net: define gso types for IPx over IPv4 and IPv6

2016-05-20T22:03:15+00:00

This patch defines two new GSO definitions SKB_GSO_IPXIP4 and
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 along with corresponding NETIF_F_GSO_IPXIP4 and
NETIF_F_GSO_IPXIP6. These are used to described IP in IP
tunnel and what the outer protocol is. The inner protocol
can be deduced from other GSO types (e.g. SKB_GSO_TCPV4 and
SKB_GSO_TCPV6). The GSO types of SKB_GSO_IPIP and SKB_GSO_SIT
are removed (these are both instances of SKB_GSO_IPXIP4).
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 will be used when support for GSO with IP
encapsulation over IPv6 is added.

The nf_conntrack_core.c fix in 'net' is not relevant in 'net-next'
because we no longer have a per-netns conntrack hash.

The ip_gre.c conflict as well as the iwlwifi ones were cases of
overlapping changes.

nf_conntrack: avoid kernel pointer value leak in slab name

2016-05-14T19:04:43+00:00

The slab name ends up being visible in the directory structure under
/sys, and even if you don't have access rights to the file you can see
the filenames.

Just use a 64-bit counter instead of the pointer to the 'net' structure
to generate a unique name.

This code will go away in 4.7 when the conntrack code moves to a single
kmemcache, but this is the backportable simple solution to avoiding
leaking kernel pointers to user space.

netfilter: conntrack: remove uninitialized shadow variable

2016-05-10T05:04:04+00:00

A recent commit introduced an unconditional use of an uninitialized
variable, as reported in this gcc warning:

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: In function '__nf_conntrack_confirm':
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:632:33: error: 'ctinfo' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
   bytes = atomic64_read(&counter[CTINFO2DIR(ctinfo)].bytes);
                                 ^
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:628:26: note: 'ctinfo' was declared here
   enum ip_conntrack_info ctinfo;

The problem is that a local variable shadows the function parameter.
This removes the local variable, which looks like what Pablo originally
intended.

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

The following large patchset contains Netfilter updates for your
net-next tree. My initial intention was to send you this in two goes but
when I looked back twice I already had this burden on top of me.

Several updates for IPVS from Marco Angaroni:

1) Allow SIP connections originating from real-servers to be load
   balanced by the SIP persistence engine as is already implemented
   in the other direction.

2) Release connections immediately for One-packet-scheduling (OPS)
   in IPVS, instead of making it via timer and rcu callback.

3) Skip deleting conntracks for each one packet in OPS, and don't call
   nf_conntrack_alter_reply() since no reply is expected.

4) Enable drop on exhaustion for OPS + SIP persistence.

Miscelaneous conntrack updates from Florian Westphal, including fix for
hash resize:

5) Move conntrack generation counter out of conntrack pernet structure
   since this is only used by the init_ns to allow hash resizing.

6) Use get_random_once() from packet path to collect hash random seed
    instead of our compound.

7) Don't disable BH from ____nf_conntrack_find() for statistics,
   use NF_CT_STAT_INC_ATOMIC() instead.

8) Fix lookup race during conntrack hash resizing.

9) Introduce clash resolution on conntrack insertion for connectionless
   protocol.

Then, Florian's netns rework to get rid of per-netns conntrack table,
thus we use one single table for them all. There was consensus on this
change during the NFWS 2015 and, on top of that, it has recently been
pointed as a source of multiple problems from unpriviledged netns:

11) Use a single conntrack hashtable for all namespaces. Include netns
    in object comparisons and make it part of the hash calculation.
    Adapt early_drop() to consider netns.

12) Use single expectation and NAT hashtable for all namespaces.

13) Use a single slab cache for all namespaces for conntrack objects.

14) Skip full table scanning from nf_ct_iterate_cleanup() if the pernet
    conntrack counter tells us the table is empty (ie. equals zero).

Fixes for nf_tables interval set element handling, support to set
conntrack connlabels and allow set names up to 32 bytes.

15) Parse element flags from element deletion path and pass it up to the
    backend set implementation.

16) Allow adjacent intervals in the rbtree set type for dynamic interval
    updates.

17) Add support to set connlabel from nf_tables, from Florian Westphal.

18) Allow set names up to 32 bytes in nf_tables.

Several x_tables fixes and updates:

19) Fix incorrect use of IS_ERR_VALUE() in x_tables, original patch
    from Andrzej Hajda.

And finally, miscelaneous netfilter updates such as:

20) Disable automatic helper assignment by default. Note this proc knob
    was introduced by a9006892643a ("netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allow to
    disable automatic helper assignment") 4 years ago to start moving
    towards explicit conntrack helper configuration via iptables CT
    target.

21) Get rid of obsolete and inconsistent debugging instrumentation
    in x_tables.

22) Remove unnecessary check for null after ip6_route_output().

netfilter: conntrack: use single slab cache

2016-05-09T14:45:50+00:00

An earlier patch changed lookup side to also net_eq() namespaces after
obtaining a reference on the conntrack, so a single kmemcache can be used.

netfilter: conntrack: use a single nat bysource table for all namespaces

2016-05-09T14:45:49+00:00

We already include netns address in the hash, so we only need to use
net_eq in find_appropriate_src and can then put all entries into
same table.

netfilter: conntrack: use a single expectation table for all namespaces

2016-05-06T09:50:01+00:00

We already include netns address in the hash and compare the netns pointers
during lookup, so even if namespaces have overlapping addresses entries
will be spread across the expectation table.
