Subject: [NETFILTER -stable 01/02]: bridge: fix double POST_ROUTING invocation
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:08:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <479F6B99.60005@trash.net> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 285 bytes --]
These two patches for stable-2.6.23 fix two problems with the
bridge netfilter code, a double POST_ROUTING hook invocation
with routing between two bridge devices, which breaks NAT,
and some net_device refcount leaks when queueing bridged
packets to userspace.
Please apply, thanks.

[NETFILTER]: bridge: fix double POST_ROUTING invocation
Upstream commit 2948d2ebbb98747b912ac6d0c864b4d02be8a6f5
The bridge code incorrectly causes two POST_ROUTING hook invocations
for DNATed packets that end up on the same bridge device. This
happens because packets with a changed destination address are passed
to dst_output() to make them go through the neighbour output function
again to build a new destination MAC address, before they will continue
through the IP hooks simulated by bridge netfilter.
The resulting hook order is:
PREROUTING (bridge netfilter)
POSTROUTING (dst_output -> ip_output)
FORWARD (bridge netfilter)
POSTROUTING (bridge netfilter)
The deferred hooks used to abort the first POST_ROUTING invocation,
but since the only thing bridge netfilter actually really wants is
a new MAC address, we can avoid going through the IP stack completely
by simply calling the neighbour output function directly.
