      ====================
      netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next
      
      The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree,
      they are:
      
      * Add full port randomization support. Some crazy researchers found a way
        to reconstruct the secure ephemeral ports that are allocated in random mode
        by sending off-path bursts of UDP packets to overrun the socket buffer of
        the DNS resolver to trigger retransmissions, then if the timing for the
        DNS resolution done by a client is larger than usual, then they conclude
        that the port that received the burst of UDP packets is the one that was
        opened. It seems a bit aggressive method to me but it seems to work for
        them. As a result, Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa came up with a
        new NAT mode to fully randomize ports using prandom.
      
      * Add a new classifier to x_tables based on the socket net_cls set via
        cgroups. These includes two patches to prepare the field as requested by
        Zefan Li. Also from Daniel Borkmann.
      
      * Use prandom instead of get_random_bytes in several locations of the
        netfilter code, from Florian Westphal.
      
      * Allow to use the CTA_MARK_MASK in ctnetlink when mangling the conntrack
        mark, also from Florian Westphal.
      
      * Fix compilation warning due to unused variable in IPVS, from Geert
        Uytterhoeven.
      
      * Add support for UID/GID via nfnetlink_queue, from Valentina Giusti.
      
      * Add IPComp extension to x_tables, from Fan Du.
