2009-08-17net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definitionEric Dumazet
In 5e140dfc1fe87eae27846f193086724806b33c7d "net: reorder struct Qdisc for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to userland via netlink. Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason. Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land, using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic) Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

2009-07-16netfilter: nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack_alloc() fixesEric Dumazet
When a slab cache uses SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, we must be careful when allocating objects, since slab allocator could give a freed object still used by lockless readers. In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next object in hash chain.) kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next. Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself. As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2009-07-12genetlink: make netns awareJohannes Berg
This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No generic netlink families except for the controller family are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by one and then set the family->netnsok member to true. A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace, for example when it applies to an object that lives in that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns() to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects that do not have an associated netns). The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast the message in just init_net, which is currently correct for all generic netlink families since they only work in init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all net namespaces because they do not care about the netns at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns aware in some way. After this patch families can easily decide whether or not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many genl families us it for objects not related to networking and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but that will have to be done on a per family basis. Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart problem where network namespaces could be used, genl families and multicast groups are numbered globally and I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces for those families that do not care about netns.

When NAT helpers change the TCP packet size, the highest seen sequence number needs to be corrected. This is currently only done upwards, when the packet size is reduced the sequence number is unchanged. This causes TCP conntrack to falsely detect unacknowledged data and decrease the timeout.

2009-06-25nf_conntrack: Use rcu_barrier()Jesper Dangaard Brouer
RCU barriers, rcu_barrier(), is inserted two places. In nf_conntrack_expect.c nf_conntrack_expect_fini() before the kmem_cache_destroy(). Firstly to make sure the callback to the nf_ct_expect_free_rcu() code is still around. Secondly because I'm unsure about the consequence of having in flight nf_ct_expect_free_rcu/kmem_cache_free() calls while doing a kmem_cache_destroy() slab destroy. And in nf_conntrack_extend.c nf_ct_extend_unregister(), inorder to wait for completion of callbacks to __nf_ct_ext_free_rcu(), which is invoked by __nf_ct_ext_add(). It might be more efficient to call rcu_barrier() in nf_conntrack_core.c nf_conntrack_cleanup_net(), but thats make it more difficult to read the code (as the callback code in located in nf_conntrack_extend.c).

2009-06-22netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix conntrack lookup racePatrick McHardy
The RCU protected conntrack hash lookup only checks whether the entry has a refcount of zero to decide whether it is stale.

2009-06-22netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix confirmation race conditionPatrick McHardy
New connection tracking entries are inserted into the hash before they are fully set up, namely the CONFIRMED bit is not set and the timer not started yet.

death_by_timeout() might delete a conntrack from hash list and insert it in dying list. nf_ct_delete_from_lists(ct); nf_ct_insert_dying_list(ct); I believe a (lockless) reader could *catch* ct while doing a lookup and miss the end of its chain. (nulls lookup algo must check the null value at the end of lookup and should restart if the null value is not the expected one. cf Documentation/RCU/rculist_nulls.txt for details) We need to change nf_conntrack_init_net() and use a different "null" value, guaranteed not being used in regular lists.

