    netfilter: nf_tables: add stateful objects · e5009240
    Pablo Neira Ayuso authored
    This patch augments nf_tables to support stateful objects. This new
    infrastructure allows you to create, dump and delete stateful objects,
    that are identified by a user-defined name.
    
    This patch adds the generic infrastructure, follow up patches add
    support for two stateful objects: counters and quotas.
    
    This patch provides a native infrastructure for nf_tables to replace
    nfacct, the extended accounting infrastructure for iptables.
