netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: fix secctx memory leak

2017-03-29T10:20:50+00:00

We must call security_release_secctx to free the memory returned by
security_secid_to_secctx, otherwise memory may be leaked forever.

ktime: Get rid of the union

2016-12-25T16:21:22+00:00

ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
become completely pointless.

Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.

The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

netns: make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned int

2016-11-18T15:59:15+00:00

Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.

There are 2 reasons to do so:

1)
This field is really an index into an zero based array and
thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
access by definition.

2)
On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
are preffered to signed 32-bit data.

"int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
to 64-bit before being used.

	void f(long *p, int i)
	{
		g(p[i]);
	}

  roughly translates to

	movsx	rsi, esi
	mov	rdi, [rsi+...]
	call 	g

MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.

Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
"int" as an array index:

	static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
	{
		...
		ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
		...
	}

And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.

Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
messing with code generation):

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)

Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
used which is longer than [r8]

However, overall balance is in negative direction:

netfilter: remove hook_entries field from nf_hook_state

2016-11-03T10:52:58+00:00

This field is only useful for nf_queue, so store it in the
nf_queue_entry structure instead, away from the core path. Pass
hook_head to nf_hook_slow().

Since we always have a valid entry on the first iteration in
nf_iterate(), we can use 'do { ... } while (entry)' loop instead.

netfilter: nf_queue: place volatile data in own cacheline

2016-11-01T19:50:33+00:00

As the comment indicates, the data at the end of nfqnl_instance struct is
written on every queue/dequeue, so it should reside in its own cacheline.

Before this change, 'lock' was in first cacheline so we dirtied both.

netfilter: replace list_head with single linked list

2016-09-25T12:38:48+00:00

The netfilter hook list never uses the prev pointer, and so can be trimmed to
be a simple singly-linked list.

In addition to having a more light weight structure for hook traversal,
struct net becomes 5568 bytes (down from 6400) and struct net_device becomes
2176 bytes (down from 2240).

netfilter: Remove explicit rcu_read_lock in nf_hook_slow

2016-09-24T19:29:53+00:00

All of the callers of nf_hook_slow already hold the rcu_read_lock, so this
cleanup removes the recursive call.  This is just a cleanup, as the locking
code gracefully handles this situation.

Like NFQNL_MSG_VERDICT_BATCH do, we should also reject the verdict

from another process).

====================
Netfilter fixes for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for your net tree,
they are:

1) Fix incorrect timestamp in nfnetlink_queue introduced when addressing
   y2038 safe timestamp, from Florian Westphal.

2) Get rid of leftover conntrack definition from the previous merge
   window, oneliner from Florian.

3) Make nf_queue handler pernet to resolve race on dereferencing the
   hook state structure with netns removal, from Eric Biederman.

4) Ensure clean exit on unregistered helper ports, from Taehee Yoo.

5) Restore FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH in nf_dup_ipv6. This got lost while
   generalizing xt_TEE to add packet duplication support in nf_tables,
   from Paolo Abeni.

6) Insufficient netlink NFTA_SET_TABLE attribute check in
   nf_tables_getset(), from Phil Turnbull.

7) Reject helper registration on duplicated ports via modparams.
