Julia Lawall 2a04aabf5c netfilter: constify nf_conntrack_l3/4proto parameters
When a nf_conntrack_l3/4proto parameter is not on the left hand side
of an assignment, its address is not taken, and it is not passed to a
function that may modify its fields, then it can be declared as const.

This change is useful from a documentation point of view, and can
possibly facilitate making some nf_conntrack_l3/4proto structures const
subsequently.

Done with the help of Coccinelle.

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

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree. A large bunch of code cleanups, simplify the conntrack extension
codebase, get rid of the fake conntrack object, speed up netns by
selective synchronize_net() calls. More specifically, they are:

1) Check for ct->status bit instead of using nfct_nat() from IPVS and
   Netfilter codebase, patch from Florian Westphal.

2) Use kcalloc() wherever possible in the IPVS code, from Varsha Rao.

3) Simplify FTP IPVS helper module registration path, from Arushi Singhal.

4) Introduce nft_is_base_chain() helper function.

5) Enforce expectation limit from userspace conntrack helper,
   from Gao Feng.

6) Add nf_ct_remove_expect() helper function, from Gao Feng.

7) NAT mangle helper function return boolean, from Gao Feng.

8) ctnetlink_alloc_expect() should only work for conntrack with
   helpers, from Gao Feng.

9) Add nfnl_msg_type() helper function to nfnetlink to build the
   netlink message type.

10) Get rid of unnecessary cast on void, from simran singhal.

11) Use seq_puts()/seq_putc() instead of seq_printf() where possible,
    also from simran singhal.

12) Use list_prev_entry() from nf_tables, from simran signhal.

13) Remove unnecessary & on pointer function in the Netfilter and IPVS
    code.

14) Remove obsolete comment on set of rules per CPU in ip6_tables,
    no longer true. From Arushi Singhal.

15) Remove duplicated nf_conntrack_l4proto_udplite4, from Gao Feng.

16) Remove unnecessary nested rcu_read_lock() in
    __nf_nat_decode_session(). Code running from hooks are already
    guaranteed to run under RCU read side.

17) Remove deadcode in nf_tables_getobj(), from Aaron Conole.

18) Remove double assignment in nf_ct_l4proto_pernet_unregister_one(),
    also from Aaron.

19) Get rid of unsed __ip_set_get_netlink(), from Aaron Conole.

20) Don't propagate NF_DROP error to userspace via ctnetlink in
    __nf_nat_alloc_null_binding() function, from Gao Feng.

21) Revisit nf_ct_deliver_cached_events() to remove unnecessary checks,
    from Gao Feng.

22) Kill the fake untracked conntrack objects, use ctinfo instead to
    annotate a conntrack object is untracked, from Florian Westphal.

23) Remove nf_ct_is_untracked(), now obsolete since we have no
    conntrack template anymore, from Florian.

24) Add event mask support to nft_ct, also from Florian.

25) Move nf_conn_help structure to
    include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper.h.

26) Add a fixed 32 bytes scratchpad area for conntrack helpers.
    Thus, we don't deal with variable conntrack extensions anymore.
    Make sure userspace conntrack helper doesn't go over that size.
    Remove variable size ct extension infrastructure now this code
    got no more clients. From Florian Westphal.

27) Restore offset and length of nf_ct_ext structure to 8 bytes now
    that wraparound is not possible any longer, also from Florian.

28) Allow to get rid of unassured flows under stress in conntrack,
    this applies to DCCP, SCTP and TCP protocols, from Florian.

29) Shrink size of nf_conntrack_ecache structure, from Florian.

30) Use TCP_MAX_WSCALE instead of hardcoded 14 in TCP tracker,
    from Gao Feng.

31) Register SYNPROXY hooks on demand, from Florian Westphal.

32) Use pernet hook whenever possible, instead of global hook
    registration, from Florian Westphal.

33) Pass hook structure to ebt_register_table() to consolidate some
    infrastructure code, from Florian Westphal.

34) Use consume_skb() and return NF_STOLEN, instead of NF_DROP in the
    SYNPROXY code, to make sure device stats are not fooled, patch
    from Gao Feng.

35) Remove NF_CT_EXT_F_PREALLOC this kills quite some code that we
    don't need anymore if we just select a fixed size instead of
    expensive runtime time calculation of this. From Florian.

36) Constify nf_ct_extend_register() and nf_ct_extend_unregister(),
    from Florian.

37) Simplify nf_ct_ext_add(), this kills nf_ct_ext_create(), from
    Florian.

38) Attach NAT extension on-demand from masquerade and pptp helper
    path, from Florian.

