We hold a module reference for each queued packet, so the hook that
queued the packet can't disappear. Also remove an obsolete comment
stating the opposite.

The queue handlers registered by ip[6]_queue.ko at initialization should
not be unregistered according to requests from userland program
using nfnetlink_queue. If we allow that, there is no way to register
the handlers of built-in ip[6]_queue again.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

The comparison wants to find out if the last list iteration reached the

The only point of registering a queue handler is to provide an outfn,

Packets should be rerouted when they come back from userspace, not before.
Also move the queue_rerouters to RCU to avoid taking the queue_handler_lock
for each reinjected packet.

Every rerouter needs to provide a save and a reroute function, we don't
need to check for them. But we do need to check if a rerouter is registered
at all for the current family, with bridging for example packets of
unregistered families can hit nf_queue.

With the new nf_queue generalization in 2.6.14, we've introduced a bug

registered. This patch fixes it.

This adds EEXIST to distinguish between the following return values:
0: nobody was registered, registration successful
EEXIST: the exact same handler was already registered, no registration
required
EBUSY: somebody else is registered, registration unsuccessful.

This patch adds a /proc/net/netfilter/nf_queue file, similar to the
recently-added /proc/net/netfilter/nf_log. It indicates which queue
handler is registered to which protocol family. This is useful since
there are now multiple queue handlers in the treee (ip[6]_queue,
nfnetlink_queue).

This patch doesn't introduce any code changes, but merely splits the
core netfilter code into four separate files. It also moves it from
it's old location in net/core/ to the recently-created net/netfilter/
directory.
