[ Upstream commit 13f5251fd17088170c18844534682d9cab5ff5aa ]

For bridge(br_flood) or broadcast/multicast packets, they could clone
skb with unconfirmed conntrack which break the rule that unconfirmed
skb->_nfct is never shared.  With nfqueue running on my system, the race
can be easily reproduced with following warning calltrace:

The original code just triggered the warning but do nothing. It will
caused the shared conntrack moves to the dying list and the packet be
droppped (nf_ct_resolve_clash returns NF_DROP for dying conntrack).

iptables -A FORWARD -m mark --mark 0x1000000/0x1000000 -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 100 --queue-bypass

ps: Our nfq userspace program will set mark on packets whose connection
has already been processed.

PC1 sends broadcast packets simulated by hping3:

hping3 --rand-source --udp 192.168.1.255 -i u100

- Broadcast racing flow chart is as follow:

br_handle_frame
  BR_HOOK(NFPROTO_BRIDGE, NF_BR_PRE_ROUTING, br_handle_frame_finish)
  // skb->_nfct (unconfirmed conntrack) is constructed at PRE_ROUTING stage
  br_handle_frame_finish
    // check if this packet is broadcast
    br_flood_forward
      br_flood
        list_for_each_entry_rcu(p, &br->port_list, list) // iterate through each port
          maybe_deliver
            deliver_clone
              skb = skb_clone(skb)
              __br_forward
                BR_HOOK(NFPROTO_BRIDGE, NF_BR_FORWARD,...)
                // queue in our nfq and received by our userspace program
                // goto __nf_conntrack_confirm with process context on CPU 1
    br_pass_frame_up
      BR_HOOK(NFPROTO_BRIDGE, NF_BR_LOCAL_IN,...)
      // goto __nf_conntrack_confirm with softirq context on CPU 0

Because conntrack confirm can happen at both INPUT and POSTROUTING
stage.  So with NFQUEUE running, skb->_nfct with the same unconfirmed
conntrack could race on different core.

This patch fixes a repeating kernel splat, now it is only displayed
once.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 110/123] netfilter: physdev: relax br_netfilter dependency

[Sasha Levin]

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

[ Upstream commit 8e2f311a68494a6677c1724bdcb10bada21af37c ]

Following command:
  iptables -D FORWARD -m physdev ...
causes connectivity loss in some setups.

Reason is that iptables userspace will probe kernel for the module revision
of the physdev patch, and physdev has an artificial dependency on
br_netfilter (xt_physdev use makes no sense unless a br_netfilter module
is loaded).

This causes the "phydev" module to be loaded, which in turn enables the
"call-iptables" infrastructure.

bridged packets might then get dropped by the iptables ruleset.

The better fix would be to change the "call-iptables" defaults to 0 and
enforce explicit setting to 1, but that breaks backwards compatibility.

This does the next best thing: add a request_module call to checkentry.
This was a stray '-D ... -m physdev' won't activate br_netfilter
anymore.
