<title>netfilter: replace strnicmp with strncasecmp</title>

<id>18082746a28588f94496f2daa050c11decb54179</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and
a slightly buggy strncasecmp.  The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp
was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new
strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.

To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the
future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do
s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

====================
Netfilter fixes for net-next

This batch contains two fixes for what you have in your net-next,
they are:

1) Remove nf_send_reset6() from header file. This function now resides
   in the nf_reject_ipv6 module. Reported by Eric Dumazet.

2) Fix wrong NFT_REJECT_ICMPX_MAX definition and adjust code to fix
   errors reported by Dan Carpenter's static analysis tools.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Most notable changes in here:

   1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
      contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit.  This is
      the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
      several individuals.

      Now, when the -&gt;ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
      skb-&gt;xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
      telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.

      skb-&gt;xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
      call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.

      There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
      packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
      software is now done with no locks held.

      Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
      be used to test a multi-send implementation.

      Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
      virtio_net

      Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
      support this optimization soon.

      I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
      Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal
      Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann,
      David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell.

   2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.

   3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via
      ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver.  From
      Govindarajulu Varadarajan.

   4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
      driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
      Florian Fainelli.

   5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
      to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
      into pools of pages.  The objective is to get exactly the
      necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
      but no more.  The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().
      From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own
      by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric
      Dumazet.

   6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for
      encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility.  From Tom
      Herbert.

   7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian
      Fainelli.

   8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive
      testsuite.  Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann.

   9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major
      areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators.  From John
      Fastabend.

  10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander
      Duyck.

  11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric
      Dumazet.

  12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From
      Florian Westphal.

  13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly
      faster.  From Eric Dumazet"

NFT_REJECT_ICMPX_MAX should be __NFT_REJECT_ICMPX_MAX - 1.

nft_reject_icmp_code() and nft_reject_icmpv6_code() are called from the
packet path, so BUG_ON in case we try to access an unknown abstracted
ICMP code. This should not happen since we already validate this from
nft_reject_{inet,bridge}_init().

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains another batch with Netfilter/IPVS updates
for net-next, they are:

1) Add abstracted ICMP codes to the nf_tables reject expression. We
   introduce four reasons to reject using ICMP that overlap in IPv4
   and IPv6 from the semantic point of view. This should simplify the
   maintainance of dual stack rule-sets through the inet table.

2) Move nf_send_reset() functions from header files to per-family
   nf_reject modules, suggested by Patrick McHardy.

3) We have to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER) everywhere in the
   code now that br_netfilter can be modularized. Convert remaining spots
   in the network stack code.

4) Use rcu_barrier() in the nf_tables module removal path to ensure that
   we don't leave object that are still pending to be released via
   call_rcu (that may likely result in a crash).

5) Remove incomplete arch 32/64 compat from nft_compat. The original (bad)
   idea was to probe the word size based on the xtables match/target info
   size, but this assumption is wrong when you have to dump the information
   back to userspace.

6) Allow to filter from prerouting and postrouting in the nf_tables bridge.
   In order to emulate the ebtables NAT chains (which are actually simple
   filter chains with no special semantics), we have support filtering from
   this hooks too.

7) Add explicit module dependency between xt_physdev and br_netfilter.
   This provides a way to detect if the user needs br_netfilter from
   the configuration path. This should reduce the breakage of the
   br_netfilter modularization.

8) Cleanup coding style in ip_vs.h, from Simon Horman.

9) Fix crash in the recently added nf_tables masq expression. We have
   to register/unregister the notifiers to clean up the conntrack table
   entries from the module init/exit path, not from the rule addition /
   deletion path. From Arturo Borrero.

You can use physdev to match the physical interface enslaved to the
bridge device. This information is stored in skb-&gt;nf_bridge and it is
set up by br_netfilter. So, this is only available when iptables is
used from the bridge netfilter path.

Since 34666d4 ("netfilter: bridge: move br_netfilter out of the core"),
the br_netfilter code is modular. To reduce the impact of this change,
we can autoload the br_netfilter if the physdev match is used since
we assume that the users need br_netfilter in place.

<title>netfilter: nft_compat: remove incomplete 32/64 bits arch compat code</title>

This code was based on the wrong asumption that you can probe based
on the match/target private size that we get from userspace. This
doesn't work at all when you have to dump the info back to userspace
since you don't know what word size the userspace utility is using.

Currently, the extensions that require arch compat are limit match
and the ebt_mark match/target. The standard targets are not used by
the nft-xt compat layer, so they are not affected. We can work around
this limitation with a new revision that uses arch agnostic types.

Make sure the objects have been released before the nf_tables modules
is removed.
