Pablo Neira Ayuso 5097846230 netfilter: add cttimeout infrastructure for fine timeout tuning
This patch adds the infrastructure to add fine timeout tuning
over nfnetlink. Now you can use the NFNL_SUBSYS_CTNETLINK_TIMEOUT
subsystem to create/delete/dump timeout objects that contain some
specific timeout policy for one flow.

The follow up patches will allow you attach timeout policy object
to conntrack via the CT target and the conntrack extension
infrastructure.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 9413902796 netfilter: add extended accounting infrastructure over nfnetlink
We currently have two ways to account traffic in netfilter:

- iptables chain and rule counters:

 # iptables -L -n -v
Chain INPUT (policy DROP 3 packets, 867 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination
    8  1104 ACCEPT     all  --  lo     *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0

- use flow-based accounting provided by ctnetlink:

 # conntrack -L
tcp      6 431999 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.1.130 dst=212.106.219.168 sport=58152 dport=80 packets=47 bytes=7654 src=212.106.219.168 dst=192.168.1.130 sport=80 dport=58152 packets=49 bytes=66340 [ASSURED] mark=0 use=1

While trying to display real-time accounting statistics, we require
to pool the kernel periodically to obtain this information. This is
OK if the number of flows is relatively low. However, in case that
the number of flows is huge, we can spend a considerable amount of
cycles to iterate over the list of flows that have been obtained.

Moreover, if we want to obtain the sum of the flow accounting results
that match some criteria, we have to iterate over the whole list of
existing flows, look for matchings and update the counters.

This patch adds the extended accounting infrastructure for
nfnetlink which aims to allow displaying real-time traffic accounting
without the need of complicated and resource-consuming implementation
in user-space. Basically, this new infrastructure allows you to create
accounting objects. One accounting object is composed of packet and
byte counters.

In order to manipulate create accounting objects, you require the
new libnetfilter_acct library. It contains several examples of use:

libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-add http-traffic
libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-get
http-traffic = { pkts = 000000000000,   bytes = 000000000000 };

Then, you can use one of this accounting objects in several iptables
rules using the new nfacct match (which comes in a follow-up patch):

 # iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic
 # iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic

The idea is simple: if one packet matches the rule, the nfacct match
updates the counters.

Thanks to Patrick McHardy, Eric Dumazet, Changli Gao for reviewing and
providing feedback for this contribution.

Jozsef Kadlecsik a7b4f989a6 netfilter: ipset: IP set core support
The patch adds the IP set core support to the kernel.

The IP set core implements a netlink (nfnetlink) based protocol by which
one can create, destroy, flush, rename, swap, list, save, restore sets,
and add, delete, test elements from userspace. For simplicity (and backward
compatibilty and for not to force ip(6)tables to be linked with a netlink
library) reasons a small getsockopt-based protocol is also kept in order
to communicate with the ip(6)tables match and target.

The netlink protocol passes all u16, etc values in network order with
NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flag. The protocol enforces the proper use of the
NLA_F_NESTED and NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flags.

For other kernel subsystems (netfilter match and target) the API contains
the functions to add, delete and test elements in sets and the required calls
to get/put refereces to the sets before those operations can be performed.

The set types (which are implemented in independent modules) are stored
in a simple RCU protected list. A set type may have variants: for example
without timeout or with timeout support, for IPv4 or for IPv6. The sets
(i.e. the pointers to the sets) are stored in an array. The sets are
identified by their index in the array, which makes possible easy and
fast swapping of sets. The array is protected indirectly by the nfnl
mutex from nfnetlink. The content of the sets are protected by the rwlock
of the set.

There are functional differences between the add/del/test functions
for the kernel and userspace:

- kernel add/del/test: works on the current packet (i.e. one element)
- kernel test: may trigger an "add" operation  in order to fill
  out unspecified parts of the element from the packet (like MAC address)
- userspace add/del: works on the netlink message and thus possibly
  on multiple elements from the IPSET_ATTR_ADT container attribute.
- userspace add: may trigger resizing of a set

Pablo Neira Ayuso a992ca2a04 netfilter: nf_conntrack_tstamp: add flow-based timestamp extension
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.

This patch implements the "second best choice".

Thomas Graf 43f393caec netfilter: audit target to record accepted/dropped packets
This patch adds a new netfilter target which creates audit records
for packets traversing a certain chain.

