[PATCH net 00/10] Netfilter fixes for net

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

Hi,
 
The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net:
 
1) Use DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE() instead of WARN_ON() from the tproxy
   datapath, a recent bug found a way to reach WARN_ON from datapath
   due to insufficient validation of xt_TPROTO checkentry.
   From Fernando F. Mancera.
 
2) Similar to previous patch to replace WARN_ON_ONCE by
   DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE() for connlimit. Not known issue, but
   since this patch has been around for a while, let's merge it.
   Also from Fernando.

3) Move nf_tables harware offload commit path after chain blob
   and audit to reduce chances of leaving the hardware in
   inconsistent state.

4) Add missing vzeroupper to nf_tables pipapo AVX2 to address
   performace degradation to later user of SSE code,
   from Eric Biggers.

5) Remove pr_debug() in x_tables extensions, a recent bogus found a
   way to print a unsanitized string in xt_IDLETIMER, many of these
   pr_debug() calls are there for historical reasons.

6) Use pr_info_ratelimited() in x_tables .checkentry.

7) Fix an imbalance in module refcount due to incorrect override
   expression logic with sets. Remove unnecessary clone in control
   plane, use the existing expressions provided by set or dynset
   expression. Release override expressions only.

9) Tigthen nf_tables device name removal, it is possible to remove
   prefix strings with exact device name. From Fernando F. Mancera.

9) Set on the set dead bit earlier, otherwise it is possible to
   call .commit on deleted sets. This also addresses the
   re-introduction of a bug.

10) Remove leftover definition of the local set_update_list.
    A recent patch made it per-netns but did not remove this which
    is now unused.

[PATCH net 01/10] netfilter: tproxy: use DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE for protocol fallbacks

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>

Replace WARN_ON calls with DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE in the default switch
blocks of nf_tproxy_get_sock_v4 and v6. Unsupported transport protocols
are already safely handled by returning a NULL socket pointer. This
prevents unnecessary system panics when panic_on_warn=1 is enabled in
production systems.

[PATCH net 02/10] netfilter: conncount: use DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE on reaching count limit

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>

Replace WARN_ON_ONCE with DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE in __nf_conncount_add.
The function handles count limit breaches safely by returning
-EOVERFLOW, so a production backtrace is not needed. This prevents
unnecessary system panics when panic_on_warn=1 is enabled in production
systems.

[PATCH net 03/10] netfilter: nf_tables: move hardware offload step after building the chain blob

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

Allocate the chain blob before the ruleset offload to reduce chances of
entering an inconsistent state where the offloaded ruleset in the nic
and the software ruleset differ.

[PATCH net 04/10] netfilter: nft_set_pipapo_avx2: add missing vzeroupper

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>

Since pipapo_get_avx2() uses YMM registers, execute vzeroupper before
returning from it.  This is needed to avoid degrading the performance of
any later SSE code that may happen to be executed.

[PATCH net 05/10] netfilter: x_tables: remove pr_debug

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

Remove pr_debug() for these xtables extensions, these have no use these
days. Still, turn pr_debug() into pr_info_ratelimited() in the .check
path since this helps provide a hint via dmesg in legacy iptables.

[PATCH net 07/10] netfilter: nf_tables: skip double clone set expressions on element insert

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

Both the dynset and newsetelem path clone the existing set expressions
when setting set element expressions if no override expressions are
provided. This results in a double clone, once to clone the template set
expressions then another clone on the new element. Add a flag to
annotate if userspace provides a override expression (ie. expression of
the same type of the set but different configuration), otherwise borrow
the existing expression from the set. Add conditionals to release
expression iif they represent an override. Use this new override_exprs
flag to dump the dynset expression override to userspace.

This simplifies the existing logic and it also fixes a bug with the
connlimit expression which results in a module refcount imbalance
WARNING splat when resorting on the default set expressions.

Fixes: 65038428b2c6 ("netfilter: nf_tables: allow to specify stateful expression in set definition")
Fixes: fca05d4d61e6 ("netfilter: nft_dynset: honor stateful expressions in set definition")

[PATCH net 08/10] netfilter: nf_tables: fix device name and prefix match in hook lookup

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>

Currently, a netdev chain or flowtable hooked to a device prefix can be
unintentionally deleted or updated by a control-plane request targeting
an exact device name or even a shorter one due to the usage of min() to
calculate the length to match.

Fix this by making sure an exact device match never matches a prefix and
that both the target and the candidate have the same length.

Reported-by: Wei Fang <void0red@gmail.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netfilter-devel/CANE+tVrDeNCHQVmsqkV2ozeBqyE3GtRDMhZgsg1bhw10yGNTRQ@mail.gmail.com/

flag is set on later in the commit path.

This also reintroduces the bug fixed in commit 7315dc1e122c8
("netfilter: nf_tables: skip set commit for deleted/destroyed sets").

netfilter: x_tables: remove pr_debug

This drops the pr_debug() calls from a set of xtables matches and
targets, and converts the ones in the .check paths into
pr_info_ratelimited() so that legacy iptables users get a hint in dmesg
when a rule is rejected.

