<title>ipvs: remove IPS_NAT_MASK check to fix passive FTP</title>

<id>8a949fff0302b50063f74bb345a66190015528d0</id>
<content type='text'>
The IPS_NAT_MASK check in 4.12 replaced previous check for nfct_nat()
which was needed to fix a crash in 2.6.36-rc, see
commit 7bcbf81a2296 ("ipvs: avoid oops for passive FTP").
But as IPVS does not set the IPS_SRC_NAT and IPS_DST_NAT bits,
checking for IPS_NAT_MASK prevents PASV response to be properly
mangled and blocks the transfer. Remove the check as it is not
needed after 3.12 commit 41d73ec053d2 ("netfilter: nf_conntrack:
make sequence number adjustments usuable without NAT") which
changes nfct_nat() with nfct_seqadj() and especially after 3.13
commit b25adce16064 ("ipvs: correct usage/allocation of seqadj
ext in ipvs").

Thanks to Li Shuang and Florian Westphal for reporting the problem!

/proc has been ignoring struct file_operations::owner field for 10 years.
Specifically, it started with commit 786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba
("Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries"). Notice the chunk where
inode-&gt;i_fop is initialized with proxy struct file_operations for
regular files:

	-               if (de-&gt;proc_fops)
	-                       inode-&gt;i_fop = de-&gt;proc_fops;
	+               if (de-&gt;proc_fops) {
	+                       if (S_ISREG(inode-&gt;i_mode))
	+                               inode-&gt;i_fop = &amp;proc_reg_file_ops;
	+                       else
	+                               inode-&gt;i_fop = de-&gt;proc_fops;
	+               }

VFS stopped pinning module at this point.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Yet another big pile of changes:

   - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
     need to think about the syscalls themself.

   - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
     only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
     than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
     multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
     time at the call site.

   - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
     work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.

   - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
     collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
     simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
     trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
     unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.

   - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.

   - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
     hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
     seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
     No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.

   - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
     really exciting"

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to
all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer()
to pass the timer pointer explicitly.

Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next
tree, they are:

1) Speed up table replacement on busy systems with large tables
   (and many cores) in x_tables. Now xt_replace_table() synchronizes by
   itself by waiting until all cpus had an even seqcount and we use no
   use seqlock when fetching old counters, from Florian Westphal.

2) Add nf_l4proto_log_invalid() and nf_ct_l4proto_log_invalid() to speed
   up packet processing in the fast path when logging is not enabled, from
   Florian Westphal.

3) Precompute masked address from configuration plane in xt_connlimit,
   from Florian.

4) Don't use explicit size for set selection if performance set policy
   is selected.

5) Allow to get elements from an existing set in nf_tables.

6) Fix incorrect check in nft_hash_deactivate(), from Florian.

7) Cache netlink attribute size result in l4proto-&gt;nla_size, from
   Florian.

8) Handle NFPROTO_INET in nf_ct_netns_get() from conntrack core.

9) Use power efficient workqueue in conntrack garbage collector, from
   Vincent Guittot.

10) Remove unnecessary parameter, in conntrack l4proto functions, also
    from Florian.

11) Constify struct nf_conntrack_l3proto definitions, from Florian.

12) Remove all typedefs in nf_conntrack_h323 via coccinelle semantic
    patch, from Harsha Sharma.

13) Don't store address in the rbtree nodes in xt_connlimit, they are
    never used, from Florian.

14) Fix out of bound access in the conntrack h323 helper, patch from
    Eric Sesterhenn.

15) Print symbols for the address returned with %pS in IPVS, from
    Helge Deller.

16) Proc output should only display its own netns in IPVS, from
    KUWAZAWA Takuya.

17) Small clean up in size_entry_mwt(), from Colin Ian King.

18) Use test_and_clear_bit from nf_nat_proto_clean() instead of separated
    non-atomic test and then clear bit, from Florian Westphal.

19) Consolidate prefix length maps in ipset, from Aaron Conole.

20) Fix sparse warnings in ipset, from Jozsef Kadlecsik.

21) Simplify list_set_memsize(), from simran singhal.
