David S. Miller f4530fa574 ipv4: Avoid overhead when no custom FIB rules are installed.
If the user hasn't actually installed any custom rules, or fiddled
with the default ones, don't go through the whole FIB rules layer.

It's just pure overhead.

Instead do what we do with CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES disabled, check
the individual tables by hand, one by one.

Also, move fib_num_tclassid_users into the ipv4 network namespace.

David S. Miller 5110effee8 net: Do delayed neigh confirmation.
When a dst_confirm() happens, mark the confirmation as pending in the
dst.  Then on the next packet out, when we have the neigh in-hand, do
the update.

This removes the dependency in dst_confirm() of dst's having an
attached neigh.

While we're here, remove the explicit 'dst' NULL check, all except 2
or 3 call sites ensure it's not NULL.  So just fix those cases up.

This patch generalizes nf_ct_l4proto_net by splitting it into chunks and

Pablo Neira Ayuso a31f2d17b3 netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_create
This patch adds the following structure:

struct netlink_kernel_cfg {
        unsigned int    groups;
        void            (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb);
        struct mutex    *cb_mutex;
};

That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
for netlink kernel sockets.

I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
left in the original interface.

That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
easy extensibility of this interface in the future.

This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

David S. Miller 7a9bc9b81a ipv4: Elide fib_validate_source() completely when possible.
If rpfilter is off (or the SKB has an IPSEC path) and there are not
tclassid users, we don't have to do anything at all when
fib_validate_source() is invoked besides setting the itag to zero.

We monitor tclassid uses with a counter (modified only under RTNL and
marked __read_mostly) and we protect the fib_validate_source() real
work with a test against this counter and whether rpfilter is to be
done.

Having a way to know whether we need no tclassid processing or not
also opens the door for future optimized rpfilter algorithms that do
not perform full FIB lookups.

David S. Miller 35ebf65e85 ipv4: Create and use fib_compute_spec_dst() helper.
The specific destination is the host we direct unicast replies to.
Usually this is the original packet source address, but if we are
responding to a multicast or broadcast packet we have to use something
different.

Specifically we must use the source address we would use if we were to
send a packet to the unicast source of the original packet.

The routing cache precomputes this value, but we want to remove that
precomputation because it creates a hard dependency on the expensive
rpfilter source address validation which we'd like to make cheaper.

There are only three places where this matters:

1) ICMP replies.

2) pktinfo CMSG

3) IP options

Now there will be no real users of rt->rt_spec_dst and we can simply
remove it altogether.

Eric Dumazet c074da2810 ipv4: tcp: dont cache unconfirmed intput dst
DDOS synflood attacks hit badly IP route cache.

On typical machines, this cache is allowed to hold up to 8 Millions dst
entries, 256 bytes for each, for a total of 2GB of memory.

rt_garbage_collect() triggers and tries to cleanup things.

Eventually route cache is disabled but machine is under fire and might
OOM and crash.

This patch exploits the new TCP early demux, to set a nocache
boolean in case incoming TCP frame is for a not yet ESTABLISHED or
TIMEWAIT socket.

This 'nocache' boolean is then used in case dst entry is not found in
route cache, to create an unhashed dst entry (DST_NOCACHE)

SYN-cookie-ACK sent use a similar mechanism (ipv4: tcp: dont cache
output dst for syncookies), so after this patch, a machine is able to
absorb a DDOS synflood attack without polluting its IP route cache.

Alexander Duyck 6648bd7e0e ipv4: Add sysctl knob to control early socket demux
This change is meant to add a control for disabling early socket demux.
The main motivation behind this patch is to provide an option to disable
the feature as it adds an additional cost to routing that reduces overall
throughput by up to 5%.  For example one of my systems went from 12.1Mpps
to 11.6 after the early socket demux was added.  It looks like the reason
for the regression is that we are now having to perform two lookups, first
the one for an established socket, and then the one for the routing table.

By adding this patch and toggling the value for ip_early_demux to 0 I am
able to get back to the 12.1Mpps I was previously seeing.

David S. Miller 41063e9dd1 ipv4: Early TCP socket demux.
Input packet processing for local sockets involves two major demuxes.
One for the route and one for the socket.

But we can optimize this down to one demux for certain kinds of local
sockets.

Currently we only do this for established TCP sockets, but it could
at least in theory be expanded to other kinds of connections.

If a TCP socket is established then it's identity is fully specified.

This means that whatever input route was used during the three-way
handshake must work equally well for the rest of the connection since
the keys will not change.

Once we move to established state, we cache the receive packet's input
route to use later.

Like the existing cached route in sk->sk_dst_cache used for output
packets, we have to check for route invalidations using dst->obsolete
and dst->ops->check().

Early demux occurs outside of a socket locked section, so when a route
invalidation occurs we defer the fixup of sk->sk_rx_dst until we are
actually inside of established state packet processing and thus have
the socket locked.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 12f7a50533 netfilter: add user-space connection tracking helper infrastructure
There are good reasons to supports helpers in user-space instead:

* Rapid connection tracking helper development, as developing code
  in user-space is usually faster.

* Reliability: A buggy helper does not crash the kernel. Moreover,
  we can monitor the helper process and restart it in case of problems.

* Security: Avoid complex string matching and mangling in kernel-space
  running in privileged mode. Going further, we can even think about
  running user-space helpers as a non-root process.

* Extensibility: It allows the development of very specific helpers (most
  likely non-standard proprietary protocols) that are very likely not to be
  accepted for mainline inclusion in the form of kernel-space connection
  tracking helpers.

This patch adds the infrastructure to allow the implementation of
user-space conntrack helpers by means of the new nfnetlink subsystem
`nfnetlink_cthelper' and the existing queueing infrastructure
(nfnetlink_queue).

I had to add the new hook NF_IP6_PRI_CONNTRACK_HELPER to register
ipv[4|6]_helper which results from splitting ipv[4|6]_confirm into
two pieces. This change is required not to break NAT sequence
adjustment and conntrack confirmation for traffic that is enqueued
to our user-space conntrack helpers.

Basic operation, in a few steps:

1) Register user-space helper by means of `nfct':

 nfct helper add ftp inet tcp

 [ It must be a valid existing helper supported by conntrack-tools ]

2) Add rules to enable the FTP user-space helper which is
   used to track traffic going to TCP port 21.

For locally generated packets:

 iptables -I OUTPUT -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp

For non-locally generated packets:

 iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp

3) Run the test conntrackd in helper mode (see example files under
   doc/helper/conntrackd.conf

 conntrackd

4) Generate FTP traffic going, if everything is OK, then conntrackd
   should create expectations (you can check that with `conntrack':

 conntrack -E expect

    [NEW] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp
[DESTROY] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp

This confirms that our test helper is receiving packets including the
conntrack information, and adding expectations in kernel-space.

The user-space helper can also store its private tracking information
in the conntrack structure in the kernel via the CTA_HELP_INFO. The
kernel will consider this a binary blob whose layout is unknown. This
information will be included in the information that is transfered
to user-space via glue code that integrates nfnetlink_queue and
ctnetlink.

Instead of using union nf_conntrack_help that contain all the
helper private data information, we allocate variable length
area to store the private helper data.

This patch includes the modification of all existing helpers.
It also includes a couple of include header to avoid compilation
warnings.

David S. Miller 3639339553 ipv4: Handle PMTU in all ICMP error handlers.
With ip_rt_frag_needed() removed, we have to explicitly update PMTU
information in every ICMP error handler.

Create two helper functions to facilitate this.

1) ipv4_sk_update_pmtu()

   This updates the PMTU when we have a socket context to
   work with.

2) ipv4_update_pmtu()

   Raw version, used when no socket context is available.  For this
   interface, we essentially just pass in explicit arguments for
   the flow identity information we would have extracted from the
   socket.

   And you'll notice that ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() is simply implemented
   in terms of ipv4_update_pmtu()

Note that __ip_route_output_key() is used, rather than something like
ip_route_output_flow() or ip_route_output_key().  This is because we
absolutely do not want to end up with a route that does IPSEC
encapsulation and the like.  Instead, we only want the route that
would get us to the node described by the outermost IP header.

David S. Miller 43b03f1f6d Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Conflicts:
	MAINTAINERS
	drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c

The iwlwifi conflict was resolved by keeping the code added
in 'net' that turns off the buggy chip feature.

The MAINTAINERS conflict was merely overlapping changes, one
change updated all the wireless web site URLs and the other
changed some GIT trees to be Johannes's instead of John's.

Michel Machado 95603e2293 net-next: add dev_loopback_xmit() to avoid duplicate code
Add dev_loopback_xmit() in order to deduplicate functions
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() (in net/ipv4/ip_output.c) and
ip6_dev_loopback_xmit() (in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c).

I was about to reinvent the wheel when I noticed that
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() and ip6_dev_loopback_xmit() do exactly what I
need and are not IP-only functions, but they were not available to reuse
elsewhere.

ip6_dev_loopback_xmit() does not have line "skb_dst_force(skb);", but I
understand that this is harmless, and should be in dev_loopback_xmit().

Thomas Graf d0daebc3d6 ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8
Routing of 127/8 is tradtionally forbidden, we consider
packets from that address block martian when routing and do
not process corresponding ARP requests.

This is a sane default but renders a huge address space
practically unuseable.

The RFC states that no address within the 127/8 block should
ever appear on any network anywhere but it does not forbid
the use of such addresses outside of the loopback device in
particular. For example to address a pool of virtual guests
behind a load balancer.

This patch adds a new interface option 'route_localnet'
enabling routing of the 127/8 address block and processing
of ARP requests on a specific interface.

Note that for the feature to work, the default local route
covering 127/8 dev lo needs to be removed.

Example:
  $ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1
  $ ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local
  $ ip addr add 127.1.0.1/16 dev eth0
  $ ip route flush cache

V2: Fix invalid check to auto flush cache (thanks davem)