A few observations below.

[Severity: Low]
Should this string get a trailing newline like its two siblings in
hbh_mt6_check()?

The missing '\n' was harmless while this was pr_debug() (compiled out or
dynamic-debug gated), but as an unconditional pr_info_ratelimited() the
record is left open for continuation:

kernel/printk/printk.c:printk_sprint() {
	/* Mark and strip a trailing newline. */
	if (text_len && text[text_len - 1] == '\n') {
		text_len--;
		*flags |= LOG_NEWLINE;
	}
}

kernel/printk/printk.c:vprintk_store() {
	/* A message without a trailing newline can be continued. */
	if (!(flags & LOG_NEWLINE))
		prb_commit(&e);
	else
		prb_final_commit(&e);
}

So an iptables-legacy rule with IP6T_OPTS_NSTRICT set produces a dmesg
line that gets glued to whatever is printed next, which works against the
"hint via dmesg" goal in the changelog.

The same missing '\n' appears in three more of the converted strings, noted
below.

[Severity: Low]
Same question here in rt_mt6_check(): the two messages above it end in
'\n' but this one does not, so a rule with IP6T_RT_RES or IP6T_RT_FST_MASK
and rt_type != 0 leaves the record un-terminated.

Would it be worth adding the '\n' here in idletimer_tg_create() too?  This
one is reached from idletimer_tg_checkentry() when sysfs_create_file()
fails, and the other strings converted in this file
("timeout value is zero\n", "label is empty or not nul-terminated\n") are
newline terminated.

[Severity: Low]
The changelog says:

    Still, turn pr_debug() into pr_info_ratelimited() in the .check
    path since this helps provide a hint via dmesg in legacy iptables.

These three conversions are in idletimer_tg_init(), which is __init and not
an xtables checkentry callback, so they fall outside the ".check path"
described above.

Were these intended?  Ratelimiting can never trigger on a one-shot module
init failure, and pr_err() would be the usual level for class_create(),
device_create() and xt_register_targets() failing.

[Severity: Low]
Do these new messages need a pr_fmt() in this file to be identifiable?

xt_NETMAP.c and xt_REDIRECT.c do not define pr_fmt(), so the fallback in
include/linux/printk.h applies:

	#define pr_fmt(fmt) fmt

while the peer site does define one:

net/netfilter/xt_MASQUERADE.c:
	#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt

and prints the byte-identical strings "bad MAP_IPS." and
"bad rangesize %u".  The result is that MASQUERADE reports
"xt_MASQUERADE: bad MAP_IPS." while NETMAP and REDIRECT report a bare
"bad MAP_IPS.", so dmesg no longer says which target rejected the rule.
With pr_debug() the dynamic debug machinery supplied module, file and
function, so this did not matter before.

netfilter: nf_tables: skip double clone set expressions on element insert

This adds an override_exprs flag so that the dynset and newsetelem paths
borrow the set's expressions instead of cloning them when userspace does
not supply an override, and releases the expression array only when it
really is an override.  The same flag is now used to decide whether the
dynset expression override is dumped back to userspace.

[Severity: Medium]
Can the message emitted by nft_dynset_dump() after this change be rejected
by nft_dynset_init() when it is replayed?

With the widened condition, a dynset attached to a set that owns
expressions (set->num_exprs > 0) now dumps its override.  For
priv->num_exprs > 1 that override is emitted as an NFTA_DYNSET_EXPRESSIONS
nest:

net/netfilter/nft_dynset.c:nft_dynset_dump() {
	...
	u32 flags = priv->invert ? NFT_DYNSET_F_INV : 0;
	...
	} else if (priv->num_exprs > 1) {
		struct nlattr *nest;

		nest = nla_nest_start_noflag(skb, NFTA_DYNSET_EXPRESSIONS);
	...
	if (nla_put_be32(skb, NFTA_DYNSET_FLAGS, htonl(flags)))
	...
}

The dumped NFTA_DYNSET_FLAGS is computed only from priv->invert, so
NFT_DYNSET_F_EXPR is never set, even though priv->expr records that
userspace passed it at creation time.  On the parse side the
NFTA_DYNSET_EXPRESSIONS branch requires that flag:

net/netfilter/nft_dynset.c:nft_dynset_init() {
	...
	} else if (tb[NFTA_DYNSET_EXPRESSIONS]) {
		...
		if (!priv->expr)
			return -EINVAL;
	...
}

So a rule with two override expressions on an NFT_SET_EVAL set that also
has two set expressions (for example counter plus quota) appears to be
dumped in a form that the kernel's own parser refuses with -EINVAL when the
netlink message is sent back (raw netlink echo, or libnftnl parse-then-build
restore paths).  Before this patch that configuration emitted no expression
attributes at all, so the replay was accepted and silently fell back to the
set's expressions.

