net: call newid/getid without rtnl mutex held

2017-08-09T23:57:38+00:00

Both functions take nsid_lock and don't rely on rtnl lock.

rtnetlink: make rtnl_register accept a flags parameter

2017-08-09T23:57:38+00:00

This change allows us to later indicate to rtnetlink core that certain
doit functions should be called without acquiring rtnl_mutex.

This change should have no effect, we simply replace the last (now
unused) calcit argument with the new flag.

net: convert net.passive from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-07-01T14:39:09+00:00

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree. This batch contains connection tracking updates for the cleanup
iteration path, patches from Florian Westphal:

X) Skip unconfirmed conntracks in nf_ct_iterate_cleanup_net(), just set
   dying bit to let the CPU release them.

X) Add nf_ct_iterate_destroy() to be used on module removal, to kill
   conntrack from all namespace.

X) Restart iteration on hashtable resizing, since both may occur at
   the same time.

X) Use the new nf_ct_iterate_destroy() to remove conntrack with NAT
   mapping on module removal.

X) Use nf_ct_iterate_destroy() to remove conntrack entries helper
   module removal, from Liping Zhang.

X) Use nf_ct_iterate_cleanup_net() to remove the timeout extension
   if user requests this, also from Liping.

X) Add net_ns_barrier() and use it from FTP helper, so make sure
   no concurrent namespace removal happens at the same time while
   the helper module is being removed.

X) Use NFPROTO_MAX in layer 3 conntrack protocol array, to reduce
   module size. Same thing in nf_tables.

Updates for the nf_tables infrastructure:

X) Prepare usage of the extended ACK reporting infrastructure for
   nf_tables.

X) Remove unnecessary forward declaration in nf_tables hash set.

X) Skip set size estimation if number of element is not specified.

X) Changes to accomodate a (faster) unresizable hash set implementation,
   for anonymous sets and dynamic size fixed sets with no timeouts.

X) Faster lookup function for unresizable hash table for 2 and 4
   bytes key.

And, finally, a bunch of asorted small updates and cleanups:

X) Do not hold reference to netdev from ipt_CLUSTER, instead subscribe
   to device events and look up for index from the packet path, this
   is fixing an issue that is present since the very beginning, patch
   from Xin Long.

X) Use nf_register_net_hook() in ipt_CLUSTER, from Florian Westphal.

X) Use ebt_invalid_target() whenever possible in the ebtables tree,
   from Gao Feng.

X) Calm down compilation warning in nf_dup infrastructure, patch from
   stephen hemminger.

X) Statify functions in nftables rt expression, also from stephen.

X) Update Makefile to use canonical method to specify nf_tables-objs.
   From Jike Song.

X) Use nf_conntrack_helpers_register() in amanda and H323.

X) Space cleanup for ctnetlink, from linzhang.

netns: add and use net_ns_barrier

2017-06-19T17:09:19+00:00

Quoting Joe Stringer:
  If a user loads nf_conntrack_ftp, sends FTP traffic through a network
  namespace, destroys that namespace then unloads the FTP helper module,
  then the kernel will crash.

Events that lead to the crash:
1. conntrack is created with ftp helper in netns x
2. This netns is destroyed
3. netns destruction is scheduled
4. netns destruction wq starts, removes netns from global list
5. ftp helper is unloaded, which resets all helpers of the conntracks
via for_each_net()

but because netns is already gone from list the for_each_net() loop
doesn't include it, therefore all of these conntracks are unaffected.

6. helper module unload finishes
7. netns wq invokes destructor for rmmod'ed helper

netns: fix error code when the nsid is already used

2017-06-10T19:58:50+00:00

When the user tries to assign a specific nsid, idr_alloc() is called with
the range [nsid, nsid+1]. If this nsid is already used, idr_alloc() returns
ENOSPC (No space left on device). In our case, it's better to return
EEXIST to make it clear that the nsid is not available.

net: move somaxconn init from sysctl code

2017-05-25T17:12:17+00:00

The default value for somaxconn is set in sysctl_core_net_init(), but this
function is not called when kernel is configured without CONFIG_SYSCTL.

This results in the kernel not being able to accept TCP connections,
because the backlog has zero size. Usually, the user ends up with:
"TCP: request_sock_TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 7. Dropping request.  Check SNMP counters."
If SYN cookies are not enabled the connection is rejected.

Before ef547f2ac16 (tcp: remove max_qlen_log), the effects were less
severe, because the backlog was always at least eight slots long.

net: rtnetlink: plumb extended ack to doit function

2017-04-17T19:35:38+00:00

Add netlink_ext_ack arg to rtnl_doit_func. Pass extack arg to nlmsg_parse
for doit functions that call it directly.

This is the first step to using extended error reporting in rtnetlink.
>From here individual subsystems can be updated to set netlink_ext_ack as
needed.
