[ Upstream commit 5648b5e1169ff1d6d6a46c35c0b5fbebd2a5cbb2 ]

On 64bit platforms the MAC header is set to 0xffff on allocation and
also when a helper like skb_unset_mac_header() is called.

dev_parse_header may call skb_mac_header() which assumes valid mac offset:

Relax this condition to make add and update commands idempotent for sets
with no timeout. The eval function already checks if the set element
timeout is available and updates it if the update command is used.

[ Upstream commit b7b1d02fc43925a4d569ec221715db2dfa1ce4f5 ]

The internal stream state sets the timeout to 120 seconds 2 seconds
after the creation of the flow, attach this internal stream state to the
IPS_ASSURED flag for consistent event reporting.

Before this patch:

      [NEW] udp      17 30 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 [UNREPLIED] src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282
   [UPDATE] udp      17 30 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282
   [UPDATE] udp      17 30 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282 [ASSURED]
  [DESTROY] udp      17 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282 [ASSURED]

Note IPS_ASSURED for the flow not yet in the internal stream state.

after this update:

      [NEW] udp      17 30 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 [UNREPLIED] src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282

   [UPDATE] udp      17 120 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282 [ASSURED]

Before this patch, short-lived UDP flows never entered IPS_ASSURED, so
they were already candidate flow to be deleted by early_drop under
stress.

Before this patch, IPS_ASSURED is set on regardless the internal stream
state, attach this internal stream state to IPS_ASSURED.

packet #1 (original direction) enters NEW state
packet #2 (reply direction) enters ESTABLISHED state, sets on IPS_SEEN_REPLY
paclet #3 (any direction) sets on IPS_ASSURED (if 2 seconds since the
          creation has passed by).

Problem is that when netns device exit hooks create the UNREGISTER
event, the .pre_exit hook for nf_tables core has already removed the
base hook.  Notifier attempts to do this again.

The need to do base hook unregister unconditionally was needed in the past,
because notifier was last stage where reg-&gt;dev dereference was safe.

Now that nf_tables does the hook removal in .pre_exit, this isn't
needed anymore.

[ Upstream commit 902c0b1887522a099aa4e1e6b4b476c2fe5dd13e ]

Currently, when the rule related to IDLETIMER is added, idletimer_tg timer
structure is initialized by kmalloc on executing idletimer_tg_create
function. However, in this process timer-&gt;timer_type is not defined to
a specific value. Thus, timer-&gt;timer_type has garbage value and it occurs
kernel panic. So, this commit fixes the panic by initializing
timer-&gt;timer_type using kzalloc instead of kmalloc.

Test commands:
    # iptables -A OUTPUT -j IDLETIMER --timeout 1 --label test
    $ cat /sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/test
      Killed

Splat looks like:

[ Upstream commit 902c0b1887522a099aa4e1e6b4b476c2fe5dd13e ]

Currently, when the rule related to IDLETIMER is added, idletimer_tg timer
structure is initialized by kmalloc on executing idletimer_tg_create
function. However, in this process timer-&gt;timer_type is not defined to
a specific value. Thus, timer-&gt;timer_type has garbage value and it occurs
kernel panic. So, this commit fixes the panic by initializing
timer-&gt;timer_type using kzalloc instead of kmalloc.

Test commands:
    # iptables -A OUTPUT -j IDLETIMER --timeout 1 --label test
    $ cat /sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/test
      Killed

Splat looks like:

[ Upstream commit 7970a19b71044bf4dc2c1becc200275bdf1884d4 ]

The ipv4 and device notifiers are called with RTNL mutex held.
The table walk can take some time, better not block other RTNL users.

'ip a' has been reported to block for up to 20 seconds when conntrack table
has many entries and device down events are frequent (e.g., PPP).

<title>netfilter: nf_nat_masquerade: make async masq_inet6_event handling generic</title>

[ Upstream commit 30db406923b9285a9bac06a6af5e74bd6d0f1d06 ]

masq_inet6_event is called asynchronously from system work queue,
because the inet6 notifier is atomic and nf_iterate_cleanup can sleep.

The ipv4 and device notifiers call nf_iterate_cleanup directly.

This is legal, but these notifiers are called with RTNL mutex held.
A large conntrack table with many devices coming and going will have severe
impact on the system usability, with 'ip a' blocking for several seconds.

This change places the defer code into a helper and makes it more
generic so ipv4 and ifdown notifiers can be converted to defer the
cleanup walk as well in a follow patch.
