[Devel] [PATCH 33/33] Enable netfilter in netns

[Alexey Dobriyan]

>From kernel perspective, allow entrance in nf_hook_slow().

Stuff which uses nf_register_hook/nf_register_hooks, but otherwise not netns-ready:

	DECnet netfilter
	ipt_CLUSTERIP
	nf_nat_standalone.c together with XFRM (?)
	IPVS
	several individual match modules (like hashlimit)
	ctnetlink
	NOTRACK
	all sorts of queueing and reporting to userspace
	L3 and L4 protocol sysctls, bridge sysctls
	probably something else

Anyway critical mass has been achieved, there is no reason to hide netfilter any longer.

>From userspace perspective, allow to manipulate all sorts of                                                                                                                                                                                   
iptables/ip6tables/arptables rules.