It can be used to record packets which are rejected administraively
as follows:

  -N AUDIT_DROP
  -A AUDIT_DROP -j AUDIT --type DROP
  -A AUDIT_DROP -j DROP

a rule which would typically drop or reject a packet would then
invoke the new chain to record packets before dropping them.

  -j AUDIT_DROP

The module is protocol independant and works for iptables, ip6tables
and ebtables.

The following information is logged:
 - netfilter hook
 - packet length
 - incomming/outgoing interface
 - MAC src/dst/proto for ethernet packets
 - src/dst/protocol address for IPv4/IPv6
 - src/dst port for TCP/UDP/UDPLITE
 - icmp type/code

Eric Dumazet e8648a1fdb netfilter: add xt_cpu match
In some situations a CPU match permits a better spreading of
connections, or select targets only for a given cpu.

With Remote Packet Steering or multiqueue NIC and appropriate IRQ
affinities, we can distribute trafic on available cpus, per session.
(all RX packets for a given flow is handled by a given cpu)

Some legacy applications being not SMP friendly, one way to scale a
server is to run multiple copies of them.

Instead of randomly choosing an instance, we can use the cpu number as a
key so that softirq handler for a whole instance is running on a single
cpu, maximizing cache effects in TCP/UDP stacks.

Using NAT for example, a four ways machine might run four copies of
server application, using a separate listening port for each instance,
but still presenting an unique external port :

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 0 \
        -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 1 \
        -j REDIRECT --to-port 8081

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 2 \
        -j REDIRECT --to-port 8082

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 3 \
        -j REDIRECT --to-port 8083

Michael S. Tsirkin edf0e1fb0d netfilter: add CHECKSUM target
This adds a `CHECKSUM' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle
table.

You can use this target to compute and fill in the checksum in
a packet that lacks a checksum.  This is particularly useful,
if you need to work around old applications such as dhcp clients,
that do not work well with checksum offloads, but don't want to
disable checksum offload in your device.

The problem happens in the field with virtualized applications.
For reference, see Red Hat bz 605555, as well as
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg37660.html

Typical expected use (helps old dhclient binary running in a VM):
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport bootpc \
	-j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill

Luciano Coelho 0902b469bd netfilter: xtables: idletimer target implementation
This patch implements an idletimer Xtables target that can be used to
identify when interfaces have been idle for a certain period of time.

Timers are identified by labels and are created when a rule is set with a new
label.  The rules also take a timeout value (in seconds) as an option.  If
more than one rule uses the same timer label, the timer will be restarted
whenever any of the rules get a hit.

One entry for each timer is created in sysfs.  This attribute contains the
timer remaining for the timer to expire.  The attributes are located under
the xt_idletimer class:

/sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/<label>

When the timer expires, the target module sends a sysfs notification to the
userspace, which can then decide what to do (eg. disconnect to save power).

Evgeniy Polyakov 11eeef41d5 netfilter: passive OS fingerprint xtables match
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.
Thank you.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 0269ea4937 netfilter: xtables: add cluster match
This patch adds the iptables cluster match. This match can be used
to deploy gateway and back-end load-sharing clusters. The cluster
can be composed of 32 nodes maximum (although I have only tested
this with two nodes, so I cannot tell what is the real scalability
limit of this solution in terms of cluster nodes).

Assuming that all the nodes see all packets (see below for an
example on how to do that if your switch does not allow this), the
cluster match decides if this node has to handle a packet given:

	(jhash(source IP) % total_nodes) & node_mask

For related connections, the master conntrack is used. The following
is an example of its use to deploy a gateway cluster composed of two
nodes (where this is the node 1):

iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth1 -m cluster \
	--cluster-total-nodes 2 --cluster-local-node 1 \
	--cluster-proc-name eth1 -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff
iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth1 \
	-m mark ! --mark 0xffff -j DROP
iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth2 -m cluster \
	--cluster-total-nodes 2 --cluster-local-node 1 \
	--cluster-proc-name eth2 -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff
iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth2 \
	-m mark ! --mark 0xffff -j DROP

And the following commands to make all nodes see the same packets:

ip maddr add 01:00:5e:00:01:01 dev eth1
ip maddr add 01:00:5e:00:01:02 dev eth2
arptables -I OUTPUT -o eth1 --h-length 6 \
	-j mangle --mangle-mac-s 01:00:5e:00:01:01
arptables -I INPUT -i eth1 --h-length 6 \
	--destination-mac 01:00:5e:00:01:01 \
	-j mangle --mangle-mac-d 00:zz:yy:xx:5a:27
arptables -I OUTPUT -o eth2 --h-length 6 \
	-j mangle --mangle-mac-s 01:00:5e:00:01:02
arptables -I INPUT -i eth2 --h-length 6 \
	--destination-mac 01:00:5e:00:01:02 \
	-j mangle --mangle-mac-d 00:zz:yy:xx:5a:27

In the case of TCP connections, pickup facility has to be disabled
to avoid marking TCP ACK packets coming in the reply direction as
valid.

