netfilter: nf_conntrack: reserve two bytes for nf_ct_ext->len

2014-05-31T04:52:11+00:00

commit 223b02d923ecd7c84cf9780bb3686f455d279279 upstream.

"len" contains sizeof(nf_ct_ext) and size of extensions. In a worst
case it can contain all extensions. Bellow you can find sizes for all
types of extensions. Their sum is definitely bigger than 256.

nf_ct_ext_types[0]->len = 24
nf_ct_ext_types[1]->len = 32
nf_ct_ext_types[2]->len = 24
nf_ct_ext_types[3]->len = 32
nf_ct_ext_types[4]->len = 152
nf_ct_ext_types[5]->len = 2
nf_ct_ext_types[6]->len = 16
nf_ct_ext_types[7]->len = 8

I have seen "len" up to 280 and my host has crashes w/o this patch.

The right way to fix this problem is reducing the size of the ecache
extension (4) and Florian is going to do this, but these changes will
be quite large to be appropriate for a stable tree.

netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs

2013-12-08T15:29:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6aafeef03b9d9ecf255f3a80ed85ee070260e1ae ]

Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example
for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following
example:


On HOSTA do:
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT

and on HOSTB you do:
ping6 HOSTA -s2000    (MTU is 1500)

Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does
not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen)


As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use
reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side
effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams
dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed.

Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c
entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: use RCU safe kfree for conntrack extensions

2013-12-04T18:57:35+00:00

commit c13a84a830a208fb3443628773c8ca0557773cc7 upstream.

Commit 68b80f11 (netfilter: nf_nat: fix RCU races) introduced
RCU protection for freeing extension data when reallocation
moves them to a new location. We need the same protection when
freeing them in nf_ct_ext_free() in order to prevent a
use-after-free by other threads referencing a NAT extension data
via bysource list.

netfilter: log: netns NULL ptr bug when calling from conntrack

2013-05-15T12:11:07+00:00

Since (69b34fb netfilter: xt_LOG: add net namespace support
for xt_LOG), we hit this:

[ 4224.708977] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000388
[ 4224.709074] IP: [] ipt_log_packet+0x29/0x270

when callling log functions from conntrack both in and out
are NULL i.e. the net pointer is invalid.

Adding struct net *net in call to nf_logfn() will secure that
there always is a vaild net ptr.

netfilter: move skb_gso_segment into nfnetlink_queue module

2013-04-29T18:09:05+00:00

skb_gso_segment is expensive, so it would be nice if we could
avoid it in the future. However, userspace needs to be prepared
to receive larger-than-mtu-packets (which will also have incorrect
l3/l4 checksums), so we cannot simply remove it.

The plan is to add a per-queue feature flag that userspace can
set when binding the queue.

The problem is that in nf_queue, we only have a queue number,
not the queue context/configuration settings.

This patch should have no impact other than the skb_gso_segment
call now being in a function that has access to the queue config
data.

A new size attribute in nf_queue_entry is needed so
nfnetlink_queue can duplicate the entry of the gso skb
when segmenting the skb while also copying the route key.

The follow up patch adds switch to disable skb_gso_segment when
queue config says so.

netfilter: rename netlink related "pid" variables to "portid"

Get rid of the confusing mix of pid and portid and use portid consistently
for all netlink related socket identities.

netfilter: nf_log: prepare net namespace support for loggers

2013-04-05T18:12:54+00:00

This patch adds netns support to nf_log and it prepares netns
support for existing loggers. It is composed of four major
changes.

1) nf_log_register has been split to two functions: nf_log_register
   and nf_log_set. The new nf_log_register is used to globally
   register the nf_logger and nf_log_set is used for enabling
   pernet support from nf_loggers.

   Per netns is not yet complete after this patch, it comes in
   separate follow up patches.

2) Add net as a parameter of nf_log_bind_pf. Per netns is not
   yet complete after this patch, it only allows to bind the
   nf_logger to the protocol family from init_net and it skips
   other cases.

3) Adapt all nf_log_packet callers to pass netns as parameter.
   After this patch, this function only works for init_net.

4) Make the sysctl net/netfilter/nf_log pernet.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: speed up module removal path if netns in use

2013-03-19T16:08:31+00:00

The patch introduces nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list(), which cleanups
nf_conntrack for a list of netns and calls synchronize_net() only once
for them all. This should reduce netns destruction time.

I've measured cleanup time for 1k dummy net ns. Here are the results:

 
 # modprobe nf_conntrack
 # time modprobe -r nf_conntrack

 real	0m10.337s
 user	0m0.000s
 sys	0m0.376s

 
 # modprobe nf_conntrack
 # time modprobe -r nf_conntrack

 real    0m5.661s
 user    0m0.000s
 sys     0m0.216s

netfilter: nf_ct_helper: better logging for dropped packets

2013-02-19T01:48:05+00:00

Connection tracking helpers have to drop packets under exceptional
situations. Currently, the user gets the following logging message
in case that happens:

	nf_ct_%s: dropping packet ...

However, depending on the helper, there are different reasons why a
packet can be dropped.

This patch modifies the existing code to provide more specific
error message in the scope of each helper to help users to debug
the reason why the packet has been dropped, ie:

	nf_ct_%s: dropping packet: reason ...

Thanks to Joe Perches for many formatting suggestions.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
This batch contains netfilter updates for you net-next tree, they are:

* The new connlabel extension for x_tables, that allows us to attach
  labels to each conntrack flow. The kernel implementation uses a
  bitmask and there's a file in user-space that maps the bits with the
  corresponding string for each existing label. By now, you can attach
  up to 128 overlapping labels. From Florian Westphal.

* A new round of improvements for the netns support for conntrack.
  Gao feng has moved many of the initialization code of each module
  of the netns init path. He also made several code refactoring, that
  code looks cleaner to me now.

* Added documentation for all possible tweaks for nf_conntrack via
  sysctl, from Jiri Pirko.

* Cisco 7941/7945 IP phone support for our SIP conntrack helper,
  from Kevin Cernekee.

* Missing header file in the snmp helper, from Stephen Hemminger.

* Finally, a couple of fixes to resolve minor issues with these
  changes, from myself.
