netfilter 00/05: netfilter fixes

[Patrick McHardy]

Hi Dave,

following are the bugfixes for nf_conntrack discussed over the past
days, as well as a bugfix for the use of pointer to a local variable
outside the scope of the variable:

- a fix for use count initialization of the "untracked" conntrack,
  fixing freeing of memory in the data section

- a patch for per netns conntrack cache pointers to fix issues
  with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU

- a patch to disable conntrack expect hash size modification at runtime

- a patch for xtables to fix out of scope usage of a local variable

- a patch to fix conntrack hash resizing with multiple namespaces by
  moving the hashsize into the per netns data

Please apply or pull from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kaber/nf-2.6.git master

Please note: I forgot to add "Cc: stable@kernel.org" to two of these
patches and manually added it to the patch files, so I'd appreciate
if you could apply the patches manually instead of pulling from the
git tree this time.

Thanks!

commit 056ff3e3bd1563969a311697323ff929df94415c

    netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix memory corruption with multiple namespaces
    
    As discovered by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the "untracked"
    conntrack, which is located in the data section, might be accidentally
    freed when a new namespace is instantiated while the untracked conntrack
    is attached to a skb because the reference count it re-initialized.
    
    The best fix would be to use a seperate untracked conntrack per
    namespace since it includes a namespace pointer. Unfortunately this is
    not possible without larger changes since the namespace is not easily
    available everywhere we need it. For now move the untracked conntrack
    initialization to the init_net setup function to make sure the reference
    count is not re-initialized and handle cleanup in the init_net cleanup
    function to make sure namespaces can exit properly while the untracked
    conntrack is in use in other namespaces.

netfilter 02/05: nf_conntrack: per netns nf_conntrack_cachep

[Patrick McHardy]

commit ab59b19be78aac65cdd599fb5002c9019885e061
Author: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Feb 4 14:54:05 2010 +0100

    netfilter: nf_conntrack: per netns nf_conntrack_cachep
    
    nf_conntrack_cachep is currently shared by all netns instances, but
    because of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU special semantics, this is wrong.
    
    If we use a shared slab cache, one object can instantly flight between
    one hash table (netns ONE) to another one (netns TWO), and concurrent
    reader (doing a lookup in netns ONE, 'finding' an object of netns TWO)
    can be fooled without notice, because no RCU grace period has to be
    observed between object freeing and its reuse.
    
    We dont have this problem with UDP/TCP slab caches because TCP/UDP
    hashtables are global to the machine (and each object has a pointer to
    its netns).
    
    If we use per netns conntrack hash tables, we also *must* use per netns
    conntrack slab caches, to guarantee an object can not escape from one
    namespace to another one.

netfilter 03/05: nf_conntrack: restrict runtime expect hashsize modifications

    netfilter: nf_conntrack: restrict runtime expect hashsize modifications
    
    Expectation hashtable size was simply glued to a variable with no code
    to rehash expectations, so it was a bug to allow writing to it.
    Make "expect_hashsize" readonly.

netfilter 05/05: nf_conntrack: fix hash resizing with namespaces

[Patrick McHardy]

commit 9ab48ddcb144fdee908708669448dd136cf4894a
Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
Date:   Mon Feb 8 17:35:23 2010 +0100

    netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix hash resizing with namespaces
    
    As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash
    size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through
    /sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only
    resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces
    will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging
    the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it.
    
    Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global
    hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a
    new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for
    now as other namespaces are not handled currently.

Thanks Dave. I plan to submit a first batch of patches queued for
net-next-2.6 soon, however these fixes introduced a large number
of conflicts. If you could merge net-2.6 into net-next-2.6 I'll
resolve them and send a pull request.

Thanks!

Ah that is a good opportunity then to rebase my pending -next patches, 
to reduce conflicts you would have to solve when merging things after 
the conflict resolution.

netfilter 00/05: netfilter fixes

[Patrick McHardy]

Hi Dave,

the following patches fix a couple of bugs in netfilter and IPVS:

- a fix for a crash triggered by fragmentes received by bridge netfilter being
  combined with fragments received on non-bridge devices from myself

- a fix for IPVS synchronization on connection close from Xiaotian Feng

- a fix for use of uninitialized fields in IPVS from Simon Horman

- a patch to document the minimal required iptables version from Jan Engelhardt

I'll also push the fragment fix to stable (forgot to add CC before committing)
once it hits mainline.

