From: Gao feng <redacted>

the struct nf_proto_net stroes proto's ctl_table_header and ctl_table,
nf_ct_l4proto_(un)register_sysctl use it to register sysctl.

there are some changes for struct nf_conntrack_l4proto:
- add field compat to identify if this proto should do compat.
- the net_id field is used to store the pernet_operations id
  that belones to l4proto.
- init_net will be used to initial the proto's pernet data

and add init_net for struct nf_conntrack_l3proto too.
This patchset looks bette but there are still things that we have to
resolve.

The first one (regarding this patch 1/17) changes in:
* include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_l4proto.h
* include/net/netns/conntrack.h

should be included in:
[PATCH] netfilter: add namespace support for l4proto

And changes in:
* include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_l3proto.h

should be included in:
[PATCH] netfilter: add namespace support for l3proto

I already told you. A patch that adds a structure without using it,
is not good. The structure has to go together with the code uses it.
It seams this patch should be merged to "netfilter: add namespace support for l4proto"
the struct nf_proto_net is first used there.

I don't see why we need this new field.

It seems to be set to 1 in each structure that has set:

.ctl_compat_table

to non-NULL. So, it's redundant.

Moreover, you already know from the protocol tracker itself if you
have to allocate the compat ctl table or not.

In other words: You set compat to 1 for nf_conntrack_l4proto_generic.
Then, you pass that compat value to generic_init_net via ->inet_net
again, but this information (that determines if the compat has to be
done or not) is already in the scope of the protocol tracker.
because some protocols such l4proto_tcp6 and l4proto_tcp use the same init_net
function. the l4proto_tcp6 doesn't need compat sysctl, so we should use this new
field to identify if we should kmemdup compat_sysctl_table.
Then, could you use two init_net functions? one for TCP for IPv4 and another
for TCP for IPv6?
and beacuse protocols will have pernet ctl_compat_table and ctl_table,the .ctl_compat_table
field will be deleted in patch 15/17. so we should the new field compat.

actually, we don't need to pass compat value for generic_init_net,beacuse
we know l4proto_generic need compat. But consider there are l4proto_tcp(6), and in order to keep
code readable,I prefer to add compat field and pass it to init_net.

You have to fix this.