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_tcp_loose

BTW, some final notes:

 * This match mangles the skbuff pkt_type in case that it detects
PACKET_MULTICAST for a non-multicast address. This may be done in
a PKTTYPE target for this sole purpose.
 * This match supersedes the CLUSTERIP target.

$ git mv net/ipv4/ipvs net/netfilter

and adapting the relevant Kconfigs/Makefiles to the new path.

Krzysztof Piotr Oledzki 584015727a netfilter: accounting rework: ct_extend + 64bit counters (v4)
Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but
it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are
still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters
waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime.

This patch:
 - reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure,
 - makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(),
 - makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n),
 - makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs,
 - extends counters from 32bit to 64bit,
 - renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter,
 - enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT),
 - set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT
 - removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling.

If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend.
Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area
to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with
acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".

Patrick McHardy 50c164a81f [NETFILTER]: x_tables: add rateest match
Add rate estimator match. The rate estimator match can match on
estimated rates by the RATEEST target. It supports matching on
absolute bps/pps values, comparing two rate estimators and matching
on the difference between two rate estimators.

This is what I use to route outgoing data connections from a FTP
server over two lines based on the  available bandwidth:

# estimate outgoing rates

Yasuyuki Kozakai ecfab2c9fe [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: introduce extension infrastructure
Old space allocator of conntrack had problems about extensibility.
- It required slab cache per combination of extensions.
- It expected what extensions would be assigned, but it was impossible
  to expect that completely, then we allocated bigger memory object than
  really required.
- It needed to search helper twice due to lock issue.

Now basic informations of a connection are stored in 'struct nf_conn'.
And a storage for extension (helper, NAT) is allocated by kmalloc.

Add a new xtables target, CONNSECMARK, which is used to specify rules
for copying security marks from packets to connections, and for
copyying security marks back from connections to packets.  This is
similar to the CONNMARK target, but is more limited in scope in that
it only allows copying of security marks to and from packets, as this
is all it needs to do.

A typical scenario would be to apply a security mark to a 'new' packet
with SECMARK, then copy that to its conntrack via CONNMARK, and then
restore the security mark from the connection to established and
related packets on that connection.

Harald Welte 2e4e6a17af [NETFILTER] x_tables: Abstraction layer for {ip,ip6,arp}_tables
This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables.  In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.

o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
  wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
  are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
  to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
  include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
  around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers

Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only
handle ipv4.  There were basically two choices present to add
connection tracking support for ipv6.  We could either duplicate all
of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the
choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that
could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol
(TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written.

In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3
protocol.

The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal
with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6,
which is also cured here.  For example, these issues include:

1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in
   ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate
   in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP
   messages

2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because
   the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag"
   (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply
   isn't feasible in ipv6

3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots
   before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were
   no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking
   design

4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT

The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of
the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack
and it is feature complete.  Once that occurs, the old conntrack
stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will
fully kill it off 6 months later.

Harald Welte f6ebe77f95 [NETFILTER]: split net/core/netfilter.c into net/netfilter/*.c
This patch doesn't introduce any code changes, but merely splits the
core netfilter code into four separate files.  It also moves it from
it's old location in net/core/ to the recently-created net/netfilter/
directory.

Harald Welte 0597f2680d [NETFILTER]: Add new "nfnetlink_log" userspace packet logging facility
This is a generic (layer3 independent) version of what ipt_ULOG is already
doing for IPv4 today.  ipt_ULOG, ebt_ulog and finally also ip[6]t_LOG will
be deprecated by this mechanism in the long term.

Harald Welte f9e815b376 [NETFITLER]: Add nfnetlink layer.
Introduce "nfnetlink" (netfilter netlink) layer.  This layer is used as
transport layer for all userspace communication of the new upcoming
netfilter subsystems, such as ctnetlink, nfnetlink_queue and some day even
the mythical pkttables ;)
