Patrick McHardy b54ad409fd netfilter: ctnetlink: fix conntrack creation race
Conntrack creation through ctnetlink has two races:

- the timer may expire and free the conntrack concurrently, causing an
  invalid memory access when attempting to put it in the hash tables

- an identical conntrack entry may be created in the packet processing
  path in the time between the lookup and hash insertion

Hold the conntrack lock between the lookup and insertion to avoid this.

Pablo Neira Ayuso e6a7d3c04f netfilter: ctnetlink: remove bogus module dependency between ctnetlink and nf_nat
This patch removes the module dependency between ctnetlink and
nf_nat by means of an indirect call that is initialized when
nf_nat is loaded. Now, nf_conntrack_netlink only requires
nf_conntrack and nfnetlink.

This patch puts nfnetlink_parse_nat_setup_hook into the
nf_conntrack_core to avoid dependencies between ctnetlink,
nf_conntrack_ipv4 and nf_conntrack_ipv6.

This patch also introduces the function ctnetlink_change_nat
that is only invoked from the creation path. Actually, the
nat handling cannot be invoked from the update path since
this is not allowed. By introducing this function, we remove
the useless nat handling in the update path and we avoid
deadlock-prone code.

This patch also adds the required EAGAIN logic for nfnetlink.

Alexey Dobriyan 08f6547d26 netfilter: netns nf_conntrack: final netns tweaks
Add init_net checks to not remove kmem_caches twice and so on.

Refactor functions to split code which should be executed only for
init_net into one place.

ip_ct_attach and ip_ct_destroy assignments remain separate, because
they're separate stages in setup and teardown.

NOTE: NOTRACK code is in for-every-net part. It will be made per-netns
after we decidce how to do it correctly.

Alexey Dobriyan 6058fa6bb9 netfilter: netns nf_conntrack: per-netns event cache
Heh, last minute proof-reading of this patch made me think,
that this is actually unneeded, simply because "ct" pointers will be
different for different conntracks in different netns, just like they
are different in one netns.

Not so sure anymore.

[Patrick: pointers will be different, flushing can only be done while
 inactive though and thus it needs to be per netns]

Alexey Dobriyan 5a1fb391d8 netfilter: netns nf_conntrack: add ->ct_net -- pointer from conntrack to netns
Conntrack (struct nf_conn) gets pointer to netns: ->ct_net -- netns in which
it was created. It comes from netdevice.

->ct_net is write-once field.

Every conntrack in system has ->ct_net initialized, no exceptions.

->ct_net doesn't pin netns: conntracks are recycled after timeouts and
pinning background traffic will prevent netns from even starting shutdown
sequence.

Right now every conntrack is created in init_net.

Krzysztof Piotr Oledzki 584015727a netfilter: accounting rework: ct_extend + 64bit counters (v4)
Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but
it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are
still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters
waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime.

This patch:
 - reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure,
 - makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(),
 - makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n),
 - makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs,
 - extends counters from 32bit to 64bit,
 - renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter,
 - enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT),
 - set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT
 - removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling.

If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend.
Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area
to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with
acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".

Patrick McHardy ceeff7541e netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix ctnetlink related crash in nf_nat_setup_info()
When creation of a new conntrack entry in ctnetlink fails after having
set up the NAT mappings, the conntrack has an extension area allocated
that is not getting properly destroyed when freeing the conntrack again.
This means the NAT extension is still in the bysource hash, causing a
crash when walking over the hash chain the next time:

Fabian Hugelshofer 718d4ad98e netfilter: nf_conntrack: properly account terminating packets
Currently the last packet of a connection isn't accounted when its causing
abnormal termination.

Introduces nf_ct_kill_acct() which increments the accounting counters on
conntrack kill. The new function was necessary, because there are calls
to nf_ct_kill() which don't need accounting:

nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~847:
Kills ct and returns NF_REPEAT. We don't want to count twice.

nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~880:
Kills ct and returns NF_DROP. I think we don't want to count dropped
packets.

nf_conntrack_netlink.c line ~824:
As far as I can see ctnetlink_del_conntrack() is used to destroy a
conntrack on behalf of the user. There is an sk_buff, but I don't think
this is an actual packet. Incrementing counters here is therefore not
desired.

Patrick McHardy 34498825cb [NETFILTER]: non-power-of-two jhash optimizations
Apply Eric Dumazet's jhash optimizations where applicable. Quoting Eric:

Thanks to jhash, hash value uses full 32 bits. Instead of returning
hash % size (implying a divide) we return the high 32 bits of the
(hash * size) that will give results between [0 and size-1] and same
hash distribution.

On most cpus, a multiply is less expensive than a divide, by an order
of magnitude.

Patrick McHardy fae718ddaf [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_ipv4: fix module parameter compatibility
Some users do "modprobe ip_conntrack hashsize=...". Since we have the
module aliases this loads nf_conntrack_ipv4 and nf_conntrack, the
hashsize parameter is unknown for nf_conntrack_ipv4 however and makes
it fail.

Allow to specify hashsize= for both nf_conntrack and nf_conntrack_ipv4.

Note: the nf_conntrack message in the ringbuffer will display an
incorrect hashsize since nf_conntrack is first pulled in as a
dependency and calculates the size itself, then it gets changed
through a call to nf_conntrack_set_hashsize().
