ipv6: distinguish frag queues by device for multicast and link-local packets

2016-01-23T04:34:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 264640fc2c5f4f913db5c73fa3eb1ead2c45e9d7 ]

If a fragmented multicast packet is received on an ethernet device which
has an active macvlan on top of it, each fragment is duplicated and
received both on the underlying device and the macvlan. If some
fragments for macvlan are processed before the whole packet for the
underlying device is reassembled, the "overlapping fragments" test in
ip6_frag_queue() discards the whole fragment queue.

To resolve this, add device ifindex to the search key and require it to
match reassembling multicast packets and packets to link-local
addresses.

Note: similar patch has been already submitted by Yoshifuji Hideaki in

but got lost and forgotten for some reason.

netfilter: Can't fail and free after table replacement

2014-05-31T20:20:28+00:00

commit c58dd2dd443c26d856a168db108a0cd11c285bf3 upstream.

All xtables variants suffer from the defect that the copy_to_user()
to copy the counters to user memory may fail after the table has
already been exchanged and thus exposed. Return an error at this
point will result in freeing the already exposed table. Any
subsequent packet processing will result in a kernel panic.

We can't copy the counters before exposing the new tables as we
want provide the counter state after the old table has been
unhooked. Therefore convert this into a silent error.

netfilter: nf_tables: add reject module for NFPROTO_INET

2014-02-06T08:44:18+00:00

Add a reject module for NFPROTO_INET. It does nothing but dispatch
to the AF-specific modules based on the hook family.

netfilter: nft_reject: split up reject module into IPv4 and IPv6 specifc parts

2014-02-06T08:44:10+00:00

Currently the nft_reject module depends on symbols from ipv6. This is
wrong since no generic module should force IPv6 support to be loaded.
Split up the module into AF-specific and a generic part.

netfilter: nf_tables: fix error path in the init functions

2014-01-09T22:25:48+00:00

We have to unregister chain type if this fails to register netns.

netfilter: nf_tables: rename nft_do_chain_pktinfo() to nft_do_chain()

2014-01-09T19:17:16+00:00

We don't encode argument types into function names and since besides
nft_do_chain() there are only AF-specific versions, there is no risk
of confusion.

netfilter: nf_tables: minor nf_chain_type cleanups

2014-01-09T19:17:15+00:00

Minor nf_chain_type cleanups:

- reorder struct to plug a hoe
- rename struct module member to "owner" for consistency
- rename nf_hookfn array to "hooks" for consistency
- reorder initializers for better readability

netfilter: nf_tables: add missing module references to chain types

2014-01-09T19:17:14+00:00

In some cases we neither take a reference to the AF info nor to the
chain type, allowing the module to be unloaded while in use.
