netfilter: introduce nf_conntrack_helper_put helper function

2017-05-15T10:42:29+00:00

And convert module_put invocation to nf_conntrack_helper_put, this is
prepared for the followup patch, which will add a refcnt for cthelper,
so we can reject the deleting request when cthelper is in use.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS/OVS fixes for net

The following patchset contains a rather large batch of Netfilter, IPVS
and OVS fixes for your net tree. This includes fixes for ctnetlink, the
userspace conntrack helper infrastructure, conntrack OVS support,
ebtables DNAT target, several leaks in error path among other. More
specifically, they are:

1) Fix reference count leak in the CT target error path, from Gao Feng.

2) Remove conntrack entry clashing with a matching expectation, patch
   from Jarno Rajahalme.

3) Fix bogus EEXIST when registering two different userspace helpers,
   from Liping Zhang.

4) Don't leak dummy elements in the new bitmap set type in nf_tables,
   from Liping Zhang.

5) Get rid of module autoload from conntrack update path in ctnetlink,
   we don't need autoload at this late stage and it is happening with
   rcu read lock held which is not good. From Liping Zhang.

6) Fix deadlock due to double-acquire of the expect_lock from conntrack
   update path, this fixes a bug that was introduced when the central
   spinlock got removed. Again from Liping Zhang.

7) Safe ct->status update from ctnetlink path, from Liping. The expect_lock
   protection that was selected when the central spinlock was removed was
   not really protecting anything at all.

8) Protect sequence adjustment under ct->lock.

9) Missing socket match with IPv6, from Peter Tirsek.

10) Adjust skb->pkt_type of DNAT'ed frames from ebtables, from
    Linus Luessing.

11) Don't give up on evaluating the expression on new entries added via
    dynset expression in nf_tables, from Liping Zhang.

12) Use skb_checksum() when mangling icmpv6 in IPv6 NAT as this deals
    with non-linear skbuffs.

13) Don't allow IPv6 service in IPVS if no IPv6 support is available,
    from Paolo Abeni.

14) Missing mutex release in error path of xt_find_table_lock(), from
    Dan Carpenter.

15) Update maintainers files, Netfilter section. Add Florian to the
    file, refer to nftables.org and change project status from Supported
    to Maintained.

16) Bail out on mismatching extensions in element updates in nf_tables.

netfilter: xt_CT: fix refcnt leak on error path

2017-04-24T18:03:01+00:00

There are two cases which causes refcnt leak.

1. When nf_ct_timeout_ext_add failed in xt_ct_set_timeout, it should
free the timeout refcnt.
Now goto the err_put_timeout error handler instead of going ahead.

2. When the time policy is not found, we should call module_put.
Otherwise, the related cthelper module cannot be removed anymore.
It is easy to reproduce by typing the following command:
  # iptables -t raw -A OUTPUT -p tcp -j CT --helper ftp --timeout xxx

netfilter: kill the fake untracked conntrack objects

2017-04-15T09:47:57+00:00

resurrect an old patch from Pablo Neira to remove the untracked objects.

Currently, there are four possible states of an skb wrt. conntrack.

1. No conntrack attached, ct is NULL.
2. Normal (kmem cache allocated) ct attached.
3. a template (kmalloc'd), not in any hash tables at any point in time
4. the 'untracked' conntrack, a percpu nf_conn object, tagged via
   IPS_UNTRACKED_BIT in ct->status.

Untracked is supposed to be identical to case 1.  It exists only
so users can check

-m conntrack --ctstate UNTRACKED vs.
-m conntrack --ctstate INVALID

e.g. attempts to set connmark on INVALID or UNTRACKED conntracks is
supposed to be a no-op.

Thus currently we need to check
 ct == NULL || nf_ct_is_untracked(ct)

in a lot of places in order to avoid altering untracked objects.

The other consequence of the percpu untracked object is that all
-j NOTRACK (and, later, kfree_skb of such skbs) result in an atomic op
(inc/dec the untracked conntracks refcount).

This adds a new kernel-private ctinfo state, IP_CT_UNTRACKED, to
make the distinction instead.

The (few) places that care about packet invalid (ct is NULL) vs.
packet untracked now need to test ct == NULL vs. ctinfo == IP_CT_UNTRACKED,
but all other places can omit the nf_ct_is_untracked() check.

netfilter: merge ctinfo into nfct pointer storage area

2017-02-02T13:31:56+00:00

After this change conntrack operations (lookup, creation, matching from
ruleset) only access one instead of two sk_buff cache lines.

This works for normal conntracks because those are allocated from a slab
that guarantees hw cacheline or 8byte alignment (whatever is larger)
so the 3 bits needed for ctinfo won't overlap with nf_conn addresses.

Template allocation now does manual address alignment (see previous change)
on arches that don't have sufficent kmalloc min alignment.

Some spots intentionally use skb->_nfct instead of skb_nfct() helpers,
this is to avoid undoing the skb_nfct() use when we remove untracked
conntrack object in the future.

netfilter: add and use nf_ct_set helper

2017-02-02T13:31:54+00:00

Add a helper to assign a nf_conn entry and the ctinfo bits to an sk_buff.
This avoids changing code in followup patch that merges skb->nfct and
skb->nfctinfo into skb->_nfct.

2017-02-02T13:31:53+00:00

Followup patch renames skb->nfct and changes its type so add a helper to
avoid intrusive rename change later.

xtables: extend matches and targets with .usersize

2017-01-09T16:24:55+00:00

In matches and targets that define a kernel-only tail to their
xt_match and xt_target data structs, add a field .usersize that
specifies up to where data is to be shared with userspace.

Performed a search for comment "Used internally by the kernel" to find
relevant matches and targets. Manually inspected the structs to derive
a valid offsetof.

netfilter: add and use nf_ct_netns_get/put

2016-12-04T20:16:50+00:00

currently aliased to try_module_get/_put.
Will be changed in next patch when we add functions to make use of ->net
argument to store usercount per l3proto tracker.

This is needed to avoid registering the conntrack hooks in all netns and
later only enable connection tracking in those that need conntrack.
