Pablo Neira Ayuso e553116652 netfilter: remove messages print and boot/module load time
Several reasons for this:

* Several modules maintain internal version numbers, that they print at
  boot/module load time, that are not exposed to userspace, as a
  primitive mechanism to make revision number control from the earlier
  days of Netfilter.

* IPset shows the protocol version at boot/module load time, instead
  display this via module description, as Jozsef suggested.

* Remove copyright notice at boot/module load time in two spots, the
  Netfilter codebase is a collective development effort, if we would
  have to display copyrights for each contributor at boot/module load
  time for each extensions we have, we would probably fill up logs with
  lots of useless information - from a technical standpoint.

So let's be consistent and remove them all.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 90964016e5 netfilter: nf_conntrack: add IPS_OFFLOAD status bit
This new bit tells us that the conntrack entry is owned by the flow
table offload infrastructure.

 # cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack
 ipv4     2 tcp      6 src=10.141.10.2 dst=147.75.205.195 sport=36392 dport=443 src=147.75.205.195 dst=192.168.2.195 sport=443 dport=36392 [OFFLOAD] mark=0 zone=0 use=2

Note the [OFFLOAD] tag in the listing.

The timer of such conntrack entries look like stopped from userspace.
In practise, to make sure the conntrack entry does not go away, the
conntrack timer is periodically set to an arbitrary large value that
gets refreshed on every iteration from the garbage collector, so it
never expires- and they display no internal state in the case of TCP
flows. This allows us to save a bitcheck from the packet path via
nf_ct_is_expired().

Conntrack entries that have been offloaded to the flow table
infrastructure cannot be deleted/flushed via ctnetlink. The flow table
infrastructure is also responsible for releasing this conntrack entry.

Vincent Guittot 0984d427c1 netfilter: conntrack: use power efficient workqueue
conntrack uses the bounded system_long_wq workqueue for its works that
don't have to run on the cpu they have been queued.
Using bounded workqueue prevents the scheduler to make smart decision about
the best place to schedule the work.

This patch replaces system_long_wq with system_power_efficient_wq. the work
stays bounded to a cpu by default unless the CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is
enable. In the latter case, the work can be scheduled on the best cpu from
a power or a performance point of view.

Florian Westphal 5caaed151a netfilter: conntrack: don't cache nlattr_tuple_size result in nla_size
We currently call ->nlattr_tuple_size() once at register time and
cache result in l4proto->nla_size.

nla_size is the only member that is written to, avoiding this would
allow to make l4proto trackers const.

We can use ->nlattr_tuple_size() at run time, and cache result in
the individual trackers instead.

This is an intermediate step, next patch removes nlattr_size()
callback and computes size at compile time, then removes nla_size.

queued skbs might be using conntrack extensions that are being removed,
such as timeout.  This happens for skbs that have a skb->nfct in
unconfirmed state (i.e., not in hash table yet).

This is destructive, but there are only two use cases:
 - module removal (rare)
 - netns cleanup (most likely no conntracks exist, and if they do,
   they are removed anyway later on).

As we want to remove spin_unlock_wait() and replace it with explicit
spin_lock()/spin_unlock() calls, we can use this to simplify the
locking.

In addition:
- Reading nf_conntrack_locks_all needs ACQUIRE memory ordering.
- The new code avoids the backwards loop.

Only slightly tested, I did not manage to trigger calls to
nf_conntrack_all_lock().

V2: With improved comments, to clearly show how the barriers

Taehee Yoo 0b35f6031a netfilter: Remove duplicated rcu_read_lock.
This patch removes duplicate rcu_read_lock().

1. IPVS part:

According to Julian Anastasov's mention, contexts of ipvs are described
at: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=149562884514072&w=2, in summary:

 - packet RX/TX: does not need locks because packets come from hooks.
 - sync msg RX: backup server uses RCU locks while registering new
   connections.
 - ip_vs_ctl.c: configuration get/set, RCU locks needed.
 - xt_ipvs.c: It is a netfilter match, running from hook context.

As result, rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock can be removed from:

 - ip_vs_core.c: all
 - ip_vs_ctl.c:
   - only from ip_vs_has_real_service
 - ip_vs_ftp.c: all
 - ip_vs_proto_sctp.c: all
 - ip_vs_proto_tcp.c: all
 - ip_vs_proto_udp.c: all
 - ip_vs_xmit.c: all (contains only packet processing)

2. Netfilter part:

There are three types of functions that are guaranteed the rcu_read_lock().
First, as result, functions are only called by nf_hook():

 - nf_conntrack_broadcast_help(), pptp_expectfn(), set_expected_rtp_rtcp().
 - tcpmss_reverse_mtu(), tproxy_laddr4(), tproxy_laddr6().
 - match_lookup_rt6(), check_hlist(), hashlimit_mt_common().
 - xt_osf_match_packet().

