Eugene Crosser 55161e67d4 vrf: Revert "Reset skb conntrack connection..." 
This reverts commit 09e856d54b.

When an interface is enslaved in a VRF, prerouting conntrack hook is
called twice: once in the context of the original input interface, and
once in the context of the VRF interface. If no special precausions are
taken, this leads to creation of two conntrack entries instead of one,
and breaks SNAT.

Commit above was intended to avoid creation of extra conntrack entries
when input interface is enslaved in a VRF. It did so by resetting
conntrack related data associated with the skb when it enters VRF context.

However it breaks netfilter operation. Imagine a use case when conntrack
zone must be assigned based on the original input interface, rather than
VRF interface (that would make original interfaces indistinguishable). One
could create netfilter rules similar to these:

        chain rawprerouting {
                type filter hook prerouting priority raw;
                iif realiface1 ct zone set 1 return
                iif realiface2 ct zone set 2 return
        }

This works before the mentioned commit, but not after: zone assignment
is "forgotten", and any subsequent NAT or filtering that is dependent
on the conntrack zone does not work.

Here is a reproducer script that demonstrates the difference in behaviour.

# This script demonstrates unexpected change of nftables behaviour
# caused by commit 09e856d54b ""vrf: Reset skb conntrack
# connection on VRF rcv"
# https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=09e856d54bda5f288ef8437a90ab2b9b3eab83d1
#
# Before the commit, it was possible to assign conntrack zone to a
# packet (or mark it for `notracking`) in the prerouting chanin, raw
# priority, based on the `iif` (interface from which the packet
# arrived).
# After the change, # if the interface is enslaved in a VRF, such
# assignment is lost. Instead, assignment based on the `iif` matching
# the VRF master interface is honored. Thus it is impossible to
# distinguish packets based on the original interface.
#
# This script demonstrates this change of behaviour: conntrack zone 1
# or 2 is assigned depending on the match with the original interface
# or the vrf master interface. It can be observed that conntrack entry
# appears in different zone in the kernel versions before and after
# the commit.

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 Restructured Text 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.
