netfilter: xtables: conntrack match revision 2

2009-06-29T12:31:46+00:00

As reported by Philip, the UNTRACKED state bit does not fit within
the 8-bit state_mask member. Enlarge state_mask and give status_mask
a few more bits too.

netfilter: passive OS fingerprint xtables match

2009-06-08T15:01:51+00:00

Passive OS fingerprinting netfilter module allows to passively detect
remote OS and perform various netfilter actions based on that knowledge.
This module compares some data (WS, MSS, options and it's order, ttl, df
and others) from packets with SYN bit set with dynamically loaded OS
fingerprints.

Fingerprint matching rules can be downloaded from OpenBSD source tree
or found in archive and loaded via netfilter netlink subsystem into
the kernel via special util found in archive.

Archive contains library file (also attached), which was shipped
with iptables extensions some time ago (at least when ipt_osf existed
in patch-o-matic).

Following changes were made in this release:
 * added NLM_F_CREATE/NLM_F_EXCL checks
 * dropped _rcu list traversing helpers in the protected add/remove calls
 * dropped unneded structures, debug prints, obscure comment and check

Fingerprints can be downloaded from
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/etc/pf.os
or can be found in archive

Example usage:
-d switch removes fingerprints

Please consider for inclusion.
Thank you.

netfilter: xt_NFQUEUE: queue balancing support

2009-06-05T11:24:24+00:00

Adds support for specifying a range of queues instead of a single queue
id. Flows will be distributed across the given range.

This is useful for multicore systems: Instead of having a single
application read packets from a queue, start multiple
instances on queues x, x+1, .. x+n. Each instance can process
flows independently.

Packets for the same connection are put into the same queue.

netfilter: conntrack: replace notify chain by function pointer

2009-06-03T08:32:06+00:00

This patch removes the notify chain infrastructure and replace it
by a simple function pointer. This issue has been mentioned in the
mailing list several times: the use of the notify chain adds
too much overhead for something that is only used by ctnetlink.

This patch also changes nfnetlink_send(). It seems that gfp_any()
returns GFP_KERNEL for user-context request, like those via
ctnetlink, inside the RCU read-side section which is not valid.
Using GFP_KERNEL is also evil since netlink may schedule(),
this leads to "scheduling while atomic" bug reports.

netfilter: conntrack: remove events flags from userspace exposed file

2009-06-02T18:08:44+00:00

This patch moves the event flags from linux/netfilter/nf_conntrack_common.h
to net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ecache.h. This flags are not of any use
from userspace.

netfilter: nf_ct_tcp: TCP simultaneous open support

2009-06-02T11:58:56+00:00

The patch below adds supporting TCP simultaneous open to conntrack. The
unused LISTEN state is replaced by a new state (SYN_SENT2) denoting the
second SYN sent from the reply direction in the new case. The state table
is updated and the function tcp_in_window is modified to handle
simultaneous open.

The functionality can fairly easily be tested by socat. A sample tcpdump
recording

and the corresponding netlink events:

The RST packet was dropped in the raw table, thus it did not reach
conntrack.  nfnetlink_conntrack is unpatched so it shows the new SYN_SENT2
state as the old unused LISTEN.

With TCP simultaneous open support we satisfy REQ-2 in RFC 5382  ;-) .

Additional minor correction in this patch is that in order to catch
uninitialized reply directions, "td_maxwin == 0" is used instead of
"td_end == 0" because the former can't be true except in uninitialized
state while td_end may accidentally be equal to zero in the mid of a
connection.
