2012-10-21netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix racy timer handling with reliable eventsPablo Neira Ayuso
commit 5b423f6a40a0327f9d40bc8b97ce9be266f74368 upstream. Existing code assumes that del_timer returns true for alive conntrack entries. However, this is not true if reliable events are enabled. In that case, del_timer may return true for entries that were just inserted in the dying list. Note that packets / ctnetlink may hold references to conntrack entries that were just inserted to such list. This patch fixes the issue by adding an independent timer for event delivery. This increases the size of the ecache extension. Still we can revisit this later and use variable size extensions to allocate this area on demand.

2012-03-23netfilter: nf_conntrack: permanently attach timeout policy to conntrackPablo Neira Ayuso
We need to permanently attach the timeout policy to the conntrack, otherwise we may apply the custom timeout policy inconsistently. Without this patch, the following example: nfct timeout add test inet icmp timeout 100 iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p icmp -s 1.1.1.1 -j CT --timeout test Will only apply the custom timeout policy to outgoing packets from 1.1.1.1, but not to reply packets from 2.2.2.2 going to 1.1.1.1. To fix this issue, this patch modifies the current logic to attach the timeout policy when the first packet is seen (which is when the conntrack entry is created). Then, we keep using the attached timeout policy until the conntrack entry is destroyed. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

2012-03-07netfilter: xt_CT: allow to attach timeout policy + glue codePablo Neira Ayuso
This patch allows you to attach the timeout policy via the CT target, it adds a new revision of the target to ensure backward compatibility. Moreover, it also contains the glue code to stick the timeout object defined via nfnetlink_cttimeout to the given flow. Example usage (it requires installing the nfct tool and libnetfilter_cttimeout): 1) create the timeout policy: nfct timeout add tcp-policy0 inet tcp \ established 1000 close 10 time_wait 10 last_ack 10 2) attach the timeout policy to the packet: iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp -j CT --timeout tcp-policy0 You have to install the following user-space software: a) libnetfilter_cttimeout: git://git.netfilter.org/libnetfilter_cttimeout b) nfct: git://git.netfilter.org/nfct You also have to get iptables with -j CT --timeout support.

2012-03-07netfilter: nf_conntrack: pass timeout array to l4->new and l4->packetPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch defines a new interface for l4 protocol trackers: unsigned int *(*get_timeouts)(struct net *net); that is used to return the array of unsigned int that contains the timeouts that will be applied for this flow. This is passed to the l4proto->new(...) and l4proto->packet(...) functions to specify the timeout policy. This interface allows per-net global timeout configuration (although only DCCP supports this by now) and it will allow custom custom timeout configuration by means of follow-up patches.

2012-02-24netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries (v2)Jozsef Kadlecsik
Marcell Zambo and Janos Farago noticed and reported that when new conntrack entries are added via netlink and the conntrack table gets full, soft lockup happens. This is because the nf_conntrack_lock is held while nf_conntrack_alloc is called, which is in turn wants to lock nf_conntrack_lock while evicting entries from the full table. The patch fixes the soft lockup with limiting the holding of the nf_conntrack_lock to the minimum, where it's absolutely required. It required to extend (and thus change) nf_conntrack_hash_insert so that it makes sure conntrack and ctnetlink do not add the same entry twice to the conntrack table.

2011-02-09netfilter: nf_conntrack: set conntrack templates again if we return NF_REPEATPablo Neira Ayuso
The TCP tracking code has a special case that allows to return NF_REPEAT if we receive a new SYN packet while in TIME_WAIT state. In this situation, the TCP tracking code destroys the existing conntrack to start a new clean session. [DESTROY] tcp 6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=38925 dport=8000 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=8000 dport=38925 [ASSURED] [NEW] tcp 6 120 SYN_SENT src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=38925 dport=8000 [UNREPLIED] src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=8000 dport=38925 However, this is a problem for the iptables' CT target event filtering which will not work in this case since the conntrack template will not be there for the new session. To fix this, we reassign the conntrack template to the packet if we return NF_REPEAT. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2011-01-19netfilter: nf_conntrack_tstamp: add flow-based timestamp extensionPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds flow-based timestamping for conntracks. This conntrack extension is disabled by default. Basically, we use two 64-bits variables to store the creation timestamp once the conntrack has been confirmed and the other to store the deletion time. This extension is disabled by default, to enable it, you have to: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp This patch allows to save memory for user-space flow-based loogers such as ulogd2. In short, ulogd2 does not need to keep a hashtable with the conntrack in user-space to know when they were created and destroyed, instead we use the kernel timestamp. If we want to have a sane IPFIX implementation in user-space, this nanosecs resolution timestamps are also useful. Other custom user-space applications can benefit from this via libnetfilter_conntrack. This patch modifies the /proc output to display the delta time in seconds since the flow start. You can also obtain the flow-start date by means of the conntrack-tools. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2010-02-08netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix hash resizing with namespacesPatrick McHardy
As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through /sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it. Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for now as other namespaces are not handled currently. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-02-08netfilter: nf_conntrack: per netns nf_conntrack_cachepEric Dumazet
nf_conntrack_cachep is currently shared by all netns instances, but because of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU special semantics, this is wrong. If we use a shared slab cache, one object can instantly flight between one hash table (netns ONE) to another one (netns TWO), and concurrent reader (doing a lookup in netns ONE, 'finding' an object of netns TWO) can be fooled without notice, because no RCU grace period has to be observed between object freeing and its reuse. We dont have this problem with UDP/TCP slab caches because TCP/UDP hashtables are global to the machine (and each object has a pointer to its netns). If we use per netns conntrack hash tables, we also *must* use per netns conntrack slab caches, to guarantee an object can not escape from one namespace to another one.

2010-02-08netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix memory corruption with multiple namespacesPatrick McHardy
As discovered by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the "untracked" conntrack, which is located in the data section, might be accidentally freed when a new namespace is instantiated while the untracked conntrack is attached to a skb because the reference count it re-initialized. The best fix would be to use a seperate untracked conntrack per namespace since it includes a namespace pointer. Unfortunately this is not possible without larger changes since the namespace is not easily available everywhere we need it. For now move the untracked conntrack initialization to the init_net setup function to make sure the reference count is not re-initialized and handle cleanup in the init_net cleanup function to make sure namespaces can exit properly while the untracked conntrack is in use in other namespaces.
