... with ipv4/v6 nat now provided directly via nf_nat.ko.
Also changes:
ret = nf_nat_ipv4_fn(priv, skb, state);
if (ret != NF_DROP && ret != NF_STOLEN &&
into
if (ret != NF_ACCEPT)
return ret;
everywhere.
The nat hooks never should return anything other than
ACCEPT or DROP (and the latter only in rare error cases).
The original code uses multi-line ANDing including assignment-in-if:
if (ret != NF_DROP && ret != NF_STOLEN &&
!(IPCB(skb)->flags & IPSKB_XFRM_TRANSFORMED) &&
(ct = nf_ct_get(skb, &ctinfo)) != NULL) {
I removed this while moving, breaking those in separate conditionals
and moving the assignments into extra lines.
checkpatch still generates some warnings:
1. Overly long lines (of moved code).
Breaking them is even more ugly. so I kept this as-is.
2. use of extern function declarations in a .c file.
This is necessary evil, we must call
nf_nat_l3proto_register() from the nat core now.
All l3proto related functions are removed later in this series,
those prototypes are then removed as well.
v2: keep empty nf_nat_ipv6_csum_update stub for CONFIG_IPV6=n case.
v3: remove IS_ENABLED(NF_NAT_IPV4/6) tests, NF_NAT_IPVx toggles
are removed here.
v4: also get rid of the assignments in conditionals.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
