When doing a flush on a set or mass adding/removing elements from a
set, each element needs to allocate 96 bytes to hold the transactional
state.

In such cases, virtually all the information in struct nft_trans_elem
is the same.

Change nft_trans_elem to a flex-array, i.e. a single nft_trans_elem
can hold multiple set element pointers.

The number of elements that can be stored in one nft_trans_elem is limited
by the slab allocator, this series limits the compaction to at most 62
elements as it caps the reallocation to 2048 bytes of memory.

Florian Westphal (5):
  netfilter: nf_tables: prefer nft_trans_elem_alloc helper
  netfilter: nf_tables: add nft_trans_commit_list_add_elem helper
  netfilter: nf_tables: prepare for multiple elements in nft_trans_elem
    structure
  netfilter: nf_tables: switch trans_elem to real flex array
  netfilter: nf_tables: allocate element update information dynamically
