The user tool modinfo is used to get information on kernel modules, including a
description where it is available.
This patch adds a brief MODULE_DESCRIPTION to netfilter kernel modules
(descriptions taken from Kconfig file or code comments)

Add nf_flow_rule_route_ipv6() and use it from the IPv6 and the inet
flowtable type definitions. Rename the nf_flow_rule_route() function to
nf_flow_rule_route_ipv4().
Adjust maximum number of actions, which now becomes 16 to leave
sufficient room for the IPv6 address mangling for NAT.

This patch adds the dataplane hardware offload to the flowtable
infrastructure. Three new flags represent the hardware state of this
flow:
* FLOW_OFFLOAD_HW: This flow entry resides in the hardware.
* FLOW_OFFLOAD_HW_DYING: This flow entry has been scheduled to be remove
from hardware. This might be triggered by either packet path (via TCP
RST/FIN packet) or via aging.
* FLOW_OFFLOAD_HW_DEAD: This flow entry has been already removed from
the hardware, the software garbage collector can remove it from the
software flowtable.
This patch supports for:
* IPv4 only.
* Aging via FLOW_CLS_STATS, no packet and byte counter synchronization
at this stage.
This patch also adds the action callback that specifies how to convert
the flow entry into the flow_rule object that is passed to the driver.

This patch adds the NFTA_FLOWTABLE_FLAGS attribute that allows users to
specify the NF_FLOWTABLE_HW_OFFLOAD flag. This patch also adds a new
setup interface for the flowtable type to perform the flowtable offload
block callback configuration.

Reduces the number of cache lines touched in the offload forwarding
path. This is safe because PMTU limits are bypassed for the forwarding
path (see commit f87c10a8aa for more details).

If you take a GSO skb, and split it into packets, will the network
length (L3 headers + L4 headers + payload) of those packets be small
enough to fit within a given MTU?
skb_gso_validate_mtu gives you the answer to that question. However,
we recently added to add a way to validate the MAC length of a split GSO
skb (L2+L3+L4+payload), and the names get confusing, so rename
skb_gso_validate_mtu to skb_gso_validate_network_len

Every flow_offload entry is added into the table twice. Because of this,
rhashtable_free_and_destroy can't be used, since it would call kfree for
each flow_offload object twice.
This patch cleans up the flowtable via nf_flow_table_iterate() to
schedule removal of entries by setting on the dying bit, then there is
an explicitly invocation of the garbage collector to release resources.
Based on patch from Felix Fietkau.

This patch adds the IPv6 flow table type, that implements the datapath
flow table to forward IPv6 traffic.
This patch exports ip6_dst_mtu_forward() that is required to check for
mtu to pass up packets that need PMTUD handling to the classic
forwarding path.
