[ Upstream commit 6c1f7e2c1b96ab9b09ac97c4df2bd9dc327206f6 ]

Shijie Luo reported that when stress-testing ipset with multiple concurrent
create, rename, flush, list, destroy commands, it can result

ipset &lt;version&gt;: Broken LIST kernel message: missing DATA part!

error messages and broken list results. The problem was the rename operation
was not properly handled with respect of listing. The patch fixes the issue.

<title>netfilter: ipset: Copy the right MAC address in bitmap:ip,mac and hash:ip,mac sets</title>

[ Upstream commit 1b4a75108d5bc153daf965d334e77e8e94534f96 ]

In commit 8cc4ccf58379 ("ipset: Allow matching on destination MAC address
for mac and ipmac sets"), ipset.git commit 1543514c46a7, I added to the
KADT functions for sets matching on MAC addreses the copy of source or
destination MAC address depending on the configured match.

This was done correctly for hash:mac, but for hash:ip,mac and
bitmap:ip,mac, copying and pasting the same code block presents an
obvious problem: in these two set types, the MAC address is the second
dimension, not the first one, and we are actually selecting the MAC
address depending on whether the first dimension (IP address) specifies
source or destination.

Fix this by checking for the IPSET_DIM_TWO_SRC flag in option flags.

This way, mixing source and destination matches for the two dimensions
of ip,mac set types works as expected. With this setup:

  ip netns add A
  ip link add veth1 type veth peer name veth2 netns A
  ip addr add 192.0.2.1/24 dev veth1
  ip -net A addr add 192.0.2.2/24 dev veth2
  ip link set veth1 up
  ip -net A link set veth2 up

  dst=$(ip netns exec A cat /sys/class/net/veth2/address)

  ip netns exec A ipset create test_bitmap bitmap:ip,mac range 192.0.0.0/16
  ip netns exec A ipset add test_bitmap 192.0.2.1,${dst}
  ip netns exec A iptables -A INPUT -m set ! --match-set test_bitmap src,dst -j DROP

  ip netns exec A ipset create test_hash hash:ip,mac
  ip netns exec A ipset add test_hash 192.0.2.1,${dst}
  ip netns exec A iptables -A INPUT -m set ! --match-set test_hash src,dst -j DROP

ipset correctly matches a test packet:

  # ping -c1 192.0.2.2 &gt;/dev/null
  # echo $?
  0

KADT check that prevents matching on destination MAC addresses for
hash:mac sets, but forgot to remove the same check for hash:ip,mac set.

Drop this check: functionality is now commented in man pages and there's
no reason to restrict to source MAC address matching anymore.

<title>netfilter: conntrack: Use consistent ct id hash calculation</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 656c8e9cc1badbc18eefe6ba01d33ebbcae61b9a upstream.

Change ct id hash calculation to only use invariants.

Currently the ct id hash calculation is based on some fields that can
change in the lifetime on a conntrack entry in some corner cases. The
current hash uses the whole tuple which contains an hlist pointer which
will change when the conntrack is placed on the dying list resulting in
a ct id change.

This patch also removes the reply-side tuple and extension pointer from
the hash calculation so that the ct id will will not change from
initialization until confirmation.

Trying to create an inet family nat chain would not cause
nft_chain_nat.ko module to auto-load due to missing module alias. Add a
proper one with hard-coded family value 1 for the pseudo-family
NFPROTO_INET.

The rule below doesn't work as the kernel raises -ERANGE.

nft add rule netdev nftlb lb01 ip daddr set \
	symhash mod 1 map { 0 : 192.168.0.10 } fwd to "eth0"

This patch allows to use the symhash modulus with one
element, in the same way that the other types of hashes and
algorithms that uses the modulus parameter.

[ Upstream commit 959b69ef57db00cb33e9c4777400ae7183ebddd3 ]

Jakub Jankowski reported following oddity:

After 3 way handshake completes, timeout of new connection is set to
max_retrans (300s) instead of established (5 days).

shortened excerpt from pcap provided:
25.070622 IP (flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 52)
10.8.5.4.1025 &gt; 10.8.1.2.80: Flags [S], seq 11, win 64240, [wscale 8]
26.070462 IP (flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 48)
10.8.1.2.80 &gt; 10.8.5.4.1025: Flags [S.], seq 82, ack 12, win 65535, [wscale 3]
27.070449 IP (flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 40)
10.8.5.4.1025 &gt; 10.8.1.2.80: Flags [.], ack 83, win 512, length 0

Turns out the last_win is of u16 type, but we store the scaled value:
512 &lt;&lt; 8 (== 0x20000) becomes 0 window.

The Fixes tag is not correct, as the bug has existed forever, but
without that change all that this causes might cause is to mistake a
window update (to-nonzero-from-zero) for a retransmit.

[ Upstream commit 1b0890cd60829bd51455dc5ad689ed58c4408227 ]

Thomas and Juliana report a deadlock when running:

(rmmod nf_conntrack_netlink/xfrm_user)

  conntrack -e NEW -E &amp;
  modprobe -v xfrm_user

They provided following analysis:

conntrack -e NEW -E
    netlink_bind()
        netlink_lock_table() -&gt; increases "nl_table_users"
            nfnetlink_bind()
            # does not unlock the table as it's locked by netlink_bind()
                __request_module()
                    call_usermodehelper_exec()

This triggers "modprobe nf_conntrack_netlink" from kernel, netlink_bind()
won't return until modprobe process is done.

"modprobe xfrm_user":
    xfrm_user_init()
        register_pernet_subsys()
            -&gt; grab pernet_ops_rwsem
                ..
                netlink_table_grab()
                    calls schedule() as "nl_table_users" is non-zero

so modprobe is blocked because netlink_bind() increased
nl_table_users while also holding pernet_ops_rwsem.

"modprobe nf_conntrack_netlink" runs and inits nf_conntrack_netlink:
    ctnetlink_init()
        register_pernet_subsys()
            -&gt; blocks on "pernet_ops_rwsem" thanks to xfrm_user module

both modprobe processes wait on one another -- neither can make
progress.

Switch netlink_bind() to "nowait" modprobe -- this releases the netlink
table lock, which then allows both modprobe instances to complete.

[ Upstream commit b60a77386b1d4868f72f6353d35dabe5fbe981f2 ]

netfilter did not expect that skb_dst_force() can cause skb to lose its
dst entry.

I got a bug report with a skb-&gt;dst NULL dereference in netfilter
output path.  The backtrace contains nf_reinject(), so the dst might have
been cleared when skb got queued to userspace.

Other users were fixed via
if (skb_dst(skb)) {
	skb_dst_force(skb);
	if (!skb_dst(skb))
		goto handle_err;
}

But I think its preferable to make the 'dst might be cleared' part
of the function explicit.

In netfilter case, skb with a null dst is expected when queueing in
prerouting hook, so drop skb for the other hooks.

v2:
 v1 of this patch returned true in case skb had no dst entry.
 Eric said:
   Say if we have two skb_dst_force() calls for some reason
   on the same skb, only the first one will return false.

 This now returns false even when skb had no dst, as per Erics
 suggestion, so callers might need to check skb_dst() first before
 skb_dst_force().
