Before releasing the global mutex, we only unlink the hashtable
from the hash list, its proc file is still not unregistered at
this point. So syzbot could trigger a race condition where a
parallel htable_create() could register the same file immediately
after the mutex is released.

Move htable_remove_proc_entry() back to mutex protection to
fix this. And, fold htable_destroy() into htable_put() to make
the code slightly easier to understand.

Phil reports that adding elements, flushing and re-adding them
right away:

  nft add table t '{ set s { type ipv4_addr . inet_service; flags interval; }; }'
  nft add element t s '{ 10.0.0.1 . 22-25, 10.0.0.1 . 10-20 }'
  nft flush set t s
  nft add element t s '{ 10.0.0.1 . 10-20, 10.0.0.1 . 22-25 }'

triggers, almost reliably, a crash like this one:

On a flush operation, nft_pipapo_walk() walks through all the elements
in the mapping table, which are then deactivated by nft_flush_set(),
one by one, and added to the commit list for removal. Element data is
then freed.

On transaction commit, nft_pipapo_remove() is called, and failed to
remove these elements, leading to the stale references in the mapping.
The first symptom of this, revealed by KASan, is a one-byte
use-after-free in subsequent calls to nft_pipapo_walk(), which is
usually not enough to trigger a panic. When stale elements are used
more heavily, though, such as double-free via nft_pipapo_destroy()
as in Phil's case, the problem becomes more noticeable.

The issue comes from that fact that, on a flush operation,
nft_pipapo_remove() won't get the actual key data via elem-&gt;key,
elements to be deleted upon commit won't be found by the lookup via
pipapo_get(), and removal will be skipped. Key data should be fetched
via nft_set_ext_key(), instead.

====================
ipset patches for nf

The first one is larger than usual, but the issue could not be solved simpler.
Also, it's a resend of the patch I submitted a few days ago, with a one line
fix on top of that: the size of the comment extensions was not taken into
account at reporting the full size of the set.

====================
ipset patches for nf

The first one is larger than usual, but the issue could not be solved simpler.
Also, it's a resend of the patch I submitted a few days ago, with a one line
fix on top of that: the size of the comment extensions was not taken into
account at reporting the full size of the set.

When the forceadd option is enabled, the hash:* types should find and replace
the first entry in the bucket with the new one if there are no reuseable
(deleted or timed out) entries. However, the position index was just not set
to zero and remained the invalid -1 if there were no reuseable entries.

In the case of huge hash:* types of sets, due to the single spinlock of
a set the processing of the whole set under spinlock protection could take
too long.

There were four places where the whole hash table of the set was processed
from bucket to bucket under holding the spinlock:

- During resizing a set, the original set was locked to exclude kernel side
  add/del element operations (userspace add/del is excluded by the
  nfnetlink mutex). The original set is actually just read during the
  resize, so the spinlocking is replaced with rcu locking of regions.
  However, thus there can be parallel kernel side add/del of entries.
  In order not to loose those operations a backlog is added and replayed
  after the successful resize.
- Garbage collection of timed out entries was also protected by the spinlock.
  In order not to lock too long, region locking is introduced and a single
  region is processed in one gc go. Also, the simple timer based gc running
  is replaced with a workqueue based solution. The internal book-keeping
  (number of elements, size of extensions) is moved to region level due to
  the region locking.
- Adding elements: when the max number of the elements is reached, the gc
  was called to evict the timed out entries. The new approach is that the gc
  is called just for the matching region, assuming that if the region
  (proportionally) seems to be full, then the whole set does. We could scan
  the other regions to check every entry under rcu locking, but for huge
  sets it'd mean a slowdown at adding elements.
- Listing the set header data: when the set was defined with timeout
  support, the garbage collector was called to clean up timed out entries
  to get the correct element numbers and set size values. Now the set is
  scanned to check non-timed out entries, without actually calling the gc
  for the whole set.

Thanks to Florian Westphal for helping me to solve the SOFTIRQ-safe -&gt;
SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order issues during working on the patch.

I originally used unlikely() in the if (match_only) clause, which
we hit on the mapping table for the last field in a set, to ensure
we avoid branching to the rest of for loop body, which is executed
more frequently.

However, Pablo reports, this is confusing as it gives the impression
that this is not a common case, and it's actually not the intended
usage of unlikely().

I couldn't observe any statistical difference in matching rates on
x864_64 and aarch64 without it, so just drop it.

<content type='text'>
This patch further relaxes the need to drop an skb due to a clash with
an existing conntrack entry.

Current clash resolution handles the case where the clash occurs between
two identical entries (distinct nf_conn objects with same tuples), i.e.:

                    Original                        Reply
existing: 10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53      10.2.3.4:42 &lt;- 10.0.0.6:5353
clashing: 10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53      10.2.3.4:42 &lt;- 10.0.0.6:5353

... existing handling will discard the unconfirmed clashing entry and
makes skb-&gt;_nfct point to the existing one.  The skb can then be
processed normally just as if the clash would not have existed in the
first place.

For other clashes, the skb needs to be dropped.
This frequently happens with DNS resolvers that send A and AAAA queries
back-to-back when NAT rules are present that cause packets to get
different DNAT transformations applied, for example:

-m statistics --mode random ... -j DNAT --dnat-to 10.0.0.6:5353
-m statistics --mode random ... -j DNAT --dnat-to 10.0.0.7:5353

In this case the A or AAAA query is dropped which incurs a costly
delay during name resolution.

This patch also allows this collision type:
                       Original                   Reply
existing: 10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53      10.2.3.4:42 &lt;- 10.0.0.6:5353
clashing: 10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53      10.2.3.4:42 &lt;- 10.0.0.7:5353

In this case, clash is in original direction -- the reply direction
is still unique.

The change makes it so that when the 2nd colliding packet is received,
the clashing conntrack is tagged with new IPS_NAT_CLASH_BIT, gets a fixed
1 second timeout and is inserted in the reply direction only.

The entry is hidden from 'conntrack -L', it will time out quickly
and it can be early dropped because it will never progress to the
ASSURED state.

To avoid special-casing the delete code path to special case
the ORIGINAL hlist_nulls node, a new helper, "hlist_nulls_add_fake", is
added so hlist_nulls_del() will work.

Example:

      CPU A:                               CPU B:
1.  10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53 (A)
2.                                         10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53 (AAAA)
3.  Apply DNAT, reply changed to 10.0.0.6
4.                                         10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53 (AAAA)
5.                                         Apply DNAT, reply changed to 10.0.0.7
6. confirm/commit to conntrack table, no collisions
7.                                         commit clashing entry

Reply comes in:

10.2.3.4:42 &lt;- 10.0.0.6:5353 (A)
 -&gt; Finds a conntrack, DNAT is reversed &amp; packet forwarded to 10.2.3.4:42
10.2.3.4:42 &lt;- 10.0.0.7:5353 (AAAA)
 -&gt; Finds a conntrack, DNAT is reversed &amp; packet forwarded to 10.2.3.4:42
    The conntrack entry is deleted from table, as it has the NAT_CLASH
    bit set.

In case of a retransmit from ORIGINAL dir, all further packets will get
the DNAT transformation to 10.0.0.6.

I tried to come up with other solutions but they all have worse
problems.

Alternatives considered were:
1.  Confirm ct entries at allocation time, not in postrouting.
 a. will cause uneccesarry work when the skb that creates the
    conntrack is dropped by ruleset.
 b. in case nat is applied, ct entry would need to be moved in
    the table, which requires another spinlock pair to be taken.
 c. breaks the 'unconfirmed entry is private to cpu' assumption:
    we would need to guard all nfct-&gt;ext allocation requests with
    ct-&gt;lock spinlock.

2. Make the unconfirmed list a hash table instead of a pcpu list.
   Shares drawback c) of the first alternative.

3. Document this is expected and force users to rearrange their
   ruleset (e.g. by using "-m cluster" instead of "-m statistics").
   nft has the 'jhash' expression which can be used instead of 'numgen'.

   Major drawback: doesn't fix what I consider a bug, not very realistic
   and I believe its reasonable to have the existing rulesets to 'just
   work'.

4. Document this is expected and force users to steer problematic
   packets to the same CPU -- this would serialize the "allocate new
   conntrack entry/nat table evaluation/perform nat/confirm entry", so
   no race can occur.  Similar drawback to 3.

Another advantage of this patch compared to 1) and 2) is that there are
no changes to the hot path; things are handled in the udp tracker and
the clash resolution path.

Followup patch will need a helper function with the 'clashing entries
refer to the identical tuple in both directions' resolution logic.

This patch will add another resolve_clash helper where loser_ct must
not be added to the dying list because it will be inserted into the
table.

Therefore this also moves the stat counters and dying-list insertion
of the losing ct.
