We were always setting it to ignore, due to bug 5825.
The engine will now issue an initialization error if an invalid value
is passed in the configuration file for midstream exception policy.
'pass-packet' or 'drop-packet' are never valid, as the midstream policy
concerns the whole flow, not making sense for just a packet.
If midstream is enabled, only two actual config values are allowed:
'ignore' and 'pass-flow', both in IDS and in IPS mode. In default mode
('auto' or if no policy is defined), midstream-policy is set to
'ignore'. All other values will lead to initialization error.
In IDS mode, 'drop-flow' will also lead to initialization error.
Use a mix of SCLogConfig, Warning and Info.
This mix works as follows: when something unnexpected for the user
happens - for instance, the engine ignoring an invalid config value, we
use warning. For indicating the value for the master switch, which
happens only once, we use Info. For all the other cases, we use
SCLogConfig.
It is possible that SCLogConfig isn't showing at the moment, this is a
possible bug to investigate further.
exceptions: parse config values, don't post process
Get the enum values from the config file. Update the new extracted
functions. Post-process the config values based on runmode and policy.
Also handle 'auto' enum value in these.
As the midstream exception policy has its own specific scenarios, have a
dedicated function to parse and process its config values, and check for
midstream enabled when needed.
Some exception policies can only be applied to the triggering packet or
only make sense considering the whole flow. Highlight such cases in the
table showing each exception policy.
The different interactions between midstream pick-up sessions and the
exception policy can be quite difficult to visualize. Add a section for
that in the userguide.
7a044a99ee14101fbc removed the lines that incremented these defrag
counters, but kept the entities themselves. This commit removes counters
that we judge too complex to maintain, given the current state of the
code, and re-adds incrementing max_hit (memcap related).

rust: fix unit test link error on Rust 1.70
Rust 1.70 appears to now link code on both branches of `if cfg!(test)`
now causing Rust unit tests to fail as that pattern was used to
disable functions only available when linked with the Suricata C code.
To work-around this issue, provide two versions of the `new` function,
one for unit tests and one when running as an application.

app-layer: improve/fix updates logic
In 23323a961fac ("app-layer: reduce app cleanup and output-tx calls"), flag
was set per packet updating the app-layer state. However this was missing a
common pattern: in IDS mode most updates are done in the opposite direction
of the traffic due to updates getting triggered by ACK's. This meant that
file store processing might not happen for a long time, or at all. Also,
app layer cleanup might not be called, which includes file pruning.
This patch sets per flow set of flags to indicate app layer is (potentially)
updated. It sets this per direction, based on how the parsers were invoked.
If an ACK triggers an app update, the flow is tagged for the opposite
direction and the next packet in that direction triggers output and cleanup.
In case of 'EXCEPTION_POLICY_REJECT', we were applying the same behavior
regardless of being in IDS or IPS mode.
This meant that (at least) the 'flow.action' was changed to drop when we
hit an exception policy in IDS mode.

decode-ipv6: Set IPv6 proto incase of ext header parsing error
Set the IPv6 packet proto before parsing the ext headers, similar to
decode-ipv4, incase of an ext header parsing error. Otherwise
rule decode-events are not triggered for packets encapsulated in IPv6.
Currently, there is no way to mark if LF was found and then the line was
truncated. It becomes difficult to spot in the callers whether the line
was truncated despite LF being found or not. So, label it clearly with a
variable.
So far, we store one variable in state to hold whether we want to
discard a long line till LF irrespective of direction. This means that a
long command to the client followed by a regular command w LF can be
considered as one long line which is incorrect.

http2: avoid quadratic complexity in headers
When adding an element to the dynamic headers table, the oldest
ones may get evicted. When multiple elements get evicted, they
should get evicted all at once with drain, instead of one by one
as there will be a massive move each time.
