* rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump sizeGreg Rose2013-01-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit c7ac8679bec9397afe8918f788cbcef88c38da54 upstream. The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface. Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate enough data to satisfy the request.

| * netfilter: ctnetlink: fix loop in ctnetlink_get_conntrack()Pablo Neira Ayuso2011-01-131-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a loop in ctnetlink_get_conntrack() that can be triggered if you use the same socket to receive events and to perform a GET operation. Under heavy load, netlink_unicast() may return -EAGAIN, this error code is reserved in nfnetlink for the module load-on-demand. Instead, we return -ENOBUFS which is the appropriate error code that has to be propagated to user-space.

| * netfilter: fix race in conntrack between dump_table and destroyStephen Hemminger2011-01-111-9/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The netlink interface to dump the connection tracking table has a race when entries are deleted at the same time. A customer reported a crash and the backtrace showed thatctnetlink_dump_table was running while a conntrack entry was being destroyed. (see https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6402). According to RCU documentation, when using hlist_nulls the reader must handle the case of seeing a deleted entry and not proceed further down the linked list. The old code would continue which caused the scan to walk into the free list. This patch uses locking (rather than RCU) for this operation which is guaranteed safe, and no longer requires getting reference while doing dump operation.

* | netfilter: nf_conntrack_tstamp: add flow-based timestamp extensionPablo Neira Ayuso2011-01-191-1/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds flow-based timestamping for conntracks. This conntrack extension is disabled by default. Basically, we use two 64-bits variables to store the creation timestamp once the conntrack has been confirmed and the other to store the deletion time. This extension is disabled by default, to enable it, you have to: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp This patch allows to save memory for user-space flow-based loogers such as ulogd2. In short, ulogd2 does not need to keep a hashtable with the conntrack in user-space to know when they were created and destroyed, instead we use the kernel timestamp. If we want to have a sane IPFIX implementation in user-space, this nanosecs resolution timestamps are also useful. Other custom user-space applications can benefit from this via libnetfilter_conntrack. This patch modifies the /proc output to display the delta time in seconds since the flow start. You can also obtain the flow-start date by means of the conntrack-tools. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 1ae4de0cdf855305765592647025bde55e85e451, the secctx was exported via the /proc/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack and ctnetlink interfaces instead of the secmark. That patch introduced the use of security_secid_to_secctx() which may return a non-zero value on error. In one of my setups, I have NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK enabled but no security modules. Thus, security_secid_to_secctx() returns a negative value that results in the breakage of the /proc and `conntrack -L' outputs. To fix this, we skip the inclusion of secctx if the aforementioned function fails. This patch also fixes the dynamic netlink message size calculation if security_secid_to_secctx() returns an error, since its logic is also wrong. This problem exists in Linux kernel >= 2.6.37.

I have also added a sanity check in __nf_ct_expect_check() to avoid that kernel-space helpers may create an expectation if the master conntrack has no helper assigned. * adds some branches to check if the master conntrack helper exists, otherwise we skip the code that refers to kernel-space helper such as the local expectation list and the expectation policy. * allows to set the timeout for user-space expectations with no helper assigned. * a list of expectations created from user-space that depends on ctnetlink (if this module is removed, they are deleted). * includes USERSPACE in the /proc output for expectations that have been created by a user-space helper. This patch also modifies ctnetlink to skip including the helper name in the Netlink messages if no kernel-space helper is set (since no user-space expectation has not kernel-space kernel assigned).

Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

This patch also removes the possibility of setting a helper for existing conntracks.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through /sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it. Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for now as other namespaces are not handled currently. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | netfilter: nf_conntrack: split up IPCT_STATUS eventPatrick McHardy2010-02-031-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split up the IPCT_STATUS event into an IPCT_REPLY event, which is generated when the IPS_SEEN_REPLY bit is set, and an IPCT_ASSURED event, which is generated when the IPS_ASSURED bit is set. In combination with a following patch to support selective event delivery, this can be used for "sparse" conntrack replication: start replicating the conntrack entry after it reached the ASSURED state and that way it's SYN-flood resistant.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure not to assign a helper for a different network or transport layer protocol to a connection. Additionally change expectation deletion by helper to compare the name directly - there might be multiple helper registrations using the same name, currently one of them is chosen in an unpredictable manner and only those expectations are removed.