Please apply or pull from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kaber/nf-2.6.git master

Thanks!

Pulled, thanks Patrick.

It would be nice to see this fixed:

  CHECK   include/linux/netfilter (57 files)
/home/davem/src/GIT/net-2.6/usr/include/linux/netfilter/xt_LED.h:6: found __[us]{8,16,32,64} type without #include <linux/types.h>
  LD      vmlinux

Thanks!

Appologies for my silence over the past week, holidays and a swine
cold kept me away from the computer .)

I've queued a fix for this, thanks.

netfilter 00/05: netfilter fixes

[Patrick McHardy]

Hi Dave,

the following five patches contain netfilter fixes for 2.6.29:

- a patch from Eric Leblond to fix tuple inversion for IPv6 Node Information
  Requests in IPv6 conntrack

- a patch from Eric Leblond to ignore ICMPv6 negotiation messages in IPv6
  conntrack since it can't track multicast communication. This prevents
  those packets from getting marked as INVALID.

- two ctnetlink fixes from Pablo to fix a small inconsistency in conntrack
  creation wrt. NAT sequence number adjustment settings and to fix netlink
  unicast delivery of responses messages.

- a patch from Qu Haoran to fix the SCTP match when matching on the entire
  chunkmap.

Please apply or pull from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kaber/nf-2.6.git

Thanks!

I was going to pull from your tree and take it like that, but when I
pulled I got 5 real changes and 50 merges with net-2.6, yikes! :-)

If there was one or two merge changesets in there, I would have
taken it.  But anything more than that for a tree containing
5 bug fixes is excessive.

I'll apply these as patches, but I really do want to be able to
pull from your trees so please try to provide a cleaner tree
next time.

Thanks!

Ugh sorry, thats happening automatically, but it usually doesn't show
up since it should be fast forwards. I'll have a look at what went
wrong.

I'll make sure of it, sorry.

I think you got a change into your tree locally, this went via net-2.6
and thereafterwards it started using merges.  But that's just a guess.

Want some suggestions for work flow? :-)

1) For net-2.6 just clone Linus's tree, pull net-2.6 once as it is
   right now, then leave it alone.

   Periodically sync your origin (which is Linus's tree) via
   "git fetch origin".  This just grabs the objects.

   Then you can just go "git request-pull origin $(GIT_URL)" and
   it'll just work.

   Since the likelyhood for conflicts in the net-2.6 tree with
   your netfilter work is incredibly unlikely, doing a merge
   should never be necessary.  But if it is just go
   "git pull origin".

2) For net-next-2.6 use net-next-2.6 as your "origin" (you can change
   this in .git/config), conflicts are more likely so every once in
   a while a "git pull origin" will be necessary.

If that doesn't work out or feel comfortable for you, that's
fine.

Yes, probably, although I really never commit to my mirrored trees.
It might have something to do with my disk dying last week and the
restore I did :)

I'll try that, maybe starting with net-2.6 since that tree is
easier to maintain for me. My workflow is quite out of sync
with modern git commands, some of my scripts are still adapted
from bitkeeper times :)

You poor thing, I should buy you some beer :-)

But to be honest I had a caveman like mentality about
using GIT and it took me a long time to get to the
current way I do things:

1) Dark ages:

	Fresh git clone, add patches, push to Linus.
	Repeat, rebasing every time.

2) Brain enabled:

	Stable git clone, used over and over again.

	After Linus pulls, remember HEAD and use that as
	base for next pull request.

	Pull in Linus's tree occaisionally when conflicts
	might be possible.

3) Full enlightenment:

	Stable git clone, used over and over again.

	Track Linus's tree using "git fetch origin"

	When conflicts are possible "git pull origin"

	All pull requests are sent using "origin" as
	the base.

I'll skip step 2 and will send a perfect pull request soon :)
