Martynas Pumputis da79135a05 netfilter: nf_conntrack: resolve clash for matching conntracks
[ Upstream commit ed07d9a021df6da53456663a76999189badc432a ]

This patch enables the clash resolution for NAT (disabled in
"590b52e10d41") if clashing conntracks match (i.e. both tuples are equal)
and a protocol allows it.

The clash might happen for a connections-less protocol (e.g. UDP) when
two threads in parallel writes to the same socket and consequent calls
to "get_unique_tuple" return the same tuples (incl. reply tuples).

In this case it is safe to perform the resolution, as the losing CT
describes the same mangling as the winning CT, so no modifications to
the packet are needed, and the result of rules traversal for the loser's
packet stays valid.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
