[ Upstream commit c0391b6ab810381df632677a1dcbbbbd63d05b6d ]

If userspace does not include the trailing end of batch message, then
nfnetlink aborts the transaction. This allows to check that ruleset
updates trigger no errors.

After this patch, invoking this command from the prerouting chain:

 # nft -c add rule x y fib saddr . oif type local

fails since oif is not supported there.

This patch fixes the lack of rule validation from the abort/check path
to catch configuration errors such as the one above.

[ Upstream commit cc5453a5b7e90c39f713091a7ebc53c1f87d1700 ]

If an sctp connection gets re-used, heartbeats are flagged as invalid
because their vtag doesn't match.

Handle this in a similar way as TCP conntrack when it suspects that the
endpoints and conntrack are out-of-sync.

When a HEARTBEAT request fails its vtag validation, flag this in the
conntrack state and accept the packet.

When a HEARTBEAT_ACK is received with an invalid vtag in the reverse
direction after we allowed such a HEARTBEAT through, assume we are
out-of-sync and re-set the vtag info.

v2: remove left-over snippet from an older incarnation that moved
    new_state/old_state assignments, thats not needed so keep that
    as-is.

[ Upstream commit ee921183557af39c1a0475f982d43b0fcac25e2e ]

Frontend callback reports EAGAIN to nfnetlink to retry a command, this
is used to signal that module autoloading is required. Unfortunately,
nlmsg_unicast() reports EAGAIN in case the receiver socket buffer gets
full, so it enters a busy-loop.

This patch updates nfnetlink_unicast() to turn EAGAIN into ENOBUFS and
to use nlmsg_unicast(). Remove the flags field in nfnetlink_unicast()
since this is always MSG_DONTWAIT in the existing code which is exactly
what nlmsg_unicast() passes to netlink_unicast() as parameter.

commit f66ee0410b1c3481ee75e5db9b34547b4d582465 upstream.

In the case of huge hash:* types of sets, due to the single spinlock of
a set the processing of the whole set under spinlock protection could take
too long.

There were four places where the whole hash table of the set was processed
from bucket to bucket under holding the spinlock:

- During resizing a set, the original set was locked to exclude kernel side
  add/del element operations (userspace add/del is excluded by the
  nfnetlink mutex). The original set is actually just read during the
  resize, so the spinlocking is replaced with rcu locking of regions.
  However, thus there can be parallel kernel side add/del of entries.
  In order not to loose those operations a backlog is added and replayed
  after the successful resize.
- Garbage collection of timed out entries was also protected by the spinlock.
  In order not to lock too long, region locking is introduced and a single
  region is processed in one gc go. Also, the simple timer based gc running
  is replaced with a workqueue based solution. The internal book-keeping
  (number of elements, size of extensions) is moved to region level due to
  the region locking.
- Adding elements: when the max number of the elements is reached, the gc
  was called to evict the timed out entries. The new approach is that the gc
  is called just for the matching region, assuming that if the region
  (proportionally) seems to be full, then the whole set does. We could scan
  the other regions to check every entry under rcu locking, but for huge
  sets it'd mean a slowdown at adding elements.
- Listing the set header data: when the set was defined with timeout
  support, the garbage collector was called to clean up timed out entries
  to get the correct element numbers and set size values. Now the set is
  scanned to check non-timed out entries, without actually calling the gc
  for the whole set.

Thanks to Florian Westphal for helping me to solve the SOFTIRQ-safe -&gt;
SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order issues during working on the patch.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: autoload modules from the abort path</title>

commit eb014de4fd418de1a277913cba244e47274fe392 upstream.

This patch introduces a list of pending module requests. This new module
list is composed of nft_module_request objects that contain the module
name and one status field that tells if the module has been already
loaded (the 'done' field).

In the first pass, from the preparation phase, the netlink command finds
that a module is missing on this list. Then, a module request is
allocated and added to this list and nft_request_module() returns
-EAGAIN. This triggers the abort path with the autoload parameter set on
from nfnetlink, request_module() is called and the module request enters
the 'done' state. Since the mutex is released when loading modules from
the abort phase, the module list is zapped so this is iteration occurs
over a local list. Therefore, the request_module() calls happen when
object lists are in consistent state (after fulling aborting the
transaction) and the commit list is empty.

On the second pass, the netlink command will find that it already tried
to load the module, so it does not request it again and
nft_request_module() returns 0. Then, there is a look up to find the
object that the command was missing. If the module was successfully
loaded, the command proceeds normally since it finds the missing object
in place, otherwise -ENOENT is reported to userspace.

This patch also updates nfnetlink to include the reason to enter the
abort phase, which is required for this new autoload module rationale.

commit 32c72165dbd0e246e69d16a3ad348a4851afd415 upstream.

The bitmap allocation did not use full unsigned long sizes
when calculating the required size and that was triggered by KASAN
as slab-out-of-bounds read in several places. The patch fixes all
of them.

`struct nf_hook_ops`, `struct nf_hook_state` and the `nf_hookfn`
function typedef appear in function and struct declarations and
definitions in a number of netfilter headers.  The structs and typedef
themselves are defined by linux/netfilter.h but only when
CONFIG_NETFILTER is enabled.  Define them unconditionally and add
forward declarations in order to remove CONFIG_NETFILTER conditionals
from the other headers.

Move some `struct nf_conntrack` code from linux/skbuff.h to
linux/nf_conntrack_common.h.  Together with a couple of helpers for
getting and setting skb-&gt;_nfct, it allows us to remove
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK checks from net/netfilter/nf_conntrack.h.
