When first_ip is 0, last_ip is 0xFFFFFFFF, and netmask is 31, the value of
an arithmetic expression 2 &lt;&lt; (netmask - mask_bits - 1) is subject
to overflow due to a failure casting operands to a larger data type
before performing the arithmetic.

Note that it's harmless since the value will be checked at the next step.

When adding/deleting large number of elements in one step in ipset, it can
take a reasonable amount of time and can result in soft lockup errors. The
patch 5f7b51bf09ba ("netfilter: ipset: Limit the maximal range of
consecutive elements to add/delete") tried to fix it by limiting the max
elements to process at all. However it was not enough, it is still possible
that we get hung tasks. Lowering the limit is not reasonable, so the
approach in this patch is as follows: rely on the method used at resizing
sets and save the state when we reach a smaller internal batch limit,
unlock/lock and proceed from the saved state. Thus we can avoid long
continuous tasks and at the same time removed the limit to add/delete large
number of elements in one step.

The nfnl mutex is held during the whole operation which prevents one to
issue other ipset commands in parallel.

The hash:net,port,net set type supports /0 subnets. However, the patch
commit 5f7b51bf09baca8e titled "netfilter: ipset: Limit the maximal range
of consecutive elements to add/delete" did not take into account it and
resulted in an endless loop. The bug is actually older but the patch
5f7b51bf09baca8e brings it out earlier.

Handle /0 subnets properly in hash:net,port,net set types.

<title>treewide: Convert del_timer*() to timer_shutdown*()</title>

<content type='text'>
Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are
shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added
called "shutdown".  After a timer is set to this state, then it can no
longer be re-armed.

The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where
del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the
object holding the timer is freed.  It also ignores any locations where
the timer-&gt;function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(),
as that is not considered a "trivial" case.

This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following
commands:

    $ cat timer.cocci
    @@
    expression ptr, slab;
    identifier timer, rfield;
    @@
    (
    -       del_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    |
    -       del_timer_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

1) Incorrect error check in nft_expr_inner_parse(), from Dan Carpenter.

2) Add DATA_SENT state to SCTP connection tracking helper, from
   Sriram Yagnaraman.

3) Consolidate nf_confirm for ipv4 and ipv6, from Florian Westphal.

4) Add bitmask support for ipset, from Vishwanath Pai.

5) Handle icmpv6 redirects as RELATED, from Florian Westphal.

6) Add WARN_ON_ONCE() to impossible case in flowtable datapath,
   from Li Qiong.

7) A large batch of IPVS updates to replace timer-based estimators by
   kthreads to scale up wrt. CPUs and workload (millions of estimators).

Julian Anastasov says:

	This patchset implements stats estimation in kthread context.
It replaces the code that runs on single CPU in timer context every 2
seconds and causing latency splats as shown in reports [1], [2], [3].
The solution targets setups with thousands of IPVS services,
destinations and multi-CPU boxes.

	Spread the estimation on multiple (configured) CPUs and multiple
time slots (timer ticks) by using multiple chains organized under RCU
rules.  When stats are not needed, it is recommended to use
run_estimation=0 as already implemented before this change.

RCU Locking:

- As stats are now RCU-locked, tot_stats, svc and dest which
hold estimator structures are now always freed from RCU
callback. This ensures RCU grace period after the
ip_vs_stop_estimator() call.

Kthread data:

- every kthread works over its own data structure and all
such structures are attached to array. For now we limit
kthreads depending on the number of CPUs.

- even while there can be a kthread structure, its task
may not be running, eg. before first service is added or
while the sysctl var is set to an empty cpulist or
when run_estimation is set to 0 to disable the estimation.

- the allocated kthread context may grow from 1 to 50
allocated structures for timer ticks which saves memory for
setups with small number of estimators

- a task and its structure may be released if all
estimators are unlinked from its chains, leaving the
slot in the array empty

- every kthread data structure allows limited number
of estimators. Kthread 0 is also used to initially
calculate the max number of estimators to allow in every
chain considering a sub-100 microsecond cond_resched
rate. This number can be from 1 to hundreds.