* netfilter: conntrack: optional reliable conntrack event deliveryPablo Neira Ayuso2009-06-131-5/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch improves ctnetlink event reliability if one broadcast listener has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option. The logic is the following: if an event delivery fails, we keep the undelivered events in the missed event cache. Once the next packet arrives, we add the new events (if any) to the missed events in the cache and we try a new delivery, and so on. Thus, if ctnetlink fails to deliver an event, we try to deliver them once we see a new packet. Therefore, we may lose state transitions but the userspace process gets in sync at some point. At worst case, if no events were delivered to userspace, we make sure that destroy events are successfully delivered. Basically, if ctnetlink fails to deliver the destroy event, we remove the conntrack entry from the hashes and we insert them in the dying list, which contains inactive entries. Then, the conntrack timer is added with an extra grace timeout of random32() % 15 seconds to trigger the event again (this grace timeout is tunable via /proc). The use of a limited random timeout value allows distributing the "destroy" resends, thus, avoiding accumulating lots "destroy" events at the same time. Event delivery may re-order but we can identify them by means of the tuple plus the conntrack ID. The maximum number of conntrack entries (active or inactive) is still handled by nf_conntrack_max. Thus, we may start dropping packets at some point if we accumulate a lot of inactive conntrack entries that did not successfully report the destroy event to userspace. During my stress tests consisting of setting a very small buffer of 2048 bytes for conntrackd and the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag, and generating lots of very small connections, I noticed very few destroy entries on the fly waiting to be resend. A simple way to test this patch consist of creating a lot of entries, set a very small Netlink buffer in conntrackd (+ a patch which is not in the git tree to set the BROADCAST_ERROR flag) and invoke `conntrack -F'. For expectations, no changes are introduced in this patch. Currently, event delivery is only done for new expectations (no events from expectation expiration, removal and confirmation). In that case, they need a per-expectation event cache to implement the same idea that is exposed in this patch. This patch can be useful to provide reliable flow-accouting. We still have to add a new conntrack extension to store the creation and destroy time. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
* netfilter: conntrack: move event caching to conntrack extension infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso2009-06-131-24/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reworks the per-cpu event caching to use the conntrack extension infrastructure. The main drawback is that we consume more memory per conntrack if event delivery is enabled. This patch is required by the reliable event delivery that follows to this patch. BTW, this patch allows you to enable/disable event delivery via /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_events in runtime, although you can still disable event caching as compilation option.

* netfilter: conntrack: replace notify chain by function pointerPablo Neira Ayuso2009-06-031-22/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the notify chain infrastructure and replace it by a simple function pointer. This issue has been mentioned in the mailing list several times: the use of the notify chain adds too much overhead for something that is only used by ctnetlink. This patch also changes nfnetlink_send(). It seems that gfp_any() returns GFP_KERNEL for user-context request, like those via ctnetlink, inside the RCU read-side section which is not valid. Using GFP_KERNEL is also evil since netlink may schedule(), this leads to "scheduling while atomic" bug reports. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netfilter: conntrack: simplify event caching systemPablo Neira Ayuso2009-06-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch simplifies the conntrack event caching system by removing several events: * IPCT_[*]_VOLATILE, IPCT_HELPINFO and IPCT_NATINFO has been deleted since the have no clients. * IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING which is a leftover of the 32-bits counter days. * IPCT_REFRESH which is not of any use since we always include the timeout in the messages. After this patch, the existing events are: * IPCT_NEW, IPCT_RELATED and IPCT_DESTROY, that are used to identify addition and deletion of entries. * IPCT_STATUS, that notes that the status bits have changes, eg. IPS_SEEN_REPLY and IPS_ASSURED. * IPCT_PROTOINFO, that reports that internal protocol information has changed, eg. the TCP, DCCP and SCTP protocol state. * IPCT_HELPER, that a helper has been assigned or unassigned to this entry. * IPCT_MARK and IPCT_SECMARK, that reports that the mark has changed, this covers the case when a mark is set to zero. * IPCT_NATSEQADJ, to report that there's updates in the NAT sequence adjustment.