Second, functions that caller already held the rcu_read_lock().
 - destroy_conntrack(), ctnetlink_conntrack_event().
 - ctnl_timeout_find_get(), nfqnl_nf_hook_drop().

Third, functions that are mixed with type1 and type2.

These functions are called by nf_hook() also these are called by
ordinary functions that already held the rcu_read_lock():

 - __ctnetlink_glue_build(), ctnetlink_expect_event().
 - ctnetlink_proto_size().

Applied files are below:

- nf_conntrack_broadcast.c, nf_conntrack_core.c, nf_conntrack_netlink.c.
- nf_conntrack_pptp.c, nf_conntrack_sip.c, nfnetlink_cttimeout.c.
- nfnetlink_queue.c, xt_TCPMSS.c, xt_TPROXY.c, xt_addrtype.c.
- xt_connlimit.c, xt_hashlimit.c, xt_osf.c

Florian Westphal 7866cc57b5 netns: add and use net_ns_barrier
Quoting Joe Stringer:
  If a user loads nf_conntrack_ftp, sends FTP traffic through a network
  namespace, destroys that namespace then unloads the FTP helper module,
  then the kernel will crash.

Events that lead to the crash:
1. conntrack is created with ftp helper in netns x
2. This netns is destroyed
3. netns destruction is scheduled
4. netns destruction wq starts, removes netns from global list
5. ftp helper is unloaded, which resets all helpers of the conntracks
via for_each_net()

but because netns is already gone from list the for_each_net() loop
doesn't include it, therefore all of these conntracks are unaffected.

6. helper module unload finishes
7. netns wq invokes destructor for rmmod'ed helper

Florian Westphal b0feacaad1 netfilter: conntrack: don't call iter for non-confirmed conntracks
nf_ct_iterate_cleanup_net currently calls iter() callback also for
conntracks on the unconfirmed list, but this is unsafe.

Acesses to nf_conn are fine, but some users access the extension area
in the iter() callback, but that does only work reliably for confirmed
conntracks (ct->ext can be reallocated at any time for unconfirmed
conntrack).

The seond issue is that there is a short window where a conntrack entry
is neither on the list nor in the table: To confirm an entry, it is first
removed from the unconfirmed list, then insert into the table.

Fix this by iterating the unconfirmed list first and marking all entries
as dying, then wait for rcu grace period.

This makes sure all entries that were about to be confirmed either are
in the main table, or will be dropped soon.

Florian Westphal 9fd6452d67 netfilter: conntrack: rename nf_ct_iterate_cleanup
There are several places where we needlesly call nf_ct_iterate_cleanup,
we should instead iterate the full table at module unload time.

This is a leftover from back when the conntrack table got duplicated
per net namespace.

So rename nf_ct_iterate_cleanup to nf_ct_iterate_cleanup_net.
A later patch will then add a non-net variant.

Florian Westphal c6dd940b1f netfilter: allow early drop of assured conntracks
If insertion of a new conntrack fails because the table is full, the kernel
searches the next buckets of the hash slot where the new connection
was supposed to be inserted at for an entry that hasn't seen traffic
in reply direction (non-assured), if it finds one, that entry is
is dropped and the new connection entry is allocated.

Allow the conntrack gc worker to also remove *assured* conntracks if
resources are low.

Do this by querying the l4 tracker, e.g. tcp connections are now dropped
if they are no longer established (e.g. in finwait).

This could be refined further, e.g. by adding 'soft' established timeout
(i.e., a timeout that is only used once we get close to resource
exhaustion).

Paul E. McKenney 5f0d5a3ae7 mm: Rename SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU
A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted
from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence
guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated
during an RCU read-side critical section.  Of course, that is not the
case.  Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire
slab of blocks.

However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety".  This commit
therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order
to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion.

Florian Westphal cc41c84b7e netfilter: kill the fake untracked conntrack objects
resurrect an old patch from Pablo Neira to remove the untracked objects.

Currently, there are four possible states of an skb wrt. conntrack.

1. No conntrack attached, ct is NULL.
2. Normal (kmem cache allocated) ct attached.
3. a template (kmalloc'd), not in any hash tables at any point in time
4. the 'untracked' conntrack, a percpu nf_conn object, tagged via
   IPS_UNTRACKED_BIT in ct->status.

