Merge branch 'master' of git://1984.lsi.us.es/nf-next
Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== The following patchset contains Netfilter and IPVS updates for your net-next tree, most relevantly they are: * Add net namespace support to NFLOG, ULOG and ebt_ulog and NFQUEUE. The LOG and ebt_log target has been also adapted, but they still depend on the syslog netnamespace that seems to be missing, from Gao Feng. * Don't lose indications of congestion in IPv6 fragmentation handling, from Hannes Frederic Sowa.i * IPVS conversion to use RCU, including some code consolidation patches and optimizations, also some from Julian Anastasov. * cpu fanout support for NFQUEUE, from Holger Eitzenberger. * Better error reporting to userspace when dropping packets from all our _*_[xfrm|route]_me_harder functions, from Patrick McHardy. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
