netfilter: nf_conncount: rework API to use sk_buff directly

2026-01-19T12:09:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit be102eb6a0e7c03db00e50540622f4e43b2d2844 ]

When using nf_conncount infrastructure for non-confirmed connections a
duplicated track is possible due to an optimization introduced since
commit d265929930e2 ("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC").

In order to fix this introduce a new conncount API that receives
directly an sk_buff struct.  It fetches the tuple and zone and the
corresponding ct from it. It comes with both existing conncount variants
nf_conncount_count_skb() and nf_conncount_add_skb(). In addition remove
the old API and adjust all the users to use the new one.

This way, for each sk_buff struct it is possible to check if there is a
ct present and already confirmed. If so, skip the add operation.

net: openvswitch: Fix Use-After-Free in ovs_ct_exit

2024-05-02T14:24:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5ea7b72d4fac2fdbc0425cd8f2ea33abe95235b2 ]

Since kfree_rcu, which is called in the hlist_for_each_entry_rcu traversal
of ovs_ct_limit_exit, is not part of the RCU read critical section, it
is possible that the RCU grace period will pass during the traversal and
the key will be free.

To prevent this, it should be changed to hlist_for_each_entry_safe.

net: openvswitch: fix unwanted error log on timeout policy probing

2024-04-17T09:15:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4539f91f2a801c0c028c252bffae56030cfb2cae ]

On startup, ovs-vswitchd probes different datapath features including
support for timeout policies.  While probing, it tries to execute
certain operations with OVS_PACKET_ATTR_PROBE or OVS_FLOW_ATTR_PROBE
attributes set.  These attributes tell the openvswitch module to not
log any errors when they occur as it is expected that some of the
probes will fail.

For some reason, setting the timeout policy ignores the PROBE attribute
and logs a failure anyway.  This is causing the following kernel log
on each re-start of ovs-vswitchd:

  kernel: Failed to associated timeout policy `ovs_test_tp'

Fix that by using the same logging macro that all other messages are
using.  The message will still be printed at info level when needed
and will be rate limited, but with a net rate limiter instead of
generic printk one.

The nf_ct_set_timeout() itself will still print some info messages,
but at least this change makes logging in openvswitch module more
consistent.

net: openvswitch: fix misuse of the cached connection on tuple changes

2022-06-14T16:36:26+00:00

commit 2061ecfdf2350994e5b61c43e50e98a7a70e95ee upstream.

If packet headers changed, the cached nfct is no longer relevant
for the packet and attempt to re-use it leads to the incorrect packet
classification.

This issue is causing broken connectivity in OpenStack deployments
with OVS/OVN due to hairpin traffic being unexpectedly dropped.

The setup has datapath flows with several conntrack actions and tuple
changes between them:

  actions:ct(commit,zone=8,mark=0/0x1,nat(src)),
          set(eth(src=00:00:00:00:00:01,dst=00:00:00:00:00:06)),
          set(ipv4(src=172.18.2.10,dst=192.168.100.6,ttl=62)),
          ct(zone=8),recirc(0x4)

After the first ct() action the packet headers are almost fully
re-written.  The next ct() tries to re-use the existing nfct entry
and marks the packet as invalid, so it gets dropped later in the
pipeline.

Clearing the cached conntrack entry whenever packet tuple is changed
to avoid the issue.

The flow key should not be cleared though, because we should still
be able to match on the ct_state if the recirculation happens after
the tuple change but before the next ct() action.

netfilter: conntrack: convert to refcount_t api

2022-04-27T12:39:01+00:00

commit 719774377622bc4025d2a74f551b5dc2158c6c30 upstream.

Convert nf_conn reference counting from atomic_t to refcount_t based api.
refcount_t api provides more runtime sanity checks and will warn on
certain constructs, e.g. refcount_inc() on a zero reference count, which
usually indicates use-after-free.

For this reason template allocation is changed to init the refcount to
1, the subsequenct add operations are removed.

Likewise, init_conntrack() is changed to set the initial refcount to 1
instead refcount_inc().

This is safe because the new entry is not (yet) visible to other cpus.

Its the same as nf_conntrack_put(), but without the
need for an indirect call.  The downside is a module dependency on
nf_conntrack, but all of these already depend on conntrack anyway.

openvswitch: always update flow key after nat

2022-04-08T12:23:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit 60b44ca6bd7518dd38fa2719bc9240378b6172c3 ]

During NAT, a tuple collision may occur.  When this happens, openvswitch
will make a second pass through NAT which will perform additional packet
modification.  This will update the skb data, but not the flow key that
OVS uses.  This means that future flow lookups, and packet matches will
have incorrect data.  This has been supported since
5d50aa83e2c8 ("openvswitch: support asymmetric conntrack").

That commit failed to properly update the sw_flow_key attributes, since
it only called the ovs_ct_nat_update_key once, rather than each time
ovs_ct_nat_execute was called.  As these two operations are linked, the
ovs_ct_nat_execute() function should always make sure that the
sw_flow_key is updated after a successful call through NAT infrastructure.
