Florian Westphal 79ea9102e6 netfilter: nf_nat: remove bogus direction check 
[ Upstream commit 5ec8ca26fe ]

Jakub reports spurious failures of the 'conntrack_reverse_clash.sh'
selftest.  A bogus test makes nat core resort to port rewrite even
though there is no need for this.

When the test is made, nf_nat_used_tuple() would already have caused us
to return if no other CPU had added a colliding entry.
Moreover, nf_nat_used_tuple() would have ignored the colliding entry if
their origin tuples had been the same.

All that is left to check is if the colliding entry in the hash table
is subject to NAT, and, if its not, if our entry matches in the reverse
direction, e.g. hash table has

addr1:1234 -> addr2:80, and we want to commit
addr2:80   -> addr1:1234.

Because we already checked that neither the new nor the committed entry is
subject to NAT we only have to check origin vs. reply tuple:
for non-nat entries, the reply tuple is always the inverted original.

Just in case there are more problems extend the error reporting
in the selftest while at it and dump conntrack table/stats on error.

README 

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
