Subject: [PATCH net 0/4] Netfilter fixes for net (v2)

Hi,

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net:

1) Move back the defrag users fields to the global netns_nf area.
   Kernel fails to boot if conntrack is builtin and kernel is booted
   with: nf_conntrack.enable_hooks=1. From Florian Westphal.

2) Rule event notification is missing relevant context such as
   the position handle and the NLM_F_APPEND flag.

3) Rule replacement is expanded to add + delete using the existing
   rule handle, reverse order of this operation so it makes sense
   from rule notification standpoint.

4) Propagate to userspace the NLM_F_CREATE and NLM_F_EXCL flags
   from the rule notification path.

Patches #2, #3 and #4 are used by 'nft monitor' and 'iptables-monitor'
userspace utilities which are not correctly representing the following
operations through netlink notifications:

- rule insertions
- rule addition/insertion from position handle
- create table/chain/set/map/flowtable/...

Please, pull these changes from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pablo/nf.git

In this round, I have keep back the patch 4/5 ("netfilter: nft_dynset:
relax superfluous check on set updates") coming in the previous series,
which is relaxing a bogus check in the dynset extension for the timeout
flag. Such patch has no existing users in the strict sense and it is
possible to route it through net-next.

Thanks.