2009-06-13netfilter: conntrack: optional reliable conntrack event deliveryPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch improves ctnetlink event reliability if one broadcast listener has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option. The logic is the following: if an event delivery fails, we keep the undelivered events in the missed event cache. Once the next packet arrives, we add the new events (if any) to the missed events in the cache and we try a new delivery, and so on. Thus, if ctnetlink fails to deliver an event, we try to deliver them once we see a new packet. Therefore, we may lose state transitions but the userspace process gets in sync at some point. At worst case, if no events were delivered to userspace, we make sure that destroy events are successfully delivered. Basically, if ctnetlink fails to deliver the destroy event, we remove the conntrack entry from the hashes and we insert them in the dying list, which contains inactive entries. Then, the conntrack timer is added with an extra grace timeout of random32() % 15 seconds to trigger the event again (this grace timeout is tunable via /proc). The use of a limited random timeout value allows distributing the "destroy" resends, thus, avoiding accumulating lots "destroy" events at the same time. Event delivery may re-order but we can identify them by means of the tuple plus the conntrack ID. The maximum number of conntrack entries (active or inactive) is still handled by nf_conntrack_max. Thus, we may start dropping packets at some point if we accumulate a lot of inactive conntrack entries that did not successfully report the destroy event to userspace. During my stress tests consisting of setting a very small buffer of 2048 bytes for conntrackd and the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag, and generating lots of very small connections, I noticed very few destroy entries on the fly waiting to be resend. A simple way to test this patch consist of creating a lot of entries, set a very small Netlink buffer in conntrackd (+ a patch which is not in the git tree to set the BROADCAST_ERROR flag) and invoke `conntrack -F'. For expectations, no changes are introduced in this patch. Currently, event delivery is only done for new expectations (no events from expectation expiration, removal and confirmation). In that case, they need a per-expectation event cache to implement the same idea that is exposed in this patch. This patch can be useful to provide reliable flow-accouting. We still have to add a new conntrack extension to store the creation and destroy time. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2009-06-13netfilter: conntrack: move event caching to conntrack extension infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso
This patch reworks the per-cpu event caching to use the conntrack extension infrastructure. The main drawback is that we consume more memory per conntrack if event delivery is enabled. This patch is required by the reliable event delivery that follows to this patch. BTW, this patch allows you to enable/disable event delivery via /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_events in runtime, although you can still disable event caching as compilation option.

2009-06-13netfilter: nf_conntrack: use mod_timer_pending() for conntrack refreshPatrick McHardy
Use mod_timer_pending() instead of atomic sequence of del_timer()/ add_timer(). mod_timer_pending() does not rearm an inactive timer, so we don't need the conntrack lock anymore to make sure we don't accidentally rearm a timer of a conntrack which is in the process of being destroyed. With this change, we don't need to take the global lock anymore at all, counter updates can be performed under the per-conntrack lock. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

Passive OS fingerprinting netfilter module allows to passively detect remote OS and perform various netfilter actions based on that knowledge. This module compares some data (WS, MSS, options and it's order, ttl, df and others) from packets with SYN bit set with dynamically loaded OS fingerprints. Fingerprint matching rules can be downloaded from OpenBSD source tree or found in archive and loaded via netfilter netlink subsystem into the kernel via special util found in archive. Archive contains library file (also attached), which was shipped with iptables extensions some time ago (at least when ipt_osf existed in patch-o-matic). Following changes were made in this release: * added NLM_F_CREATE/NLM_F_EXCL checks * dropped _rcu list traversing helpers in the protected add/remove calls * dropped unneded structures, debug prints, obscure comment and check Fingerprints can be downloaded from http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/etc/pf.os or can be found in archive Example usage: -d switch removes fingerprints Please consider for inclusion.

This patch also changes nfnetlink_send(). It seems that gfp_any() returns GFP_KERNEL for user-context request, like those via ctnetlink, inside the RCU read-side section which is not valid. Using GFP_KERNEL is also evil since netlink may schedule(), this leads to "scheduling while atomic" bug reports. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2009-06-02netfilter: conntrack: simplify event caching systemPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch simplifies the conntrack event caching system by removing several events: * IPCT_[*]_VOLATILE, IPCT_HELPINFO and IPCT_NATINFO has been deleted since the have no clients. * IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING which is a leftover of the 32-bits counter days. * IPCT_REFRESH which is not of any use since we always include the timeout in the messages. After this patch, the existing events are: * IPCT_NEW, IPCT_RELATED and IPCT_DESTROY, that are used to identify addition and deletion of entries. * IPCT_STATUS, that notes that the status bits have changes, eg. IPS_SEEN_REPLY and IPS_ASSURED. * IPCT_PROTOINFO, that reports that internal protocol information has changed, eg. the TCP, DCCP and SCTP protocol state. * IPCT_HELPER, that a helper has been assigned or unassigned to this entry. * IPCT_MARK and IPCT_SECMARK, that reports that the mark has changed, this covers the case when a mark is set to zero. * IPCT_NATSEQADJ, to report that there's updates in the NAT sequence adjustment.
