netfilter: Pass struct net into the netfilter hooks
Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks. At the
call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through
the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to
be easily and reliabily.
This allows the replacement of magic code like
"dev_net(state->in?:state->out)" that appears at the start of most
netfilter hooks with "state->net".
In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived
from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those
paths will not see any changes in practice.
The exceptions are:
xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume() xs_net(skb_dst(skb)->xfrm)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipv4/raw.c:raw_send_hdrinc() sock_net(sk)
ipv6/ip6_output.c:ip6_xmit() sock_net(sk)
ipv6/ndisc.c:ndisc_send_skb() dev_net(skb->dev) not dev_net(dst->dev)
ipv6/raw.c:raw6_send_hdrinc() sock_net(sk)
br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb->dev) before skb->dev is set to nf_bridge->physindev
In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the
network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic
"dev_net(in?in:out)". I am documenting them in case something odd
pops up and someone starts trying to track down what happened.
