netfilter: xt_limit: have r->cost != 0 case work

2012-10-17T02:50:09+00:00

commit 82e6bfe2fbc4d48852114c4f979137cd5bf1d1a8 upstream.

Commit v2.6.19-rc1~1272^2~41 tells us that r->cost != 0 can happen when
a running state is saved to userspace and then reinstated from there.

Make sure that private xt_limit area is initialized with correct values.
Otherwise, random matchings due to use of uninitialized memory.

netfilter: limit, hashlimit: avoid duplicated inline

2012-10-17T02:50:08+00:00

commit 7a909ac70f6b0823d9f23a43f19598d4b57ac901 upstream.

credit_cap can be set to credit, which avoids inlining user2credits
twice. Also, remove inline keyword and let compiler decide.

netfilter: nf_ct_expect: fix possible access to uninitialized timer

2012-10-17T02:50:06+00:00

commit 2614f86490122bf51eb7c12ec73927f1900f4e7d upstream.

In __nf_ct_expect_check, the function refresh_timer returns 1
if a matching expectation is found and its timer is successfully
refreshed. This results in nf_ct_expect_related returning 0.
Note that at this point:

- the passed expectation is not inserted in the expectation table
  and its timer was not initialized, since we have refreshed one
  matching/existing expectation.

- nf_ct_expect_alloc uses kmem_cache_alloc, so the expectation
  timer is in some undefined state just after the allocation,
  until it is appropriately initialized.

This can be a problem for the SIP helper during the expectation
addition:

 ...
 if (nf_ct_expect_related(rtp_exp) == 0) {
         if (nf_ct_expect_related(rtcp_exp) != 0)
                 nf_ct_unexpect_related(rtp_exp);
 ...

Note that nf_ct_expect_related(rtp_exp) may return 0 for the timer refresh
case that is detailed above. Then, if nf_ct_unexpect_related(rtcp_exp)
returns != 0, nf_ct_unexpect_related(rtp_exp) is called, which does:

 spin_lock_bh(&nf_conntrack_lock);
 if (del_timer(&exp->timeout)) {
         nf_ct_unlink_expect(exp);
         nf_ct_expect_put(exp);
 }
 spin_unlock_bh(&nf_conntrack_lock);

Note that del_timer always returns false if the timer has been
initialized.  However, the timer was not initialized since setup_timer
was not called, therefore, the expectation timer remains in some
undefined state. If I'm not missing anything, this may lead to the
removal an unexistent expectation.

To fix this, the optimization that allows refreshing an expectation
is removed. Now nf_conntrack_expect_related looks more consistent
to me since it always add the expectation in case that it returns
success.

Thanks to Patrick McHardy for participating in the discussion of
this patch.

I think this may be the source of the problem described by:

netfilter: nf_nat_sip: fix via header translation with multiple parameters

2012-10-17T02:50:05+00:00

commit f22eb25cf5b1157b29ef88c793b71972efc47143 upstream.

Via-headers are parsed beginning at the first character after the Via-address.
When the address is translated first and its length decreases, the offset to
start parsing at is incorrect and header parameters might be missed.

Update the offset after translating the Via-address to fix this.

netfilter: nf_nat_sip: fix incorrect handling of EBUSY for RTCP expectation

2012-10-17T02:50:05+00:00

commit 3f509c689a07a4aa989b426893d8491a7ffcc410 upstream.

We're hitting bug while trying to reinsert an already existing
expectation:

kernel BUG at kernel/timer.c:895!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
[...]
Call Trace:
 
 [] nf_ct_expect_related_report+0x4a0/0x57a [nf_conntrack]

We have to remove the RTP expectation if the RTCP expectation hits EBUSY
since we keep trying with other ports until we succeed.

netfilter: nf_ct_ipv4: packets with wrong ihl are invalid

2012-10-17T02:50:04+00:00

commit 07153c6ec074257ade76a461429b567cff2b3a1e upstream.

It was reported that the Linux kernel sometimes logs:

klogd: [2629147.402413] kernel BUG at net / netfilter /
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c: 447!
klogd: [1072212.887368] kernel BUG at net / netfilter /
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c: 392

ipv4_get_l4proto() in nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4.c and tcp_error() in
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c should catch malformed packets, so the errors
at the indicated lines - TCP options parsing - should not happen.
However, tcp_error() relies on the "dataoff" offset to the TCP header,
calculated by ipv4_get_l4proto().  But ipv4_get_l4proto() does not check
bogus ihl values in IPv4 packets, which then can slip through tcp_error()
and get caught at the TCP options parsing routines.

The patch fixes ipv4_get_l4proto() by invalidating packets with bogus
ihl value.

The patch closes netfilter bugzilla id 771.

commit a519fc7a70d1a918574bb826cc6905b87b482eb9 upstream.

Instead of doing a shutdown() call, we need to do an actual close().
Ditto if/when the server is sending us junk RPC headers.

net: do not disable sg for packets requiring no checksum

2012-10-10T02:31:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit c0d680e577ff171e7b37dbdb1b1bf5451e851f04 ]

A change in a series of VLAN-related changes appears to have
inadvertently disabled the use of the scatter gather feature of
network cards for transmission of non-IP ethernet protocols like ATA
over Ethernet (AoE).  Below is a reference to the commit that
introduces a "harmonize_features" function that turns off scatter
gather when the NIC does not support hardware checksumming for the
ethernet protocol of an sk buff.

  commit f01a5236bd4b140198fbcc550f085e8361fd73fa
  Author: Jesse Gross 
  Date:   Sun Jan 9 06:23:31 2011 +0000

      net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features().

The can_checksum_protocol function is not equipped to consider a
protocol that does not require checksumming.  Calling it for a
protocol that requires no checksum is inappropriate.

The patch below has harmonize_features call can_checksum_protocol when
the protocol needs a checksum, so that the network layer is not forced
to perform unnecessary skb linearization on the transmission of AoE
packets.  Unnecessary linearization results in decreased performance
and increased memory pressure, as reported here:

  http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg15184.html

The problem has probably not been widely experienced yet, because
only recently has the kernel.org-distributed aoe driver acquired the
ability to use payloads of over a page in size, with the patchset
recently included in the mm tree:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/28/140

The coraid.com-distributed aoe driver already could use payloads of
greater than a page in size, but its users generally do not use the
newest kernels.
