netfilter: xt_recent: don't reject rule if new hitcount exceeds table max

2015-02-16T16:00:47+00:00

given:
-A INPUT -m recent --update --seconds 30 --hitcount 4
and
iptables-save > foo

then
iptables-restore < foo

will fail with:
kernel: xt_recent: hitcount (4) is larger than packets to be remembered (4) for table DEFAULT

Even when the check is fixed, the restore won't work if the hitcount is
increased to e.g. 6, since by the time checkentry runs it will find the
'old' incarnation of the table.

We can avoid this by increasing the maximum threshold silently; we only
have to rm all the current entries of the table (these entries would
not have enough room to handle the increased hitcount).

This even makes (not-very-useful)
-A INPUT -m recent --update --seconds 30 --hitcount 4
-A INPUT -m recent --update --seconds 30 --hitcount 42
work.

netfilter: xt_recent: relax ip_pkt_list_tot restrictions

2014-11-27T11:40:31+00:00

The maximum value for the hitcount parameter is given by
"ip_pkt_list_tot" parameter (default: 20).

Exceeding this value on the command line will cause the rule to be
rejected.  The parameter is also readonly, i.e. it cannot be changed
without module unload or reboot.

Store size per table, then base nstamps[] size on the hitcount instead.

The module parameter is retained for backwards compatibility.

procfs: new helper - PDE_DATA(inode)

2013-04-09T18:13:32+00:00

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
really cares about is PDE(inode)->data.  Provide a helper
for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
layout.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2013-02-27T04:16:07+00:00

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
 "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
  locking violations, etc.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

net: proc: change proc_net_remove to remove_proc_entry

2013-02-18T19:53:08+00:00

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries
that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for
removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove
some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still
need to call remove_proc_entry.

this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove.
we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

netfilter: xt_recent: avoid high order page allocations

2013-01-04T19:14:42+00:00

xt_recent can try high order page allocations and this can fail.

iptables: page allocation failure: order:9, mode:0xc0d0

It also wastes about half the allocated space because of kmalloc()
power-of-two roundups and struct recent_table layout.

Use vmalloc() instead to save space and be less prone to allocation
errors when memory is fragmented.