39) Get rid of useless ip_vs_set_state_timeout(), from Aaron Conole.

40) Speed up netns by selective calls of synchronize_net(), from
    Florian Westphal.

41) Silence stack size warning gcc in 32-bit arch in snmp helper,
    from Florian.

42) Inconditionally call nf_ct_ext_destroy(), even if we have no
    extensions, to deal with the NF_NAT_MANIP_SRC case. Patch from
    Liping Zhang.

Liping Zhang 3b7dabf029 netfilter: invoke synchronize_rcu after set the _hook_ to NULL
Otherwise, another CPU may access the invalid pointer. For example:
    CPU0                CPU1
     -              rcu_read_lock();
     -              pfunc = _hook_;
  _hook_ = NULL;          -
  mod unload              -
     -                 pfunc(); // invalid, panic
     -             rcu_read_unlock();

So we must call synchronize_rcu() to wait the rcu reader to finish.

Also note, in nf_nat_snmp_basic_fini, synchronize_rcu() will be invoked
by later nf_conntrack_helper_unregister, but I'm inclined to add a
explicit synchronize_rcu after set the nf_nat_snmp_hook to NULL. Depend
on such obscure assumptions is not a good idea.

Last, in nfnetlink_cttimeout, we use kfree_rcu to free the time object,
so in cttimeout_exit, invoking rcu_barrier() is not necessary at all,
remove it too.

Liping Zhang b75911b66a netfilter: cttimeout: fix use after free error when delete netns
In general, when we want to delete a netns, cttimeout_net_exit will
be called before ipt_unregister_table, i.e. before ctnl_timeout_put.

But after call kfree_rcu in cttimeout_net_exit, we will still decrease
the timeout object's refcnt in ctnl_timeout_put, this is incorrect,
and will cause a use after free error.

It is easy to reproduce this problem:
  # while : ; do
  ip netns add xxx
  ip netns exec xxx nfct add timeout testx inet icmp timeout 200
  ip netns exec xxx iptables -t raw -p icmp -I OUTPUT -j CT --timeout testx
  ip netns del xxx
  done

  =======================================================================
  BUG kmalloc-96 (Tainted: G    B       E  ): Poison overwritten

  INFO: 0xffff88002b5161e8-0xffff88002b5161e8. First byte 0x6a instead of

So only when the refcnt decreased to 0, we call kfree_rcu to free the
timeout object. And like nfnetlink_acct do, use atomic_cmpxchg to
avoid race between ctnl_timeout_try_del and ctnl_timeout_put.

Imagine such situation, nf_conntrack_htable_size now is 4096, we are doing
ctnl_untimeout, and iterate on 3000# bucket.

Meanwhile, another user try to reduce hash size to 2048, then all nf_conn
are removed to the new hashtable. When this hash resize operation finished,
we still try to itreate ct begin from 3000# bucket, find nothing to do and
just return.

We may miss unlinking some timeout objects. And later we will end up with
invalid references to timeout object that are already gone.

So when we find that hash resize happened, try to unlink timeout objects
from the 0# bucket again.

When we need to lock all buckets in the connection hashtable we'd attempt to
lock 1024 spinlocks, which is way more preemption levels than supported by
the kernel. Furthermore, this behavior was hidden by checking if lockdep is
enabled, and if it was - use only 8 buckets(!).

Fix this by using a global lock and synchronize all buckets on it when we
need to lock them all. This is pretty heavyweight, but is only done when we
need to resize the hashtable, and that doesn't happen often enough (or at all).

The object and module refcounts are updated for each conntrack template,
however, if we delete the iptables rules and we flush the timeout
database, we may end up with invalid references to timeout object that
are just gone.

Resolve this problem by setting the timeout reference to NULL when the
custom timeout entry is removed from our base. This patch requires some
RCU trickery to ensure safe pointer handling.

This handling is similar to what we already do with conntrack helpers,
the idea is to avoid bumping the timeout object reference counter from
the packet path to avoid the cost of atomic ops.

David S. Miller 48f03bdad8 nfnetlink_cttimeout: Stop using NLA_PUT*().
These macros contain a hidden goto, and are thus extremely error
prone and make code hard to audit.

Pablo Neira Ayuso c1ebd7dff7 netfilter: cttimeout: fix dependency with l4protocol conntrack module
This patch introduces nf_conntrack_l4proto_find_get() and
nf_conntrack_l4proto_put() to fix module dependencies between
timeout objects and l4-protocol conntrack modules.

Thus, we make sure that the module cannot be removed if it is
used by any of the cttimeout objects.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 24de58f465 netfilter: xt_CT: allow to attach timeout policy + glue code
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.

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.
