Pablo Neira Ayuso 1e47ee8367 netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix BUG_ON while removing nf_conntrack with netns
canqun zhang reported that we're hitting BUG_ON in the
nf_conntrack_destroy path when calling kfree_skb while
rmmod'ing the nf_conntrack module.

Currently, the nf_ct_destroy hook is being set to NULL in the
destroy path of conntrack.init_net. However, this is a problem
since init_net may be destroyed before any other existing netns
(we cannot assume any specific ordering while releasing existing
netns according to what I read in recent emails).

Thanks to Gao feng for initial patch to address this issue.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 252b3e8c1b netfilter: xt_CT: fix crash while destroy ct templates
In (d871bef netfilter: ctnetlink: dump entries from the dying and
unconfirmed lists), we assume that all conntrack objects are
inserted in any of the existing lists. However, template conntrack
objects were not. This results in hitting BUG_ON in the
destroy_conntrack path while removing a rule that uses the CT target.

This patch fixes the situation by adding the template lists, which
is where template conntrack objects reside now.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 04dac0111d netfilter: nf_conntrack: improve nf_conn object traceability
This patch modifies the conntrack subsystem so that all existing
allocated conntrack objects can be found in any of the following
places:

* the hash table, this is the typical place for alive conntrack objects.
* the unconfirmed list, this is the place for newly created conntrack objects
  that are still traversing the stack.
* the dying list, this is where you can find conntrack objects that are dying
  or that should die anytime soon (eg. once the destroy event is delivered to
  the conntrackd daemon).

Thus, we make sure that we follow the track for all existing conntrack
objects. This patch, together with some extension of the ctnetlink interface
to dump the content of the dying and unconfirmed lists, will help in case
to debug suspected nf_conn object leaks.

Patrick McHardy b0cdb1d9a9 netfilter: nf_nat: fix oops when unloading protocol modules
When unloading a protocol module nf_ct_iterate_cleanup() is used to
remove all conntracks using the protocol from the bysource hash and
clean their NAT sections. Since the conntrack isn't actually killed,
the NAT callback is invoked twice, once for each direction, which
causes an oops when trying to delete it from the bysource hash for
the second time.

The same oops can also happen when removing both an L3 and L4 protocol
since the cleanup function doesn't check whether the conntrack has
already been cleaned up.

To fix this,

- check whether the conntrack has already been cleaned up in
  nf_nat_proto_clean

- change nf_ct_iterate_cleanup() to only invoke the callback function
  once for each conntrack (IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL).

The second change doesn't affect other callers since when conntracks are
actually killed, both directions are removed from the hash immediately
and the callback is already only invoked once. If it is not killed, the
second callback invocation will always return the same decision not to
kill it.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 5b423f6a40 netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix racy timer handling with reliable events
Existing code assumes that del_timer returns true for alive conntrack
entries. However, this is not true if reliable events are enabled.
In that case, del_timer may return true for entries that were
just inserted in the dying list. Note that packets / ctnetlink may
hold references to conntrack entries that were just inserted to such
list.

This patch fixes the issue by adding an independent timer for
event delivery. This increases the size of the ecache extension.
Still we can revisit this later and use variable size extensions
to allocate this area on demand.

Eric Leblond a900689264 netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allow to disable automatic helper assignment
This patch allows you to disable automatic conntrack helper
lookup based on TCP/UDP ports, eg.

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

[ Note: flows that already got a helper will keep using it even
  if automatic helper assignment has been disabled ]

Once this behaviour has been disabled, you have to explicitly
use the iptables CT target to attach helper to flows.

There are good reasons to stop supporting automatic helper
assignment, for further information, please read:

http://www.netfilter.org/news.html#2012-04-03

This patch also adds one message to inform that automatic helper
assignment is deprecated and it will be removed soon (this is
spotted only once, with the first flow that gets a helper attached
to make it as less annoying as possible).

Pablo Neira Ayuso 60b5f8f745 netfilter: nf_conntrack: permanently attach timeout policy to conntrack
We need to permanently attach the timeout policy to the conntrack,
otherwise we may apply the custom timeout policy inconsistently.

Without this patch, the following example:

 nfct timeout add test inet icmp timeout 100
 iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p icmp -s 1.1.1.1 -j CT --timeout test

Will only apply the custom timeout policy to outgoing packets from
1.1.1.1, but not to reply packets from 2.2.2.2 going to 1.1.1.1.

To fix this issue, this patch modifies the current logic to attach the
timeout policy when the first packet is seen (which is when the
conntrack entry is created). Then, we keep using the attached timeout
policy until the conntrack entry is destroyed.

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.

Jozsef Kadlecsik 7d367e0668 netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries (v2)
Marcell Zambo and Janos Farago noticed and reported that when
new conntrack entries are added via netlink and the conntrack table
gets full, soft lockup happens. This is because the nf_conntrack_lock
is held while nf_conntrack_alloc is called, which is in turn wants
to lock nf_conntrack_lock while evicting entries from the full table.

The patch fixes the soft lockup with limiting the holding of the
nf_conntrack_lock to the minimum, where it's absolutely required.
It required to extend (and thus change) nf_conntrack_hash_insert
so that it makes sure conntrack and ctnetlink do not add the same entry
twice to the conntrack table.

Pablo Neira Ayuso c317428644 netfilter: nf_conntrack: set conntrack templates again if we return NF_REPEAT
The TCP tracking code has a special case that allows to return
NF_REPEAT if we receive a new SYN packet while in TIME_WAIT state.

In this situation, the TCP tracking code destroys the existing
conntrack to start a new clean session.

[DESTROY] tcp      6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=38925 dport=8000 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=8000 dport=38925 [ASSURED]
    [NEW] tcp      6 120 SYN_SENT src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=38925 dport=8000 [UNREPLIED] src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=8000 dport=38925

However, this is a problem for the iptables' CT target event filtering
which will not work in this case since the conntrack template will not
be there for the new session. To fix this, we reassign the conntrack
template to the packet if we return NF_REPEAT.

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.

As this ct won't be seen by the others, we don't need to set the
IPS_CONFIRMED_BIT in atomic way.

Changli Gao f682cefa5a netfilter: fix the race when initializing nf_ct_expect_hash_rnd
Since nf_ct_expect_dst_hash() may be called without nf_conntrack_lock
locked, nf_ct_expect_hash_rnd should be initialized in the atomic way.

In this patch, we use nf_conntrack_hash_rnd instead of
nf_ct_expect_hash_rnd.

Changli Gao e5fc9e7a66 netfilter: nf_conntrack: don't always initialize ct->proto
ct->proto is big(60 bytes) due to structure ip_ct_tcp, and we don't need
to initialize the whole for all the other protocols. This patch moves
proto to the end of structure nf_conn, and pushes the initialization down
to the individual protocols.

commit ea781f197d (use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and get rid of call_rcu())
did a mistake in __vmalloc() call in nf_ct_alloc_hashtable().

I forgot to add __GFP_HIGHMEM, so pages were taken from LOWMEM only.
