Florian Westphal f11935ef23 netfilter: nf_tables: warn when expr implements only one of activate/deactivate
[ Upstream commit 0ef235c71755c5f36c50282fcf2d7d08709be344 ]

->destroy is only allowed to free data, or do other cleanups that do not
have side effects on other state, such as visibility to other netlink
requests.

Such things need to be done in ->deactivate.
As a transaction can fail, we need to make sure we can undo such
operations, therefore ->activate() has to be provided too.

So print a warning and refuse registration if expr->ops provides
only one of the two operations.

v2: fix nft_expr_check_ops to not repeat same check twice (Jones Desougi)

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.
