Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pablo/nf-next
Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next: 1) Clean up and consolidate ct ecache infrastructure by merging ct and expect notifiers, from Florian Westphal. 2) Missing counters and timestamp in nfnetlink_queue and _log conntrack information. 3) Missing error check for xt_register_template() in iptables mangle, as a incremental fix for the previous pull request, also from Florian Westphal. 4) Add netfilter hooks for the SRv6 lightweigh tunnel driver, from Ryoga Sato. The hooks are enabled via nf_hooks_lwtunnel sysctl to make sure existing netfilter rulesets do not break. There is a static key to disable the hooks by default. The pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_netif_receive.sh shows no noticeable impact in the seg6_input path for non-netfilter users: similar numbers with and without this patch. This is a sample of the perf report output: 11.67% kpktgend_0 [ipv6] [k] ipv6_get_saddr_eval 7.89% kpktgend_0 [ipv6] [k] __ipv6_addr_label 7.52% kpktgend_0 [ipv6] [k] __ipv6_dev_get_saddr 6.63% kpktgend_0 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] asm_exc_nmi 4.74% kpktgend_0 [ipv6] [k] fib6_node_lookup_1 3.48% kpktgend_0 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] pskb_expand_head 3.33% kpktgend_0 [ipv6] [k] ip6_rcv_core.isra.29 3.33% kpktgend_0 [ipv6] [k] seg6_do_srh_encap 2.53% kpktgend_0 [ipv6] [k] ipv6_dev_get_saddr 2.45% kpktgend_0 [ipv6] [k] fib6_table_lookup 2.24% kpktgend_0 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ___cache_free 2.16% kpktgend_0 [ipv6] [k] ip6_pol_route 2.11% kpktgend_0 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __ipv6_addr_type ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
