Gao Feng 495dcb56d0 netfilter: SYNPROXY: Return NF_STOLEN instead of NF_DROP during handshaking
Current SYNPROXY codes return NF_DROP during normal TCP handshaking,
it is not friendly to caller. Because the nf_hook_slow would treat
the NF_DROP as an error, and return -EPERM.
As a result, it may cause the top caller think it meets one error.

For example, the following codes are from cfv_rx_poll()
	err = netif_receive_skb(skb);
	if (unlikely(err)) {
		++cfv->ndev->stats.rx_dropped;
	} else {
		++cfv->ndev->stats.rx_packets;
		cfv->ndev->stats.rx_bytes += skb_len;
	}
When SYNPROXY returns NF_DROP, then netif_receive_skb returns -EPERM.
As a result, the cfv driver would treat it as an error, and increase
the rx_dropped counter.

So use NF_STOLEN instead of NF_DROP now because there is no error
happened indeed, and free the skb directly.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
