Commit b7265c59ab ("kernel: backport a series of netfilter cleanup
patches to 4.14") added patch 302-netfilter-nf_tables_inet-don-t-use-
multihook-infrast.patch. That patch switches the netfilter core in the
kernel to use the new native NFPROTO_INET support. Unfortunately, the
new native NFPROTO_INET support does not exist in 4.14 and was not
backported along with this patchset. As such, nftables inet tables never
see any traffic.
As an example the following nft counter rule should increment for every
packet coming into the box, but never will:
nft add table inet foo
nft add chain inet foo bar { type filter hook input priority 0\; }
nft add rule inet foo bar counter
This commit pulls in the required backport patches to add the new
native NFPROTO_INET support, and thus restore nftables inet table
functionality.
Tested on Turris Omnia (mvebu)

This adds initial support for kernel 4.14 based on the patches for
kernel 4.9.
In the configuration I deactivated some of the new possible security
features like:
CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL
CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED
CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR
CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM
And these overlay FS options are also deactivated:
CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_INDEX
CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_REDIRECT_DIR
I activated this:
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE
CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS
CONFIG_SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED
I am not sure if I did the porting correct for the following patches:
target/linux/generic/backport-4.14/020-backport_netfilter_rtcache.patch
target/linux/generic/hack-4.14/220-gc_sections.patch
target/linux/generic/hack-4.14/321-powerpc_crtsavres_prereq.patch
target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/305-mips_module_reloc.patch
target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/611-netfilter_match_bypass_default_table.patch
target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/680-NET-skip-GRO-for-foreign-MAC-addresses.patch
