecessary refcount bump that
pretended to avoid a possible race condition with event delivery
and expectation timers (as said, not needed since we hold a
reference to the object since until we finish the expectation
setup). This also merges nf_ct_expect_related_report() and
nf_ct_expect_related() which look basically the same.

currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control()
to check if the 'string' has any control characters.  If the 'string' has an
embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has
no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string
with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL.
audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual
audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory
is after the NULL.

Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data
to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it)
we should just consider NULL as a control character.  If the caller is
certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using
audit_log_untrustedstring.

(updated)
Added hunk that changes the comment, the rest is the same.

EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts
"\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're
there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round
them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when
creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in
an audit record.

This patch adds a .notify() method.  The presence of .notify() causes
Linux/ACPI to manage event handlers and notify handlers on our behalf,
so we don't have to install and remove them ourselves.

Note that events from fixed hardware buttons now show up as a special
notify event, so to preserve user-space backward compatibility, we
convert that back to ACPI_BUTTON_NOTIFY_STATUS.

This patch adds support for ACPI device driver .notify() methods.  If
such a method is present, Linux/ACPI installs a handler for device
notifications (but not for system notifications such as Bus Check,
Device Check, etc).  When a device notification occurs, Linux/ACPI
passes it on to the driver's .notify() method.

In most cases, this removes the need for drivers to install their own
handlers for device-specific notifications.

For fixed hardware devices like some power and sleep buttons, there's
no notification value because there's no control method to execute a
Notify opcode.  When a fixed hardware device generates an event, we
handle it the same as a regular device notification, except we send
a ACPI_FIXED_HARDWARE_EVENT value.  This is outside the normal 0x0-0xff
range used by Notify opcodes.

Several drivers install their own handlers for system Bus Check and
Device Check notifications so they can support hot-plug.  This patch
doesn't affect that usage.
