[PATCH v2] net: rfs: enable RFS before first data packet is received
First packet received on a passive tcp flow is not correctly RFS
steered.
One sock_rps_record_flow() call is missing in inet_accept()
But before that, we also must record rxhash when child socket is setup.

Avoid double seq adjustment for loopback traffic
because it causes silent repetition of TCP data. One
example is passive FTP with DNAT rule and difference in the
length of IP addresses.
This patch adds check if packet is sent and
received via loopback device. As the same conntrack is
used both for outgoing and incoming direction, we restrict
seq adjustment to happen only in POSTROUTING.

By default, when broadcast or multicast packet are sent from a local
application, they are sent to the interface then looped by the kernel
to other local applications, going throught netfilter hooks in the
process.
These looped packet have their MAC header removed from the skb by the
kernel looping code. This confuse various netfilter's netlink queue,
netlink log and the legacy ip_queue, because they try to extract a
hardware address from these packets, but extracts a part of the IP
header instead.
This patch prevent NFQUEUE, NFLOG and ip_QUEUE to include a MAC header
if there is none in the packet.

We assume that transhdrlen is positive on the first fragment
which is wrong for raw packets. So we don't add exthdrlen to the
packet size for raw packets. This leads to a reallocation on IPsec
because we have not enough headroom on the skb to place the IPsec
headers. This patch fixes this by adding exthdrlen to the packet
size whenever the send queue of the socket is empty. This issue was
introduced with git commit 1470ddf7 (inet: Remove explicit write

The current code takes an unaligned pointer and does htonl() on it to
make it big-endian, then does a memcpy(). The problem is that the
compiler decides that since the pointer is to a __be32, it is legal
to optimize the copy into a processor word store. However, on an
architecture that does not handled unaligned writes in kernel space,
this produces an unaligned exception fault.
The solution is to track the pointer as a "char *" (which removes a bunch
of unpleasant casts in any case), and then just use put_unaligned_be32()
to write the value to memory.

We then call unlink_from_unused() only for the owner of the 0->1
transition.

The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.
If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".
The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm
tree. This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK. Cases of printing
pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful
information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is
already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

This code block executes when opt->srr_is_hit is set. It will be
set only by ip_options_rcv_srr().
ip_options_rcv_srr() walks until it hits a matching nexthop in the SRR
option addresses, and when it matches one 1) looks up the route for
that nexthop and 2) on route lookup success it writes that nexthop
value into iph->daddr.
ip_forward_options() runs later, and again walks the SRR option
addresses looking for the option matching the destination of the route
stored in skb_rtable(). This route will be the same exact one looked
up for the nexthop by ip_options_rcv_srr().
Therefore "rt->rt_dst == iph->daddr" must be true.
All it really needs to do is record the route's source address in the
matching SRR option adddress. It need not write iph->daddr again,
since that has already been done by ip_options_rcv_srr() as detailed
above.

This patch adds IPPROTO_ICMP socket kind. It makes it possible to send
ICMP_ECHO messages and receive the corresponding ICMP_ECHOREPLY messages
without any special privileges. In other words, the patch makes it
possible to implement setuid-less and CAP_NET_RAW-less /bin/ping. In
order not to increase the kernel's attack surface, the new functionality
is disabled by default, but is enabled at bootup by supporting Linux
distributions, optionally with restriction to a group or a group range
(see below).
Similar functionality is implemented in Mac OS X:
http://www.manpagez.com/man/4/icmp/
A new ping socket is created with
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, PROT_ICMP)
Message identifiers (octets 4-5 of ICMP header) are interpreted as local
ports. Addresses are stored in struct sockaddr_in. No port numbers are
reserved for privileged processes, port 0 is reserved for API ("let the
kernel pick a free number"). There is no notion of remote ports, remote
port numbers provided by the user (e.g. in connect()) are ignored.
Data sent and received include ICMP headers. This is deliberate to:
1) Avoid the need to transport headers values like sequence numbers by
other means.
2) Make it easier to port existing programs using raw sockets.
ICMP headers given to send() are checked and sanitized. The type must be
ICMP_ECHO and the code must be zero (future extensions might relax this,
see below). The id is set to the number (local port) of the socket, the
checksum is always recomputed.
ICMP reply packets received from the network are demultiplexed according
to their id's, and are returned by recv() without any modifications.
IP header information and ICMP errors of those packets may be obtained
via ancillary data (IP_RECVTTL, IP_RETOPTS, and IP_RECVERR). ICMP source
quenches and redirects are reported as fake errors via the error queue
(IP_RECVERR); the next hop address for redirects is saved to ee_info (in
network order).
socket(2) is restricted to the group range specified in
"/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range". It is "1 0" by default, meaning
that nobody (not even root) may create ping sockets. Setting it to "100
100" would grant permissions to the single group (to either make
/sbin/ping g+s and owned by this group or to grant permissions to the
"netadmins" group), "0 4294967295" would enable it for the world, "100
4294967295" would enable it for the users, but not daemons.
The existing code might be (in the unlikely case anyone needs it)
extended rather easily to handle other similar pairs of ICMP messages
(Timestamp/Reply, Information Request/Reply, Address Mask Request/Reply
etc.).
Userspace ping util & patch for it:
http://openwall.info/wiki/people/segoon/ping
For Openwall GNU/*/Linux it was the last step on the road to the
setuid-less distro. A revision of this patch (for RHEL5/OpenVZ kernels)
is in use in Owl-current, such as in the 2011/03/12 LiveCD ISOs:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/openwall/Owl/current/iso/
Initially this functionality was written by Pavel Kankovsky for
Linux 2.4.32, but unfortunately it was never made public.
All ping options (-b, -p, -Q, -R, -s, -t, -T, -M, -I), are tested with
the patch.
PATCH v3:
- switched to flowi4.
- minor changes to be consistent with raw sockets code.
PATCH v2:
- changed ping_debug() to pr_debug().
- removed CONFIG_IP_PING.
- removed ping_seq_fops.owner field (unused for procfs).
- switched to proc_net_fops_create().
- switched to %pK in seq_printf().
PATCH v1:
- fixed checksumming bug.
- CAP_NET_RAW may not create icmp sockets anymore.
RFC v2:
- minor cleanups.
- introduced sysctl'able group range to restrict socket(2).
