[PATCH net-next 0/8] Netfilter updates for net-next

[Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>]

Hi,

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:
