stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.101 commit 04fe6569a7cfb1040a0f41b9e2a0d89d7f2d8529 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5669Z
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit d1ca60efc53d665cf89ed847a14a510a81770b81 ]
When userspace, e.g. conntrackd, inserts an entry with a specified helper, its possible that the helper is lost immediately after its added:
ctnetlink_create_conntrack -> nf_ct_helper_ext_add + assign helper -> ctnetlink_setup_nat -> ctnetlink_parse_nat_setup -> parse_nat_setup -> nfnetlink_parse_nat_setup -> nf_nat_setup_info -> nf_conntrack_alter_reply -> __nf_ct_try_assign_helper
... and __nf_ct_try_assign_helper will zero the helper again.
Set IPS_HELPER bit to bypass auto-assign logic, its unwanted, just like when helper is assigned via ruleset.
Dropped old 'not strictly necessary' comment, it referred to use of rcu_assign_pointer() before it got replaced by RCU_INIT_POINTER().
NB: Fixes tag intentionally incorrect, this extends the referenced commit, but this change won't build without IPS_HELPER introduced there.
