commit 9d5c12a7c08f67999772065afd50fb222072114e upstream.

This is a very conservative limit (134217728 rules), but good
enough to not trigger frequent oom from syzkaller.

commit 7d7d7e02111e9a4dc9d0658597f528f815d820fd upstream.

no need to bother even trying to allocating huge compat offset arrays,
such ruleset is rejected later on anyway becaus we refuse to allocate
overly large rule blobs.

However, compat translation happens before blob allocation, so we should
add a check there too.

This is supposed to help with fuzzing by avoiding oom-killer.

commit 19926968ea86a286aa6fbea16ee3f2e7442f10f0 upstream.

Arbitrary limit, however, this still allows huge rulesets
(&gt; 1 million rules).  This helps with automated fuzzer as it prevents
oom-killer invocation.

The netfilter netdevice event handler hold the nfnl_lock mutex, this
avoids races with a device going away while such device is being
attached to hooks from the netlink control plane. Therefore, either
control plane bails out with ENOENT or netdevice event path waits until
the hook that is attached to net_device is registered.

Devices going away have to grab the nfnl_lock from the netdev event path
to avoid races with control plane updates.

However, netlink dumps in netfilter do not hold nfnl_lock mutex. Cache
the device name into the objects to avoid an use-after-free situation
for a device that is going away.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: permit second nat hook if colliding hook is going away</title>

Sergei Trofimovich reported that restoring an nft ruleset doesn't work
anymore unless old rule content is flushed first.

The problem stems from a recent change designed to prevent multiple nat
hooks at the same hook point locations and nftables transaction model.

A 'flush ruleset' won't take effect until the entire transaction has
completed.

So, if one has a nft.rules file that contains a 'flush ruleset',
followed by a nat hook register request, then 'nft -f file' will work,
but running 'nft -f file' again will fail with -EBUSY.

Reason is that nftables will place the flush/removal requests in the
transaction list, but it will not act on the removal until after all new
rules are in place.

The netfilter core will therefore get request to register a new nat
hook before the old one is removed -- this now fails as the netfilter
core can't know the existing hook is staged for removal.

To fix this, we can search the transaction log when a hook collision
is detected.  The collision is okay if

 1. there is a delete request pending for the nat hook that is already
    registered.
 2. there is no second add request for a matching nat hook.
    This is required to only apply the exception once.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: meter: pick a set backend that supports updates</title>

in nftables, 'meter' can be used to instantiate a hash-table at run
time:

rule add filter forward iif "internal" meter hostacct { ip saddr counter}
nft list meter ip filter hostacct
table ip filter {
  meter hostacct {
    type ipv4_addr
    elements = { 192.168.0.1 : counter packets 8 bytes 2672, ..

because elemets get added on the fly, the kernel must chose a set
backend type that implements the -&gt;update() function, otherwise
rule insertion fails with EOPNOTSUPP.

Therefore, skip set types that lack -&gt;update, and also
make sure we do not discard a (bad) candidate when we did yet
find any candidate at all.  This could happen when userspace prefers
low memory footprint -- the set implementation currently checked might
not be a fit at all.  Make sure we pick it anyway (!bops).  In
case next candidate is a better fix, it will be chosen instead.

But in case nothing else is found we at least have a non-ideal
match rather than no match at all.
