<title>netfilter: nfnetlink: re-enable conntrack expectation events</title>

To avoid allocation of the conntrack extension area when possible,
the default behaviour was changed to only allocate the event extension
if a userspace program is subscribed to a notification group.

Problem is that while 'conntrack -E' does enable the event allocation
behind the scenes, 'conntrack -E expect' does not: no expectation events
are delivered unless user sets
"net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_events" back to 1 (always on).

Fix the autodetection to also consider EXP type group.

We need to track the 6 event groups (3+3, new/update/destroy for events and
for expectations each) independently, else we'd disable events again
if an expectation group becomes empty while there is still an active
event group.

This patch introduces the sysctl smcr_buf_type for setting
the type of SMC-R sndbufs and RMBs.

Valid values includes:

- SMCR_PHYS_CONT_BUFS, which means use physically contiguous
  buffers for better performance and is the default value.

- SMCR_VIRT_CONT_BUFS, which means use virtually contiguous
  buffers in case of physically contiguous memory is scarce.

- SMCR_MIXED_BUFS, which means first try to use physically
  contiguous buffers. If not available, then use virtually
  contiguous buffers.

To improve hardware offload debuggability count pending 'add', 'del' and
'stats' flow_table offload workqueue tasks. Counters are incremented before
scheduling new task and decremented when workqueue handler finishes
executing. These counters allow user to diagnose congestion on hardware
offload workqueues that can happen when either CPU is starved and workqueue
jobs are executed at lower rate than new ones are added or when
hardware/driver can't keep up with the rate.

Implement the described counters as percpu counters inside new struct
netns_ft which is stored inside struct net. Expose them via new procfs file
'/proc/net/stats/nf_flowtable' that is similar to existing 'nf_conntrack'
file.

<title>af_unix: Define a per-netns hash table.</title>

<id>b6e811383062f88212082714db849127fa95142c</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit adds a per netns hash table for AF_UNIX, which size is fixed
as UNIX_HASH_SIZE for now.

The first implementation defines a per-netns hash table as a single array
of lock and list:

	struct unix_hashbucket {
		spinlock_t		lock;
		struct hlist_head	head;
	};

	struct netns_unix {
		struct unix_hashbucket	*hash;
		...
	};

But, Eric pointed out memory cost that the structure has holes because of
sizeof(spinlock_t), which is 4 (or more if LOCKDEP is enabled). [0]  It
could be expensive on a host with thousands of netns and few AF_UNIX
sockets.  For this reason, a per-netns hash table uses two dense arrays.

	struct unix_table {
		spinlock_t		*locks;
		struct hlist_head	*buckets;
	};

	struct netns_unix {
		struct unix_table	table;
		...
	};

Note the length of the list has a significant impact rather than lock
contention, so having shared locks can be an option.  But, per-netns
locks and lists still perform better than the global locks and per-netns
lists. [1]

Also, this patch adds a change so that struct netns_unix disappears from
struct net if CONFIG_UNIX is disabled.

Netfilter updates for net-next

This is v2 including deadlock fix in conntrack ecache rework
reported by Jakub Kicinski.

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next,
mostly updates to conntrack from Florian Westphal.

1) Add a dedicated list for conntrack event redelivery.

2) Include event redelivery list in conntrack dumps of dying type.

3) Remove per-cpu dying list for event redelivery, not used anymore.

4) Add netns .pre_exit to cttimeout to zap timeout objects before
   synchronize_rcu() call.

5) Remove nf_ct_unconfirmed_destroy.

6) Add generation id for conntrack extensions for conntrack
   timeout and helpers.

7) Detach timeout policy from conntrack on cttimeout module removal.

8) Remove __nf_ct_unconfirmed_destroy.

9) Remove unconfirmed list.

10) Remove unconditional local_bh_disable in init_conntrack().

11) Consolidate conntrack iterator nf_ct_iterate_cleanup().

12) Detect if ctnetlink listeners exist to short-circuit event
    path early.

13) Un-inline nf_ct_ecache_ext_add().

14) Add nf_conntrack_events autodetect ctnetlink listener mode
    and make it default.

15) Add nf_ct_ecache_exist() to check for event cache extension.

16) Extend flowtable reverse route lookup to include source, iif,
    tos and mark, from Sven Auhagen.

17) Do not verify zero checksum UDP packets in nf_reject,
    from Kevin Mitchell.

At this time, every new conntrack gets the 'event cache extension'
enabled for it.

This is because the 'net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_events' sysctl defaults
to 1.

Changing the default to 0 means that commands that rely on the event
notification extension, e.g. 'conntrack -E' or conntrackd, stop working.

We COULD detect if there is a listener by means of
'nfnetlink_has_listeners()' and only add the extension if this is true.

The downside is a dependency from conntrack module to nfnetlink module.

This adds a different way: inc/dec a counter whenever a ctnetlink group
is being (un)subscribed and toggle a flag in struct net.

Next patches will take advantage of this and will only add the event
extension if the flag is set.

Its no longer needed. Entries that need event redelivery are placed
on the new pernet dying list.

The advantage is that there is no need to take additional spinlock on
conntrack removal unless event redelivery failed or the conntrack entry
was never added to the table in the first place (confirmed bit not set).

The IPS_CONFIRMED bit now needs to be set as soon as the entry has been
unlinked from the unconfirmed list, else the destroy function may
attempt to unlink it a second time.
