netfilter: nft_rbtree: no need for spinlock from set destroy path
The sets are released from the rcu callback, after the rule is removed
from the chain list, which implies that nfnetlink cannot update the
rbtree and no packets are walking on the set anymore. Thus, we can get
rid of the spinlock in the set destroy path there.

netfilter: nft_rbtree: introduce locking
There's no rbtree rcu version yet, so let's fall back on the spinlock
to protect the concurrent access of this structure both from user
(to update the set content) and kernel-space (in the packet path).

netfilter: nf_tables: implement proper set selection
The current set selection simply choses the first set type that provides
the requested features, which always results in the rbtree being chosen
by virtue of being the first set in the list.
What we actually want to do is choose the implementation that can provide
the requested features and is optimal from either a performance or memory
perspective depending on the characteristics of the elements and the
preferences specified by the user.
The elements are not known when creating a set. Even if we would provide
them for anonymous (literal) sets, we'd still have standalone sets where
the elements are not known in advance. We therefore need an abstract
description of the data charcteristics.
The kernel already knows the size of the key, this patch starts by
introducing a nested set description which so far contains only the maximum
amount of elements. Based on this the set implementations are changed to
provide an estimate of the required amount of memory and the lookup
complexity class.
The set ops have a new callback ->estimate() that is invoked during set
selection. It receives a structure containing the attributes known to the
kernel and is supposed to populate a struct nft_set_estimate with the
complexity class and, in case the size is known, the complete amount of
memory required, or the amount of memory required per element otherwise.
Based on the policy specified by the user (performance/memory, defaulting
to performance) the kernel will then select the best suited implementation.
Even if the set implementation would allow to add more than the specified
maximum amount of elements, they are enforced since new implementations
might not be able to add more than maximum based on which they were
selected.

netfilter: nft_rbtree: fix data handling of end interval elements
This patch fixes several things which related to the handling of
end interval elements:
* Chain use underflow with intervals and map: If you add a rule
using intervals+map that introduces a loop, the error path of the
rbtree set decrements the chain refcount for each side of the
interval, leading to a chain use counter underflow.
* Don't copy the data part of the end interval element since, this
area is uninitialized and this confuses the loop detection code.
* Don't allocate room for the data part of end interval elements
since this is unused.
So, after this patch the idea is that end interval elements don't
have a data part.

netfilter: nf_tables: add netlink set API
This patch adds the new netlink API for maintaining nf_tables sets
independently of the ruleset. The API supports the following operations:
- creation of sets
- deletion of sets
- querying of specific sets
- dumping of all sets
- addition of set elements
- removal of set elements
- dumping of all set elements
Sets are identified by name, each table defines an individual namespace.
The name of a set may be allocated automatically, this is mostly useful
in combination with the NFT_SET_ANONYMOUS flag, which destroys a set
automatically once the last reference has been released.
Sets can be marked constant, meaning they're not allowed to change while
linked to a rule. This allows to perform lockless operation for set
types that would otherwise require locking.
Additionally, if the implementation supports it, sets can (as before) be
used as maps, associating a data value with each key (or range), by
specifying the NFT_SET_MAP flag and can be used for interval queries by
specifying the NFT_SET_INTERVAL flag.
Set elements are added and removed incrementally. All element operations
support batching, reducing netlink message and set lookup overhead.
The old "set" and "hash" expressions are replaced by a generic "lookup"
expression, which binds to the specified set. Userspace is not aware
of the actual set implementation used by the kernel anymore, all
configuration options are generic.
Currently the implementation selection logic is largely missing and the
kernel will simply use the first registered implementation supporting the
requested operation. Eventually, the plan is to have userspace supply a
description of the data characteristics and select the implementation
based on expected performance and memory use.
This patch includes the new 'lookup' expression to look up for element
matching in the set.
This patch includes kernel-doc descriptions for this set API and it
also includes the following fixes.
From Patrick McHardy:
* netfilter: nf_tables: fix set element data type in dumps
* netfilter: nf_tables: fix indentation of struct nft_set_elem comments
* netfilter: nf_tables: fix oops in nft_validate_data_load()
* netfilter: nf_tables: fix oops while listing sets of built-in tables
* netfilter: nf_tables: destroy anonymous sets immediately if binding fails
* netfilter: nf_tables: propagate context to set iter callback
* netfilter: nf_tables: add loop detection
From Pablo Neira Ayuso:
* netfilter: nf_tables: allow to dump all existing sets
* netfilter: nf_tables: fix wrong type for flags variable in newelem
