2018-12-01	netfilter: remove NFC_* cache bits	Pablo Neira Ayuso	1	-28/+0
	These are very very (for long time unused) caching infrastructure definition, remove then. They have nothing to do with the NFC subsystem. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2018-01-11	netfilter: nf_defrag: Skip defrag if NOTRACK is set	Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan	1	-0/+1
	conntrack defrag is needed only if some module like CONNTRACK or NAT explicitly requests it. For plain forwarding scenarios, defrag is not needed and can be skipped if NOTRACK is set in a rule. Since conntrack defrag is currently higher priority than raw table, setting NOTRACK is not sufficient. We need to move raw to a higher priority for iptables only. This is achieved by introducing a module parameter "raw_before_defrag" which allows to change the priority of raw table to place it before defrag. By default, the parameter is disabled and the priority of raw table is NF_IP_PRI_RAW to support legacy behavior. If the module parameter is enabled, then the priority of the raw table is set to NF_IP_PRI_RAW_BEFORE_DEFRAG.

2017-11-02	License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license	Greg Kroah-Hartman	1	-0/+1
	Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was chosen based on the license information in the file. GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall exception: NOTE! This copyright does not cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does not fall under the heading of "derived work". This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL code, without confusing license compliance tools. Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format is: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE) SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will happen in a separate step. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.
