netfilter: use actual socket sk rather than skb sk when routing harder

If netfilter changes the packet mark when mangling, the packet is
rerouted using the route_me_harder set of functions. Prior to this
commit, there's one big difference between route_me_harder and the
ordinary initial routing functions, described in the comment above
__ip_queue_xmit():

/* Note: skb->sk can be different from sk, in case of tunnels */
int __ip_queue_xmit(struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb, struct flowi *fl,

That function goes on to correctly make use of sk->sk_bound_dev_if,
rather than skb->sk->sk_bound_dev_if. And indeed the comment is true: a
tunnel will receive a packet in ndo_start_xmit with an initial skb->sk.
It will make some transformations to that packet, and then it will send
the encapsulated packet out of a *new* socket. That new socket will
basically always have a different sk_bound_dev_if (otherwise there'd be
a routing loop). So for the purposes of routing the encapsulated packet,
the routing information as it pertains to the socket should come from
that socket's sk, rather than the packet's original skb->sk. For that
reason __ip_queue_xmit() and related functions all do the right thing.

One might argue that all tunnels should just call skb_orphan(skb) before
transmitting the encapsulated packet into the new socket. But tunnels do
*not* do this -- and this is wisely avoided in skb_scrub_packet() too --
because features like TSQ rely on skb->destructor() being called when
that buffer space is truely available again. Calling skb_orphan(skb) too
early would result in buffers filling up unnecessarily and accounting
info being all wrong. Instead, additional routing must take into account
the new sk, just as __ip_queue_xmit() notes.

So, this commit addresses the problem by fishing the correct sk out of
state->sk -- it's already set properly in the call to nf_hook() in
__ip_local_out(), which receives the sk as part of its normal
functionality. So we make sure to plumb state->sk through the various
route_me_harder functions, and then make correct use of it following the
example of __ip_queue_xmit().

netfilter: avoid ipv6 -> nf_defrag_ipv6 module dependency

nf_ct_frag6_gather is part of nf_defrag_ipv6.ko, not ipv6 core.

The current use of the netfilter ipv6 stub indirections causes a module
dependency between ipv6 and nf_defrag_ipv6.

This prevents nf_defrag_ipv6 module from being removed because ipv6 can't
be unloaded.

Remove the indirection and always use a direct call. This creates a
depency from nf_conntrack_bridge to nf_defrag_ipv6 instead:

modinfo nf_conntrack
depends: nf_conntrack,nf_defrag_ipv6,bridge

.. and nf_conntrack already depends on nf_defrag_ipv6 anyway.

The problem is that it assumes that whenever IPV6 is not a loadable

not true when IPV6 is disabled.

We cannot make a direct call to nf_ip6_reroute() because that would result

Therefore, define reroute indirection in nf_ipv6_ops where this really
belongs to.

For IPv4, we can indeed make a direct function call, which is faster,
given IPv4 is built-in in the networking code by default. Still,
CONFIG_INET=n and CONFIG_NETFILTER=y is possible, so define empty inline
stub for IPv4 in such case.

netfilter: move route indirection to struct nf_ipv6_ops

We cannot make a direct call to nf_ip6_route() because that would result
in autoloading the 'ipv6' module because of symbol dependencies.
Therefore, define route indirection in nf_ipv6_ops where this really
belongs to.

For IPv4, we can indeed make a direct function call, which is faster,
given IPv4 is built-in in the networking code by default. Still,
CONFIG_INET=n and CONFIG_NETFILTER=y is possible, so define empty inline
stub for IPv4 in such case.

netfilter: bridge: forward IPv6 fragmented packets

IPv6 fragmented packets are not forwarded on an ethernet bridge
with netfilter ip6_tables loaded. e.g. steps to reproduce

1) create a simple bridge like this

modprobe br_netfilter
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 eth2
ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig eth2 up
ifconfig br0 up

2) place a host with an IPv6 address on each side of the bridge

set IPv6 address on host A:
ip -6 addr add fd01:2345:6789:1::1/64 dev eth0

set IPv6 address on host B:
ip -6 addr add fd01:2345:6789:1::2/64 dev eth0

3) run a simple ping command on host A with packets > MTU

ping6 -s 4000 fd01:2345:6789:1::2

4) wait some time and run e.g. "ip6tables -t nat -nvL" on the bridge

IPv6 fragmented packets traverse the bridge cleanly until somebody runs.
"ip6tables -t nat -nvL". As soon as it is run (and netfilter modules are
loaded) IPv6 fragmented packets do not traverse the bridge any more (you
see no more responses in ping's output).

After applying this patch IPv6 fragmented packets traverse the bridge
cleanly in above scenario.
