There have been numerous complaints and bug reports over the years when admins
attempt to run more than one instance of iptables simultaneously. Currently
open bug reports which are related:
325: Parallel execution of the iptables is impossible
758: Retry iptables command on transient failure
764: Doing -Z twice in parallel breaks counters
822: iptables shows negative or other bad packet/byte counts
As Patrick notes in 325: "Since this has been a problem people keep running
into, I'd suggest to simply add some locking to iptables to catch the most
common case."
I started looking into alternatives to add locking, and of course the most
common/obvious solution is to use a pidfile. But this has various downsides,
such as if the application is terminated abnormally and the pidfile isn't
cleaned up. And this also requires a writable filesystem. Using a UNIX domain
socket file (e.g. in /var/run) has similar issues.
Starting in 2.2, Linux added support for abstract sockets. These sockets
require no filesystem, and automatically disappear once the application
terminates. This is the locking solution I chose to implement in ip[6]tables.
As an added bonus, since each network namespace has its own socket pool, an
ip[6]tables instance running in one namespace will not lock out an ip[6]tables
instance running in another namespace. A filesystem approach would have
to recognize and handle multiple network namespaces.

Command used:
git grep -f <(pcregrep -hior
'(?<=#define\s)IP6?(T_\w+)(?=\s+X\1)' include/)
and then fix all occurrences.

This is useful for the upcoming patch about per-instance auxiliary
data.

`iptables -A INPUT -p tcp ! --syn` forgot the negation, i.e. it
was not present in a subsequent `iptables -S`.
Commit v1.4.11~77^2~9 missed the fact that after autoloading a proto
extension, cs.invert must not be touched until the next getopt call.
This is now fixed by having command_default return a value to indicate
whether to jump or not.