Untracked is supposed to be identical to case 1.  It exists only
so users can check

-m conntrack --ctstate UNTRACKED vs.
-m conntrack --ctstate INVALID

e.g. attempts to set connmark on INVALID or UNTRACKED conntracks is
supposed to be a no-op.

Thus currently we need to check
 ct == NULL || nf_ct_is_untracked(ct)

in a lot of places in order to avoid altering untracked objects.

The other consequence of the percpu untracked object is that all
-j NOTRACK (and, later, kfree_skb of such skbs) result in an atomic op
(inc/dec the untracked conntracks refcount).

This adds a new kernel-private ctinfo state, IP_CT_UNTRACKED, to
make the distinction instead.

The (few) places that care about packet invalid (ct is NULL) vs.
packet untracked now need to test ct == NULL vs. ctinfo == IP_CT_UNTRACKED,
but all other places can omit the nf_ct_is_untracked() check.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 170a1fb9c0 netfilter: Force fake conntrack entry to be at least 8 bytes aligned
Since the nfct and nfctinfo have been combined, the nf_conn structure
must be at least 8 bytes aligned, as the 3 LSB bits are used for the
nfctinfo. But there's a fake nf_conn structure to denote untracked
connections, which is created by a PER_CPU construct. This does not
guarantee that it will be 8 bytes aligned and can break the logic in
determining the correct nfctinfo.

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

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree, they are:

1) Stash ctinfo 3-bit field into pointer to nf_conntrack object from
   sk_buff so we only access one single cacheline in the conntrack
   hotpath. Patchset from Florian Westphal.

2) Don't leak pointer to internal structures when exporting x_tables
   ruleset back to userspace, from Willem DeBruijn. This includes new
   helper functions to copy data to userspace such as xt_data_to_user()
   as well as conversions of our ip_tables, ip6_tables and arp_tables
   clients to use it. Not surprinsingly, ebtables requires an ad-hoc
   update. There is also a new field in x_tables extensions to indicate
   the amount of bytes that we copy to userspace.

3) Add nf_log_all_netns sysctl: This new knob allows you to enable
   logging via nf_log infrastructure for all existing netnamespaces.
   Given the effort to provide pernet syslog has been discontinued,
   let's provide a way to restore logging using netfilter kernel logging
   facilities in trusted environments. Patch from Michal Kubecek.

4) Validate SCTP checksum from conntrack helper, from Davide Caratti.

5) Merge UDPlite conntrack and NAT helpers into UDP, this was mostly
   a copy&paste from the original helper, from Florian Westphal.

6) Reset netfilter state when duplicating packets, also from Florian.

7) Remove unnecessary check for broadcast in IPv6 in pkttype match and
   nft_meta, from Liping Zhang.

8) Add missing code to deal with loopback packets from nft_meta when
   used by the netdev family, also from Liping.

9) Several cleanups on nf_tables, one to remove unnecessary check from
   the netlink control plane path to add table, set and stateful objects
   and code consolidation when unregister chain hooks, from Gao Feng.

10) Fix harmless reference counter underflow in IPVS that, however,
    results in problems with the introduction of the new refcount_t
    type, from David Windsor.

11) Enable LIBCRC32C from nf_ct_sctp instead of nf_nat_sctp,
    from Davide Caratti.

12) Missing documentation on nf_tables uapi header, from Liping Zhang.

13) Use rb_entry() helper in xt_connlimit, from Geliang Tang.

Florian Westphal a9e419dc7b netfilter: merge ctinfo into nfct pointer storage area
After this change conntrack operations (lookup, creation, matching from
ruleset) only access one instead of two sk_buff cache lines.

This works for normal conntracks because those are allocated from a slab
that guarantees hw cacheline or 8byte alignment (whatever is larger)
so the 3 bits needed for ctinfo won't overlap with nf_conn addresses.

Template allocation now does manual address alignment (see previous change)
on arches that don't have sufficent kmalloc min alignment.

Some spots intentionally use skb->_nfct instead of skb_nfct() helpers,
this is to avoid undoing the skb_nfct() use when we remove untracked
conntrack object in the future.

The next change will merge skb->nfct pointer and skb->nfctinfo
status bits into single skb->_nfct (unsigned long) area.

For this to work nf_conn addresses must always be aligned at least on
an 8 byte boundary since we will need the lower 3bits to store nfctinfo.

