[ Upstream commit 510841da1fcc16f702440ab58ef0b4d82a9056b7 ]

Daniel Xu reported that the hash:net,iface type of the ipset subsystem does
not limit adding the same network with different interfaces to a set, which
can lead to huge memory usage or allocation failure.

The quick reproducer is

$ ipset create ACL.IN.ALL_PERMIT hash:net,iface hashsize 1048576 timeout 0
$ for i in $(seq 0 100); do /sbin/ipset add ACL.IN.ALL_PERMIT 0.0.0.0/0,kaf_$i timeout 0 -exist; done

The backtrace when vmalloc fails:

        [Tue Oct 25 00:13:08 2022] ipset: vmalloc error: size 1073741848, exceeds total pages
        &lt;...&gt;

        &lt;...&gt;

The fix is to enforce the limit documented in the ipset(8) manpage:

&gt;  The internal restriction of the hash:net,iface set type is that the same
&gt;  network prefix cannot be stored with more than 64 different interfaces
&gt;  in a single set.

Therefore, the ip_vs_app file doesn't be found during the remove in
ip_vs_app_net_cleanup(). It will cause WRNING.

[ Upstream commit 5c26159c97b324dc5174a5713eafb8c855cf8106 ]

The `char` type with no explicit sign is sometimes signed and sometimes
unsigned. This code will break on platforms such as arm, where char is
unsigned. So mark it here as explicitly signed, so that the
todrop_counter decrement and subsequent comparison is correct.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 2aa192757005f130b2dd3547dda6e462e761199f ]

The previous commit changed the way the rescheduling delay is computed
which has a side effect: the bias is now represented as much as the
other entries in the rescheduling delay which makes the logic to kick in
only with very large sets, as the initial interval is very large
(INT_MAX).

Revisit the GC initial bias to allow more frequent GC for smaller sets
while still avoiding wakeups when a machine is mostly idle. We're moving
from a large initial value to pretending we have 100 entries expiring at
the upper bound. This way only a few entries having a small timeout
won't impact much the rescheduling delay and non-idle machines will have
enough entries to lower the delay when needed. This also improves
readability as the initial bias is now linked to what is computed
instead of being an arbitrary large value.

[ Upstream commit 2aa192757005f130b2dd3547dda6e462e761199f ]

The previous commit changed the way the rescheduling delay is computed
which has a side effect: the bias is now represented as much as the
other entries in the rescheduling delay which makes the logic to kick in
only with very large sets, as the initial interval is very large
(INT_MAX).

Revisit the GC initial bias to allow more frequent GC for smaller sets
while still avoiding wakeups when a machine is mostly idle. We're moving
from a large initial value to pretending we have 100 entries expiring at
the upper bound. This way only a few entries having a small timeout
won't impact much the rescheduling delay and non-idle machines will have
enough entries to lower the delay when needed. This also improves
readability as the initial bias is now linked to what is computed
instead of being an arbitrary large value.

[ Upstream commit 95eabdd207024312876d0ebed90b4c977e050e85 ]

Commit 2cfadb761d3d ("netfilter: conntrack: revisit gc autotuning")
changed the eviction rescheduling to the use average expiry of scanned
entries (within 1-60s) by doing:

  for (...) {
      expires = clamp(nf_ct_expires(tmp), ...);
      next_run += expires;
      next_run /= 2;
  }

The issue is the above will make the average ('next_run' here) more
dependent on the last expiration values than the firsts (for sets &gt; 2).
Depending on the expiration values used to compute the average, the
result can be quite different than what's expected. To fix this we can
do the following:

  for (...) {
      expires = clamp(nf_ct_expires(tmp), ...);
      next_run += (expires - next_run) / ++count;
  }

We can't use ct-&gt;lock, this is already used by the seqadj internals.
When using ftp helper + nat, seqadj will attempt to acquire ct-&gt;lock
again.

Revert back to a global lock for now.
