<content type='text'>
commit b1a5983f56e371046dcf164f90bfaf704d2b89f6 upstream.

immediate verdict expression needs to allocate one slot in the flow offload
action array, however, immediate data expression does not need to do so.

fwd and dup expression need to allocate one slot, this is missing.

Add a new offload_action interface to report if this expression needs to
allocate one slot in the flow offload action array.

Fixes: be2861dc36d7 ("netfilter: nft_{fwd,dup}_netdev: add offload support")

commit 802a7dc5cf1bef06f7b290ce76d478138408d6b1 upstream.

(struct nf_conn)-&gt;timeout can be read/written locklessly,
add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to prevent load/store tearing.

This is a revert of
7b1957b049 ("netfilter: nf_defrag_ipv4: use net_generic infra")
and a partial revert of
8b0adbe3e3 ("netfilter: nf_defrag_ipv6: use net_generic infra").

If conntrack is builtin and kernel is booted with:
nf_conntrack.enable_hooks=1

.... kernel will fail to boot due to a NULL deref in
nf_defrag_ipv4_enable(): Its called before the ipv4 defrag initcall is
made, so net_generic() returns NULL.

To resolve this, move the user refcount back to struct net so calls
to those functions are possible even before their initcalls have run.

This patch introduces netfilter hooks for solving the problem that
conntrack couldn't record both inner flows and outer flows.

This patch also introduces a new sysctl toggle for enabling lightweight
tunnel netfilter hooks.

Reuse the conntrack event notofier struct, this allows to remove the
extra register/unregister functions and avoids a pointer in struct net.

This prepares for merge for ct and exp notifier structs.

The 'fcn' member is renamed to something unique.
Second, the register/unregister api is simplified.  There is only
one implementation so there is no need to do any error checking.

Replace the EBUSY logic with WARN_ON_ONCE.  This allows to remove
error unwinding.

The exp notifier register/unregister function is removed in
a followup patch.

nf_conntrack_eventmask_report and nf_ct_deliver_cached_events shared
most of their code.  This unifies the layout by changing

 if (nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct)) {
   foo
 }

 to
 if (!nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct)))
   return
 foo

This removes one level of indentation.

This was done to detect when the pernet-&gt;init() function was not called
yet, by checking if net-&gt;nf.queue_handler is NULL.

Once the nfnetlink_queue module is active, all struct net pointers
contain the same address.  So place this back in nf_queue.c.

Handle the 'netns error unwind' test by checking nfnl_queue_net for a
NULL pointer and add a comment for this.

<title>netfilter: conntrack: nf_ct_gre_keymap_flush() removal</title>

nf_ct_gre_keymap_flush() is useless.
It is called from nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() only and tries to remove
nf_ct_gre_keymap entries from pernet gre keymap list. Though:
a) at this point the list should already be empty, all its entries were
deleted during the conntracks cleanup, because
nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() executes nf_ct_iterate_cleanup(kill_all)
before nf_conntrack_proto_pernet_fini():
 nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list
  +- nf_ct_iterate_cleanup
  |   nf_ct_put
  |    nf_conntrack_put
  |     nf_conntrack_destroy
  |      destroy_conntrack
  |       destroy_gre_conntrack
  |        nf_ct_gre_keymap_destroy
  `- nf_conntrack_proto_pernet_fini
      nf_ct_gre_keymap_flush

b) Let's say we find that the keymap list is not empty. This means netns
still has a conntrack associated with gre, in which case we should not free
its memory, because this will lead to a double free and related crashes.
However I doubt it could have gone unnoticed for years, obviously
this does not happen in real life. So I think we can remove
both nf_ct_gre_keymap_flush() and nf_conntrack_proto_pernet_fini().