- kthread 0 has an additional job of optimizing the
adding of estimators: they are first added in
temp list (est_temp_list) and later kthread 0
distributes them to other kthreads. The optimization
is based on the fact that newly added estimator
should be estimated after 2 seconds, so we have the
time to offload the adding to chain from controlling
process to kthread 0.

- to add new estimators we use the last added kthread
context (est_add_ktid). The new estimators are linked to
the chains just before the estimated one, based on add_row.
This ensures their estimation will start after 2 seconds.
If estimators are added in bursts, common case if all
services and dests are initially configured, we may
spread the estimators to more chains and as result,
reducing the initial delay below 2 seconds.

Many thanks to Jiri Wiesner for his valuable comments
and for spending a lot of time reviewing and testing
the changes on different platforms with 48-256 CPUs and
1-8 NUMA nodes under different cpufreq governors.

The new IPVS estimators do not use workqueue infrastructure
because:

- The estimation can take long time when using multiple IPVS rules (eg.
  millions estimator structures) and especially when box has multiple
  CPUs due to the for_each_possible_cpu usage that expects packets from
  any CPU. With est_nice sysctl we have more control how to prioritize the
  estimation kthreads compared to other processes/kthreads that have
  latency requirements (such as servers). As a benefit, we can see these
  kthreads in top and decide if we will need some further control to limit
  their CPU usage (max number of structure to estimate per kthread).

- with kthreads we run code that is read-mostly, no write/lock
  operations to process the estimators in 2-second intervals.

- work items are one-shot: as estimators are processed every
  2 seconds, they need to be re-added every time. This again
  loads the timers (add_timer) if we use delayed works, as there are
  no kthreads to do the timings.

Add a new parameter to complement the existing 'netmask' option. The
main difference between netmask and bitmask is that bitmask takes any
arbitrary ip address as input, it does not have to be a valid netmask.

The name of the new parameter is 'bitmask'. This lets us mask out
arbitrary bits in the ip address, for example:
ipset create set1 hash:ip bitmask 255.128.255.0
ipset create set2 hash:ip,port family inet6 bitmask ffff::ff80

The commit 510841da1fcc ("netfilter: ipset: enforce documented limit to
prevent allocating huge memory") was too strict and prevented to add up to
64 clashing elements to a hash:net,iface type of set. This patch fixes the
issue and now the type behaves as documented.

This patch introduced a regression: commit 48596a8ddc46 ("netfilter:
ipset: Fix adding an IPv4 range containing more than 2^31 addresses")

The variable e.ip is passed to adtfn() function which finally adds the
ip address to the set. The patch above refactored the for loop and moved
e.ip = htonl(ip) to the end of the for loop.

What this means is that if the value of "ip" changes between the first
assignement of e.ip and the forloop, then e.ip is pointing to a
different ip address than "ip".

Test case:
$ ipset create jdtest_tmp hash:ip family inet hashsize 2048 maxelem 100000
$ ipset add jdtest_tmp 10.0.1.1/31
ipset v6.21.1: Element cannot be added to the set: it's already added

The value of ip gets updated inside the  "else if (tb[IPSET_ATTR_CIDR])"
block but e.ip is still pointing to the old value.

Daniel Xu reported that the hash:net,iface type of the ipset subsystem does
not limit adding the same network with different interfaces to a set, which
can lead to huge memory usage or allocation failure.

The quick reproducer is

$ ipset create ACL.IN.ALL_PERMIT hash:net,iface hashsize 1048576 timeout 0
$ for i in $(seq 0 100); do /sbin/ipset add ACL.IN.ALL_PERMIT 0.0.0.0/0,kaf_$i timeout 0 -exist; done

The backtrace when vmalloc fails:

        [Tue Oct 25 00:13:08 2022] ipset: vmalloc error: size 1073741848, exceeds total pages
        &lt;...&gt;

The fix is to enforce the limit documented in the ipset(8) manpage:

&gt;  network prefix cannot be stored with more than 64 different interfaces
&gt;  in a single set.
