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:
