Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter fixes for net The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for you net tree, they are: 1) There was a race condition between parallel save/swap and delete, which resulted a kernel crash due to the increase ref for save, swap, wrong ref decrease operations. Reported and fixed by Vishwanath Pai. 2) OVS should call into CT NAT for packets of new expected connections only when the conntrack state is persisted with the 'commit' option to the OVS CT action. From Jarno Rajahalme. 3) Resolve kconfig dependencies with new OVS NAT support. From Arnd Bergmann. 4) Early validation of entry->target_offset to make sure it doesn't take us out from the blob, from Florian Westphal. 5) Again early validation of entry->next_offset to make sure it doesn't take out from the blob, also from Florian. 6) Check that entry->target_offset is always of of sizeof(struct xt_entry) for unconditional entries, when checking both from check_underflow() and when checking for loops in mark_source_chains(), again from Florian. 7) Fix inconsistent behaviour in nfnetlink_queue when NFQA_CFG_F_FAIL_OPEN is set and netlink_unicast() fails due to buffer overrun, we have to reinject the packet as the user expects. 8) Enforce nul-terminated table names from getsockopt GET_ENTRIES requests. 9) Don't assume skb->sk is set from nft_bridge_reject and synproxy, this fixes a recent update of the code to namespaceify ip_default_ttl, patch from Liping Zhang. This batch comes with four patches to validate x_tables blobs coming from userspace. CONFIG_USERNS exposes the x_tables interface to unpriviledged users and to be honest this interface never received the attention for this move away from the CAP_NET_ADMIN domain. Florian is working on another round with more patches with more sanity checks, so expect a bit more Netfilter fixes in this development cycle than usual. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-03-28openvswitch: call only into reachable nf-nat codeArnd Bergmann
The openvswitch code has gained support for calling into the nf-nat-ipv4/ipv6 modules, however those can be loadable modules in a configuration in which openvswitch is built-in, leading to link errors: net/built-in.o: In function `__ovs_ct_lookup': :(.text+0x2cc2c8): undefined reference to `nf_nat_icmp_reply_translation' :(.text+0x2cc66c): undefined reference to `nf_nat_icmpv6_reply_translation' The dependency on (!NF_NAT || NF_NAT) prevents similar issues, but NF_NAT is set to 'y' if any of the symbols selecting it are built-in, but the link error happens when any of them are modular. A second issue is that even if CONFIG_NF_NAT_IPV6 is built-in, CONFIG_NF_NAT_IPV4 might be completely disabled. This is unlikely to be useful in practice, but the driver currently only handles IPv6 being optional. This patch improves the Kconfig dependency so that openvswitch cannot be built-in if either of the two other symbols are set to 'm', and it replaces the incorrect #ifdef in ovs_ct_nat_execute() with two "if (IS_ENABLED())" checks that should catch all corner cases also make the code more readable. The same #ifdef exists ovs_ct_nat_to_attr(), where it does not cause a link error, but for consistency I'm changing it the same way.

2016-03-28openvswitch: Fix checking for new expected connections.Jarno Rajahalme
OVS should call into CT NAT for packets of new expected connections only when the conntrack state is persisted with the 'commit' option to the OVS CT action. The test for this condition is doubly wrong, as the CT status field is ANDed with the bit number (IPS_EXPECTED_BIT) rather than the mask (IPS_EXPECTED), and due to the wrong assumption that the expected bit would apply only for the first (i.e., 'new') packet of a connection, while in fact the expected bit remains on for the lifetime of an expected connection. The 'ctinfo' value IP_CT_RELATED derived from the ct status can be used instead, as it is only ever applicable to the 'new' packets of the expected connection.

2016-03-14openvswitch: Interface with NAT.Jarno Rajahalme
Extend OVS conntrack interface to cover NAT. New nested OVS_CT_ATTR_NAT attribute may be used to include NAT with a CT action. A bare OVS_CT_ATTR_NAT only mangles existing and expected connections. If OVS_NAT_ATTR_SRC or OVS_NAT_ATTR_DST is included within the nested attributes, new (non-committed/non-confirmed) connections are mangled according to the rest of the nested attributes. The corresponding OVS userspace patch series includes test cases (in tests/system-traffic.at) that also serve as example uses.

2016-03-14openvswitch: Find existing conntrack entry after upcall.Jarno Rajahalme
Add a new function ovs_ct_find_existing() to find an existing conntrack entry for which this packet was already applied to. This is only to be called when there is evidence that the packet was already tracked and committed, but we lost the ct reference due to an userspace upcall. ovs_ct_find_existing() is called from skb_nfct_cached(), which can now hide the fact that the ct reference may have been lost due to an upcall. This allows ovs_ct_commit() to be simplified. This patch is needed by later "openvswitch: Interface with NAT" patch, as we need to be able to pass the packet through NAT using the original ct reference also after the reference is lost after an upcall.

2015-12-29openvswitch: Fix template leak in error cases.Joe Stringer
Commit 5b48bb8506c5 ("openvswitch: Fix helper reference leak") fixed a reference leak on helper objects, but inadvertently introduced a leak on the ct template. Previously, ct_info.ct->general.use was initialized to 0 by nf_ct_tmpl_alloc() and only incremented when ovs_ct_copy_action() returned successful. If an error occurred while adding the helper or adding the action to the actions buffer, the __ovs_ct_free_action() cleanup would use nf_ct_put() to free the entry; However, this relies on atomic_dec_and_test(ct_info.ct->general.use). This reference must be incremented first, or nf_ct_put() will never free it. Fix the issue by acquiring a reference to the template immediately after allocation.

The previous patch changed nf_ct_frag6_gather() to morph reassembled skb with the previous one. This means that the return value is always NULL or the skb argument. So change it to an err value. Instead of invoking NF_HOOK recursively with threshold to skip already-called hooks we can now just return NF_ACCEPT to move on to the next hook except for -EINPROGRESS (which means skb has been queued for reassembly), in which case we return NF_STOLEN.

2015-11-23netfilter: ipv6: nf_defrag: avoid/free clone operationsFlorian Westphal
commit 6aafeef03b9d9ecf ("netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs") changed ipv6 defrag to not use the original skbs anymore. So rather than keeping the original skbs around just to discard them afterwards just use the original skbs directly for the fraglist of the newly assembled skb and remove the extra clone/free operations. The skb that completes the fragment queue is morphed into a the reassembled one instead, just like ipv4 defrag. openvswitch doesn't need any additional skb_morph magic anymore to deal with this situation so just remove that. A followup patch can then also remove the NF_HOOK (re)invocation in the ipv6 netfilter defrag hook.

2015-10-27openvswitch: Fix skb leak using IPv6 defragJoe Stringer
nf_ct_frag6_gather() makes a clone of each skb passed to it, and if the reassembly is successful, expects the caller to free all of the original skbs using nf_ct_frag6_consume_orig(). This call was previously missing, meaning that the original fragments were never freed (with the exception of the last fragment to arrive). Fix this by ensuring that all original fragments except for the last fragment are freed via nf_ct_frag6_consume_orig(). The last fragment will be morphed into the head, so it must not be freed yet. Furthermore, retain the ->next pointer for the head after skb_morph().

2015-08-27openvswitch: Add conntrack actionJoe Stringer
Expose the kernel connection tracker via OVS. Userspace components can make use of the CT action to populate the connection state (ct_state) field for a flow. This state can be subsequently matched. Exposed connection states are OVS_CS_F_*: - NEW (0x01) - Beginning of a new connection. - ESTABLISHED (0x02) - Part of an existing connection. - RELATED (0x04) - Related to an established connection. - INVALID (0x20) - Could not track the connection for this packet. - REPLY_DIR (0x40) - This packet is in the reply direction for the flow. - TRACKED (0x80) - This packet has been sent through conntrack. When the CT action is executed by itself, it will send the packet through the connection tracker and populate the ct_state field with one or more of the connection state flags above. The CT action will always set the TRACKED bit. When the COMMIT flag is passed to the conntrack action, this specifies that information about the connection should be stored. This allows subsequent packets for the same (or related) connections to be correlated with this connection. Sending subsequent packets for the connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR. The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the "ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id. IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the CT action. The maximum received unit (MRU) size is tracked so that refragmentation can occur during output. IP frag handling contributed by Andy Zhou. Based on original design by Justin Pettit.
