2006-04-01[NETFILTER]: iptables 32bit compat layerDmitry Mishin
This patch extends current iptables compatibility layer in order to get 32bit iptables to work on 64bit kernel. Current layer is insufficient due to alignment checks both in kernel and user space tools. Patch is for current net-2.6.17 with addition of move of ipt_entry_{match| target} definitions to xt_entry_{match|target}.

2006-03-27[PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changesAlan Stern
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder. ATOMIC CHAINS ------------- arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain BLOCKING CHAINS --------------- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain kernel/module.c module_notify_list kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list net/core/dev.c netdev_chain net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)

In an ideal world we would never have allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world isn't (yet?) ideal. o introduce a new x_tables module o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only wrappers around x_tables provided functions o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/, include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code, gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

2005-11-09[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.Yasuyuki Kozakai
The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written. In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3 protocol. The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6, which is also cured here. For example, these issues include: 1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP messages 2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag" (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply isn't feasible in ipv6 3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking design 4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will fully kill it off 6 months later.

2005-09-26[NETFILTER]: Fix invalid module autoloading by splitting iptable_natHarald Welte
When you've enabled conntrack and NAT as a module (standard case in all distributions), and you've also enabled the new conntrack netlink interface, loading ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will auto-load iptable_nat.ko. This causes a huge performance penalty, since for every packet you iterate the nat code, even if you don't want it. This patch splits iptable_nat.ko into the NAT core (ip_nat.ko) and the iptables frontend (iptable_nat.ko). Threfore, ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will only pull ip_nat.ko, but not the frontend. ip_nat.ko will "only" allocate some resources, but not affect runtime performance. This separation is also a nice step in anticipation of new packet filters (nf-hipac, ipset, pkttables) being able to use the NAT core.

2005-09-22[NETFILTER] Fix conntrack event cache deadlock/oopsHarald Welte
This patch fixes a number of bugs. It cannot be reasonably split up in multiple fixes, since all bugs interact with each other and affect the same function: Bug #1: The event cache code cannot be called while a lock is held. Therefore, the call to ip_conntrack_event_cache() within ip_ct_refresh_acct() needs to be moved outside of the locked section. This fixes a number of 2.6.14-rcX oops and deadlock reports. Bug #2: We used to call ct_add_counters() for unconfirmed connections without holding a lock. Since the add operations are not atomic, we could race with another CPU. Bug #3: ip_ct_refresh_acct() lost REFRESH events in some cases where refresh (and the corresponding event) are desired, but no accounting shall be performed. Both, evenst and accounting implicitly depended on the skb parameter bein non-null. We now re-introduce a non-accounting "ip_ct_refresh()" variant to explicitly state the desired behaviour.

refcnt underflow: the reference count is decremented when a conntrack entry is removed from the hash but it is not incremented when entering new entries. missing protection of process context against softirq context: all cache operations need to locally disable softirqs to avoid races. Additionally the event cache can't be initialized when a packet enteres the conntrack code but needs to be initialized whenever we cache an event and the stored conntrack entry doesn't match the current one. incorrect flushing of the event cache in ip_ct_iterate_cleanup: without real locking we can't flush the cache for different CPUs without incurring races. The cache for different CPUs can only be flushed when no packets are going through the code. ip_ct_iterate_cleanup doesn't need to drop all references, so flushing is moved to the cleanup path.

2005-07-21[NETFILTER]: ip_conntrack_expect_related must not free expectationRusty Russell
If a connection tracking helper tells us to expect a connection, and we're already expecting that connection, we simply free the one they gave us and return success. The problem is that NAT helpers (eg. FTP) have to allocate the expectation first (to see what port is available) then rewrite the packet. If that rewrite fails, they try to remove the expectation, but it was freed in ip_conntrack_expect_related. This is one example of a larger problem: having registered the expectation, the pointer is no longer ours to use. Reference counting is needed for ctnetlink anyway, so introduce it now. To have a single "put" path, we need to grab the reference to the connection on creation, rather than open-coding it in the caller.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
