[ Upstream commit 4b86c459c7bee3acaf92f0e2b4c6ac803eaa1a58 ]

Commit 4dee62b1b9b4 ("netfilter: nf_ct_expect: nf_ct_expect_insert()
returns void") inadvertently changed the successful return value of
nf_ct_expect_related_report() from 0 to 1 due to
__nf_ct_expect_check() returning 1 on success.  Prevent this
regression in the future by changing the return value of
__nf_ct_expect_check() to 0 on success.

[ Upstream commit ae5c682113f9f94cc5e76f92cf041ee624c173ee ]

The helper-&gt;expect_class_max must be set to the total number of
expect_policy minus 1, since we will use the statement "if (class &gt;
helper-&gt;expect_class_max)" to validate the CTA_EXPECT_CLASS attr in
ctnetlink_alloc_expect.

So for compatibility, set the helper-&gt;expect_class_max to the
NFCTH_POLICY_SET_NUM attr's value minus 1.

Also: it's invalid when the NFCTH_POLICY_SET_NUM attr's value is zero.
1. this will result "expect_policy = kzalloc(0, GFP_KERNEL);";
2. we cannot set the helper-&gt;expect_class_max to a proper value.

So if nla_get_be32(tb[NFCTH_POLICY_SET_NUM]) is zero, report -EINVAL to
the userspace.

<title>netfilter: invoke synchronize_rcu after set the _hook_ to NULL</title>

[ Upstream commit 3b7dabf029478bb80507a6c4500ca94132a2bc0b ]

Otherwise, another CPU may access the invalid pointer. For example:
    CPU0                CPU1
     -              rcu_read_lock();
     -              pfunc = _hook_;
  _hook_ = NULL;          -
  mod unload              -
     -                 pfunc(); // invalid, panic
     -             rcu_read_unlock();

So we must call synchronize_rcu() to wait the rcu reader to finish.

Also note, in nf_nat_snmp_basic_fini, synchronize_rcu() will be invoked
by later nf_conntrack_helper_unregister, but I'm inclined to add a
explicit synchronize_rcu after set the nf_nat_snmp_hook to NULL. Depend
on such obscure assumptions is not a good idea.

Last, in nfnetlink_cttimeout, we use kfree_rcu to free the time object,
so in cttimeout_exit, invoking rcu_barrier() is not necessary at all,
remove it too.

<title>netfilter: nf_ct_ext: fix possible panic after nf_ct_extend_unregister</title>

<id>5776984fafdc8b18fb6ddd8264e6cc274b8ef349</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 9c3f3794926a997b1cab6c42480ff300efa2d162 upstream.

If one cpu is doing nf_ct_extend_unregister while another cpu is doing
__nf_ct_ext_add_length, then we may hit BUG_ON(t == NULL). Moreover,
there's no synchronize_rcu invocation after set nf_ct_ext_types[id] to
NULL, so it's possible that we may access invalid pointer.

But actually, most of the ct extends are built-in, so the problem listed
above will not happen. However, there are two exceptions: NF_CT_EXT_NAT
and NF_CT_EXT_SYNPROXY.

For _EXT_NAT, the panic will not happen, since adding the nat extend and
unregistering the nat extend are located in the same file(nf_nat_core.c),
this means that after the nat module is removed, we cannot add the nat
extend too.

For _EXT_SYNPROXY, synproxy extend may be added by init_conntrack, while
synproxy extend unregister will be done by synproxy_core_exit. So after
nf_synproxy_core.ko is removed, we may still try to add the synproxy
extend, then kernel panic may happen.

I know it's very hard to reproduce this issue, but I can play a tricky
game to make it happen very easily :)

Step 1. Enable SYNPROXY for tcp dport 1234 at FORWARD hook:
  # iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp --dport 1234 -j SYNPROXY
Step 2. Queue the syn packet to the userspace at raw table OUTPUT hook.
        Also note, in the userspace we only add a 20s' delay, then
        reinject the syn packet to the kernel:
  # iptables -t raw -I OUTPUT -p tcp --syn -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 1
Step 3. Using "nc 2.2.2.2 1234" to connect the server.
Step 4. Now remove the nf_synproxy_core.ko quickly:
  # iptables -F FORWARD
  # rmmod ipt_SYNPROXY
  # rmmod nf_synproxy_core
Step 5. After 20s' delay, the syn packet is reinjected to the kernel.

