netfilter: nf_tables: allow clone callbacks to sleep
Sven Auhagen reports transaction failures with following error: ./main.nft:13:1-26: Error: Could not process rule: Cannot allocate memory percpu: allocation failed, size=16 align=8 atomic=1, atomic alloc failed, no space left This points to failing pcpu allocation with GFP_ATOMIC flag. However, transactions happen from user context and are allowed to sleep. One case where we can call into percpu allocator with GFP_ATOMIC is nft_counter expression. Normally this happens from control plane, so this could use GFP_KERNEL instead. But one use case, element insertion from packet path, needs to use GFP_ATOMIC allocations (nft_dynset expression). At this time, .clone callbacks always use GFP_ATOMIC for this reason. Add gfp_t argument to the .clone function and pass GFP_KERNEL or GFP_ATOMIC flag depending on context, this allows all clone memory allocations to sleep for the normal (transaction) case.