The missing NFT_DYNSET_F_EXPR in the dump path predates this patch (it is
already reachable for priv->set->num_exprs == 0 with more than one
expression), but the new condition extends the asymmetry to
override-on-eval-set rules that used to round-trip.  Should
nft_dynset_dump() also report NFT_DYNSET_F_EXPR when priv->expr is set?

netfilter: nf_tables: fix device name and prefix match in hook lookup

This changes nft_hook_list_find() so a hook spec only matches another
spec of the same kind (prefix vs exact name) and the same length,
replacing the previous strncmp() over min(hook->ifnamelen,
this->ifnamelen).  hook_is_prefix() also gains a const argument.

[Severity: Critical]
nft_hook_list_find() has two callers with different expectations, and this
turns it into a pure identity comparator for both.  The delete/get paths
(nf_tables_delchain_hook(), nft_flowtable_del_hook()) want identity, but
the add paths use it as an overlap rejector:

nf_tables_parse_netdev_hooks()
	if (nft_hook_list_find(hook_list, hook)) {
		NL_SET_BAD_ATTR(extack, tmp);
		nft_netdev_hook_free(hook);
		err = -EEXIST;
		goto err_hook;
	}

and the same in nf_tables_updchain(), nft_register_flowtable_net_hooks()
and nft_flowtable_update().

The Fixes-referenced commit 6d07a289504a states the min() compare was
deliberate: "When checking for duplicate hooks, compare the shortest
prefix so a device may never match more than a single hook spec."  Does
this change intentionally drop that invariant?

Concretely, is this still rejected after the patch?

  nft add chain netdev t c \
    '{ type filter hook ingress devices = { "eth*", "eth0" } ; }'

Before, prefix "eth" (ifnamelen 3) and exact "eth0" (ifnamelen 5) matched
via strncmp(..., min(3, 5)) and gave -EEXIST.  Now
hook_is_prefix(hook) != hook_is_prefix(this) short-circuits, so both hooks
end up in the same hook_list.  Prefix "eth" versus prefix "eth0" is
likewise separated by the ifnamelen compare.

nft_netdev_hook_alloc() then builds one nf_hook_ops per matching netdev
per hook:

	for_each_netdev(net, dev) {
		if (strncmp(dev->name, hook->ifname, hook->ifnamelen))
			continue;
		...
		ops->dev = dev;
		list_add_tail(&ops->list, &hook->ops_list);
	}

so two distinct nft_hook objects each own an ops with ops->dev == eth0,
and nft_netdev_register_hooks() registers both.  nf_hook_entries_grow()
only rejects duplicates for NF_HOOK_OP_BPF, so both land in
eth0->nf_hooks_ingress and the base chain is evaluated twice per packet.
For flowtables the cross-flowtable -EEXIST guard in
nft_register_flowtable_net_hooks() is bypassed the same way, so the same
device gets two FLOW_BLOCK_BIND calls.

Can this also leave a dangling struct net_device pointer?  Both notifier
loops service only the first hook that owns an ops for the device, because
of the unconditional break after the switch:

net/netfilter/nft_chain_filter.c:nft_netdev_event() {
	list_for_each_entry(hook, &basechain->hook_list, list) {
		ops = nft_hook_find_ops(hook, dev);
		...
		switch (event) {
		case NETDEV_UNREGISTER:
			...
			nf_unregister_net_hook(dev_net(dev), ops);
			list_del_rcu(&ops->list);
			kfree_rcu(ops, rcu);
			break;
		...
		}
		break;
	}
	return 0;
}

nft_flowtable_event() in nf_tables_api.c has the same trailing break.  On
ip link del eth0 only the first hook's ops is unregistered and freed; the
second hook keeps a registered nf_hook_ops whose ops->dev points at the
device that is then freed, since nf_hook_ops holds no device reference.

A later teardown (nft delete chain, nft delete table, dormant toggle,
netns exit) walks every ops:

net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:nft_netdev_unregister_hooks() {
	list_for_each_entry_safe(hook, next, hook_list, list) {
		if (!(table->flags & NFT_TABLE_F_DORMANT)) {
			list_for_each_entry(ops, &hook->ops_list, list)
				nf_unregister_net_hook(net, ops);
		}
	...
}

and __nf_unregister_net_hook() reaches nf_hook_entry_head(net, pf,
reg->hooknum, reg->dev), which does dev_net(dev) and returns
&dev->nf_hooks_ingress, i.e. a read and then a write through the stale
pointer.  For flowtables, nft_unregister_flowtable_ops() additionally
calls ->setup(..., ops->dev, FLOW_BLOCK_UNBIND) on the freed device.  The
orphaned nf_hook_entries blob is also leaked.

On NETDEV_REGISTER the same break means only one of two covering hooks
gains an ops, so the other stays permanently unhooked.

Would it work to keep the strict identity match only for the
delete/update lookups and retain the prefix-overlap semantics for the
add/-EEXIST paths, e.g. as two separate helpers?  Alternatively, should
the unconditional break in nft_netdev_event() and nft_flowtable_event()
be dropped so every matching hook is serviced?

The commit message describes only the delete/update lookup semantics; the
fact that configurations previously rejected with -EEXIST are now
accepted is not mentioned.  Could that be spelled out?