Now you will see the panic like this:
  kernel BUG at net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_extend.c:91!
  Call Trace:
   ? __nf_ct_ext_add_length+0x53/0x3c0 [nf_conntrack]
   init_conntrack+0x12b/0x600 [nf_conntrack]
   nf_conntrack_in+0x4cc/0x580 [nf_conntrack]

   ? nla_parse+0xa0/0x100
   nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x175/0x6a9 [nfnetlink]
   [...]

One possible solution is to make NF_CT_EXT_SYNPROXY extend built-in, i.e.
introduce nf_conntrack_synproxy.c and only do ct extend register and
unregister in it, similar to nf_conntrack_timeout.c.

But having such a obscure restriction of nf_ct_extend_unregister is not a
good idea, so we should invoke synchronize_rcu after set nf_ct_ext_types
to NULL, and check the NULL pointer when do __nf_ct_ext_add_length. Then
it will be easier if we add new ct extend in the future.

Last, we use kfree_rcu to free nf_ct_ext, so rcu_barrier() is unnecessary
anymore, remove it too.

commit 87e94dbc210a720a34be5c1174faee5c84be963e upstream.

This patch fixes the creation of connection tracking entry from
netlink when synproxy is used. It was missing the addition of
the synproxy extension.

This was causing kernel crashes when a conntrack entry created by
conntrackd was used after the switch of traffic from active node
to the passive node.

Denys provided an awesome KASAN report pointing to an use
after free in xt_TCPMSS

I have provided three patches to fix this issue, either in xt_TCPMSS or
in xt_tcpudp.c. It seems xt_TCPMSS patch has the smallest possible
impact.

commit c1f866767777d1c6abae0ec57effffcb72017c00 upstream.

More recent GCC warns about two kinds of switch statement uses:

1) Switching on an enumeration, but not having an explicit case
   statement for all members of the enumeration.  To show the
   compiler this is intentional, we simply add a default case
   with nothing more than a break statement.

2) Switching on a boolean value.  I think this warning is dumb
   but nevertheless you get it wholesale with -Wswitch.

This patch cures all such warnings in netfilter.

<title>netfilter: x_tables: speed up jump target validation</title>

[ Upstream commit f4dc77713f8016d2e8a3295e1c9c53a21f296def ]

The dummy ruleset I used to test the original validation change was broken,
most rules were unreachable and were not tested by mark_source_chains().

In some cases rulesets that used to load in a few seconds now require
several minutes.

sample ruleset that shows the behaviour:

echo "*filter"
for i in $(seq 0 100000);do
        printf ":chain_%06x - [0:0]\n" $i
done
for i in $(seq 0 100000);do
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
done
echo COMMIT

[ pipe result into iptables-restore ]

This ruleset will be about 74mbyte in size, with ~500k searches
though all 500k[1] rule entries. iptables-restore will take forever
(gave up after 10 minutes)

Instead of always searching the entire blob for a match, fill an
array with the start offsets of every single ipt_entry struct,
then do a binary search to check if the jump target is present or not.

After this change ruleset restore times get again close to what one
gets when reverting 36472341017529e (~3 seconds on my workstation).

[1] every user-defined rule gets an implicit RETURN, so we get
300k jumps + 100k userchains + 100k returns -&gt; 500k rule entries

Fixes: 36472341017529e ("netfilter: x_tables: validate targets of jumps")

[ Upstream commit d7591f0c41ce3e67600a982bab6989ef0f07b3ce ]

The three variants use same copy&amp;pasted code, condense this into a
helper and use that.

Make sure info.name is 0-terminated.