Conntrack templates are allocated via kmalloc.
kbuild test robot reported
BUILD_BUG_ON failed: NFCT_INFOMASK >= ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN
on v1 of this patchset, so not all platforms meet this requirement.

Do manual alignment if needed,  the alignment offset is stored in the
nf_conn entry protocol area. This works because templates are not
handed off to L4 protocol trackers.

Florian Westphal e5072053b0 netfilter: conntrack: refine gc worker heuristics, redux
This further refines the changes made to conntrack gc_worker in
commit e0df8cae6c ("netfilter: conntrack: refine gc worker heuristics").

The main idea of that change was to reduce the scan interval when evictions
take place.

However, on the reporters' setup, there are 1-2 million conntrack entries
in total and roughly 8k new (and closing) connections per second.

In this case we'll always evict at least one entry per gc cycle and scan
interval is always at 1 jiffy because of this test:

 } else if (expired_count) {
     gc_work->next_gc_run /= 2U;
     next_run = msecs_to_jiffies(1);

being true almost all the time.

Given we scan ~10k entries per run its clearly wrong to reduce interval
based on nonzero eviction count, it will only waste cpu cycles since a vast
majorities of conntracks are not timed out.

Thus only look at the ratio (scanned entries vs. evicted entries) to make
a decision on whether to reduce or not.

Because evictor is supposed to only kick in when system turns idle after
a busy period, pick a high ratio -- this makes it 50%.  We thus keep
the idea of increasing scan rate when its likely that table contains many
expired entries.

In order to not let timed-out entries hang around for too long
(important when using event logging, in which case we want to timely
destroy events), we now scan the full table within at most
GC_MAX_SCAN_JIFFIES (16 seconds) even in worst-case scenario where all
timed-out entries sit in same slot.

I tested this with a vm under synflood (with
sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_recv=3).

While flood is ongoing, interval now stays at its max rate
(GC_MAX_SCAN_JIFFIES / GC_MAX_BUCKETS_DIV -> 125ms).

This could only happen when we 'goto out' before looking up l4proto,
and then enter the retry, implying that l3proto->get_l4proto()
returned NF_REPEAT. This does not currently get returned in any
code path and probably won't ever happen, but is not good to
rely on.

Moving the repeat handling up a little should have the same
behavior as today but avoids the warning by making that case
impossible to enter.

Florian Westphal e0df8cae6c netfilter: conntrack: refine gc worker heuristics
Nicolas Dichtel says:
  After commit b87a2f9199 ("netfilter: conntrack: add gc worker to
  remove timed-out entries"), netlink conntrack deletion events may be
  sent with a huge delay.

Nicolas further points at this line:

  goal = min(nf_conntrack_htable_size / GC_MAX_BUCKETS_DIV, GC_MAX_BUCKETS);

and indeed, this isn't optimal at all.  Rationale here was to ensure that
we don't block other work items for too long, even if
nf_conntrack_htable_size is huge.  But in order to have some guarantee
about maximum time period where a scan of the full conntrack table
completes we should always use a fixed slice size, so that once every
N scans the full table has been examined at least once.

We also need to balance this vs. the case where the system is either idle
(i.e., conntrack table (almost) empty) or very busy (i.e. eviction happens
from packet path).

So, after some discussion with Nicolas:

1. want hard guarantee that we scan entire table at least once every X s
-> need to scan fraction of table (get rid of upper bound)

2. don't want to eat cycles on idle or very busy system
-> increase interval if we did not evict any entries

3. don't want to block other worker items for too long
-> make fraction really small, and prefer small scan interval instead

4. Want reasonable short time where we detect timed-out entry when
system went idle after a burst of traffic, while not doing scans
all the time.
-> Store next gc scan in worker, increasing delays when no eviction
happened and shrinking delay when we see timed out entries.

The old gc interval is turned into a max number, scans can now happen
every jiffy if stale entries are present.

Longest possible time period until an entry is evicted is now 2 minutes
in worst case (entry expires right after it was deemed 'not expired').

Pablo Neira Ayuso 08733a0cb7 netfilter: handle NF_REPEAT from nf_conntrack_in()
NF_REPEAT is only needed from nf_conntrack_in() under a very specific
case required by the TCP protocol tracker, we can handle this case
without returning to the core hook path. Handling of NF_REPEAT from the
nf_reinject() is left untouched.

Nicolas Dichtel 7bb6615d39 netfilter: conntrack: restart gc immediately if GC_MAX_EVICTS is reached
When the maximum evictions number is reached, do not wait 5 seconds before
the next run.
