ipvs: handle connections started by real-servers
When using LVS-NAT and SIP persistence-egine over UDP, the following limitations are present with current implementation: 1) To actually have load-balancing based on Call-ID header, you need to use one-packet-scheduling mode. But with one-packet-scheduling the connection is deleted just after packet is forwarded, so SIP responses coming from real-servers do not match any connection and SNAT is not applied. 2) If you do not use "-o" option, IPVS behaves as normal UDP load balancer, so different SIP calls (each one identified by a different Call-ID) coming from the same ip-address/port go to the same real-server. So basically you don’t have load-balancing based on Call-ID as intended. 3) Call-ID is not learned when a new SIP call is started by a real-server (inside-to-outside direction), but only in the outside-to-inside direction. This would be a general problem for all SIP servers acting as Back2BackUserAgent. This patch aims to solve problems 1) and 3) while keeping OPS mode mandatory for SIP-UDP, so that 2) is not a problem anymore. The basic mechanism implemented is to make packets, that do not match any existent connection but come from real-servers, create new connections instead of let them pass without any effect. When such packets pass through ip_vs_out(), if their source ip address and source port match a configured real-server, a new connection is automatically created in the same way as it would have happened if the packet had come from outside-to-inside direction. A new connection template is created too if the virtual-service is persistent and there is no matching connection template found. The new connection automatically created, if the service had "-o" option, is an OPS connection that lasts only the time to forward the packet, just like it happens on the ingress side. The main part of this mechanism is implemented inside a persistent-engine specific callback (at the moment only SIP persistent engine exists) and is triggered only for UDP packets, since connection oriented protocols, by using different set of ports (typically ephemeral ports) to open new outgoing connections, should not need this feature. The following requisites are needed for automatic connection creation; if any is missing the packet simply goes the same way as before. a) virtual-service is not fwmark based (this is because fwmark services do not store address and port of the virtual-service, required to build the connection data). b) virtual-service and real-servers must not have been configured with omitted port (this is again to have all data to create the connection).
