4d3a57f23d netfilter: conntrack: do not enable connection tracking unless needed
Discussion during NFWS 2017 in Faro has shown that the current
conntrack behaviour is unreasonable.

Even if conntrack module is loaded on behalf of a single net namespace,
its turned on for all namespaces, which is expensive.  Commit
481fa37347 ("netfilter: conntrack: add nf_conntrack_default_on sysctl")
attempted to provide an alternative to the 'default on' behaviour by
adding a sysctl to change it.

However, as Eric points out, the sysctl only becomes available
once the module is loaded, and then its too late.

So we either have to move the sysctl to the core, or, alternatively,
change conntrack to become active only once the rule set requires this.

This does the latter, conntrack is only enabled when a rule needs it.

7b4fdf77a4 netfilter: don't track fragmented packets
Andrey reports syzkaller splat caused by

NF_CT_ASSERT(!ip_is_fragment(ip_hdr(skb)));

in ipv4 nat.  But this assertion (and the comment) are wrong, this function
does see fragments when IP_NODEFRAG setsockopt is used.

As conntrack doesn't track packets without complete l4 header, only the
first fragment is tracked.

Because applying nat to first packet but not the rest makes no sense this
also turns off tracking of all fragments.

5b5e0928f7 lib/vsprintf.c: remove %Z support
Now that %z is standartised in C99 there is no reason to support %Z.
Unlike %L it doesn't even make format strings smaller.

Use BUILD_BUG_ON in a couple ATM drivers.

In case anyone didn't notice lib/vsprintf.o is about half of SLUB which
is in my opinion is quite an achievement.  Hopefully this patch inspires
someone else to trim vsprintf.c more.

834184b1f3 netfilter: defrag: only register defrag functionality if needed
nf_defrag modules for ipv4 and ipv6 export an empty stub function.
Any module that needs the defragmentation hooks registered simply 'calls'
this empty function to create a phony module dependency -- modprobe will
then load the defrag module too.

This extends netfilter ipv4/ipv6 defragmentation modules to delay the hook
registration until the functionality is requested within a network namespace
instead of module load time for all namespaces.

Hooks are only un-registered on module unload or when a namespace that used
such defrag functionality exits.

We have to use struct net for this as the register hooks can be called
before netns initialization here from the ipv4/ipv6 conntrack module
init path.

There is no unregister functionality support, defrag will always be
active once it was requested inside a net namespace.

The reason is that defrag has impact on nft and iptables rulesets
(without defrag we might see framents).

0c66dc1ea3 netfilter: conntrack: register hooks in netns when needed by ruleset
This makes use of nf_ct_netns_get/put added in previous patch.
We add get/put functions to nf_conntrack_l3proto structure, ipv4 and ipv6
then implement use-count to track how many users (nft or xtables modules)
have a dependency on ipv4 and/or ipv6 connection tracking functionality.

When count reaches zero, the hooks are unregistered.

This delays activation of connection tracking inside a namespace until
stateful firewall rule or nat rule gets added.

This patch breaks backwards compatibility in the sense that connection
tracking won't be active anymore when the protocol tracker module is
loaded.  This breaks e.g. setups that ctnetlink for flow accounting and
the like, without any '-m conntrack' packet filter rules.

Followup patch restores old behavour and makes new delayed scheme
optional via sysctl.

0e54d2179f netfilter: conntrack: simplify init/uninit of L4 protocol trackers
modify registration and deregistration of layer-4 protocol trackers to
facilitate inclusion of new elements into the current list of builtin
protocols. Both builtin (TCP, UDP, ICMP) and non-builtin (DCCP, GRE, SCTP,
UDPlite) layer-4 protocol trackers usually register/deregister themselves
using consecutive calls to nf_ct_l4proto_{,pernet}_{,un}register(...).
This sequence is interrupted and rolled back in case of error; in order to
simplify addition of builtin protocols, the input of the above functions
has been modified to allow registering/unregistering multiple protocols.

adf0516845 netfilter: remove ip_conntrack* sysctl compat code
This backward compatibility has been around for more than ten years,
since Yasuyuki Kozakai introduced IPv6 in conntrack. These days, we have
alternate /proc/net/nf_conntrack* entries, the ctnetlink interface and
the conntrack utility got adopted by many people in the user community
according to what I observed on the netfilter user mailing list.

So let's get rid of this.

Note that nf_conntrack_htable_size and unsigned int nf_conntrack_max do
not need to be exported as symbol anymore.

will be spread across the table.

Assuming 64k bucket size, this change saves 0.5 mbyte per namespace on a

NAT bysrc and expectation hash is still per namespace, those will
changed too soon.

Future patch will also make conntrack object slab cache global again.

in case that happens:

However, depending on the helper, there are different reasons why a

This patch modifies the existing code to provide more specific
error message in the scope of each helper to help users to debug
the reason why the packet has been dropped, ie:

For mangling IPv6 packets the protocol header offset needs to be known
by the NAT packet mangling functions. Add a so far unused protoff argument
and convert the conntrack and NAT helpers to use it in preparation of
IPv6 NAT.

12f7a50533 netfilter: add user-space connection tracking helper infrastructure
There are good reasons to supports helpers in user-space instead:

* Rapid connection tracking helper development, as developing code
  in user-space is usually faster.

* Reliability: A buggy helper does not crash the kernel. Moreover,
  we can monitor the helper process and restart it in case of problems.

* Security: Avoid complex string matching and mangling in kernel-space
  running in privileged mode. Going further, we can even think about
  running user-space helpers as a non-root process.

* Extensibility: It allows the development of very specific helpers (most
  likely non-standard proprietary protocols) that are very likely not to be
  accepted for mainline inclusion in the form of kernel-space connection
  tracking helpers.

This patch adds the infrastructure to allow the implementation of
user-space conntrack helpers by means of the new nfnetlink subsystem
`nfnetlink_cthelper' and the existing queueing infrastructure
(nfnetlink_queue).

I had to add the new hook NF_IP6_PRI_CONNTRACK_HELPER to register
ipv[4|6]_helper which results from splitting ipv[4|6]_confirm into
two pieces. This change is required not to break NAT sequence
adjustment and conntrack confirmation for traffic that is enqueued
to our user-space conntrack helpers.

Basic operation, in a few steps:

1) Register user-space helper by means of `nfct':

 nfct helper add ftp inet tcp

 [ It must be a valid existing helper supported by conntrack-tools ]

2) Add rules to enable the FTP user-space helper which is
   used to track traffic going to TCP port 21.

For locally generated packets:

 iptables -I OUTPUT -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp

For non-locally generated packets:

 iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp

3) Run the test conntrackd in helper mode (see example files under
   doc/helper/conntrackd.conf

 conntrackd

4) Generate FTP traffic going, if everything is OK, then conntrackd
   should create expectations (you can check that with `conntrack':

 conntrack -E expect

    [NEW] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp
[DESTROY] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp

This confirms that our test helper is receiving packets including the
conntrack information, and adding expectations in kernel-space.

The user-space helper can also store its private tracking information
in the conntrack structure in the kernel via the CTA_HELP_INFO. The
kernel will consider this a binary blob whose layout is unknown. This
information will be included in the information that is transfered
to user-space via glue code that integrates nfnetlink_queue and
ctnetlink.

524a53e5ad netfilter: nf_conntrack: prepare namespace support for l3 protocol trackers
This patch prepares the namespace support for layer 3 protocol trackers.
Basically, this modifies the following interfaces:

* nf_ct_l3proto_[un]register_sysctl.
* nf_conntrack_l3proto_[un]register.

We add a new nf_ct_l3proto_net is used to get the pernet data of l3proto.

This adds rhe new struct nf_ip_net that is used to store the sysctl header
and l3proto_ipv4,l4proto_tcp(6),l4proto_udp(6),l4proto_icmp(v6) because the
protos such tcp and tcp6 use the same data,so making nf_ip_net as a field
of netns_ct is the easiest way to manager it.

This patch also adds init_net to struct nf_conntrack_l3proto to initial
the layer 3 protocol pernet data.

2c352f444c netfilter: nf_conntrack: prepare namespace support for l4 protocol trackers
This patch prepares the namespace support for layer 4 protocol trackers.
Basically, this modifies the following interfaces:

* nf_ct_[un]register_sysctl
* nf_conntrack_l4proto_[un]register

to include the namespace parameter. We still use init_net in this patch
to prepare the ground for follow-up patches for each layer 4 protocol
tracker.

We add a new net_id field to struct nf_conntrack_l4proto that is used
to store the pernet_operations id for each layer 4 protocol tracker.

Note that AF_INET6's protocols do not need to do sysctl compat. Thus,
we only register compat sysctl when l4proto.l3proto != AF_INET6.

07153c6ec0 netfilter: nf_ct_ipv4: packets with wrong ihl are invalid
It was reported that the Linux kernel sometimes logs:

klogd: [2629147.402413] kernel BUG at net / netfilter /
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c: 447!
klogd: [1072212.887368] kernel BUG at net / netfilter /
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c: 392

ipv4_get_l4proto() in nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4.c and tcp_error() in
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c should catch malformed packets, so the errors
at the indicated lines - TCP options parsing - should not happen.
However, tcp_error() relies on the "dataoff" offset to the TCP header,
calculated by ipv4_get_l4proto().  But ipv4_get_l4proto() does not check
bogus ihl values in IPv4 packets, which then can slip through tcp_error()
and get caught at the TCP options parsing routines.

The patch fixes ipv4_get_l4proto() by invalidating packets with bogus
ihl value.

The patch closes netfilter bugzilla id 771.

42c1edd345 netfilter: nf_nat: avoid double seq_adjust for loopback
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.
