====================
Netfilter fixes for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net, they are:

1) Unaligned atomic access in ipset, from Russell King.

2) Missing module description, from Rob Gill.

3) Patches to fix a module unload causing NULL pointer dereference in
   xtables, from David Wilder. For the record, I posting here his cover
   letter explaining the problem:

    A crash happened on ppc64le when running ltp network tests triggered by
    "rmmod iptable_mangle".

    See previous discussion in this thread:
    https://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2020/06/03/161 .

    In the crash I found in iptable_mangle_hook() that
    state->net->ipv4.iptable_mangle=NULL causing a NULL pointer dereference.
    net->ipv4.iptable_mangle is set to NULL in +iptable_mangle_net_exit() and
    called when ip_mangle modules is unloaded. A rmmod task was found running
    in the crash dump.  A 2nd crash showed the same problem when running
    "rmmod iptable_filter" (net->ipv4.iptable_filter=NULL).

    To fix this I added .pre_exit hook in all iptable_foo.c. The pre_exit will
    un-register the underlying hook and exit would do the table freeing. The
    netns core does an unconditional +synchronize_rcu after the pre_exit hooks
    insuring no packets are in flight that have picked up the pointer before
    completing the un-register.

    These patches include changes for both iptables and ip6tables.

    We tested this fix with ltp running iptables01.sh and iptables01.sh -6 a
    loop for 72 hours.

4) Add a selftest for conntrack helper assignment, from Florian Westphal.
