* netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix explicit helper attachment and NATPablo Neira Ayuso2012-05-081-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Explicit helper attachment via the CT target is broken with NAT if non-standard ports are used. This problem was hidden behind the automatic helper assignment routine. Thus, it becomes more noticeable now that we can disable the automatic helper assignment with Eric Leblond's: 9e8ac5a netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allow to disable automatic helper assignment Basically, nf_conntrack_alter_reply asks for looking up the helper up if NAT is enabled. Unfortunately, we don't have the conntrack template at that point anymore. Since we don't want to rely on the automatic helper assignment, we can skip the second look-up and stick to the helper that was attached by iptables. With the CT target, the user is in full control of helper attachment, thus, the policy is to trust what the user explicitly configures via iptables (no automatic magic anymore). Interestingly, this bug was hidden by the automatic helper look-up code. But it can be easily trigger if you attach the helper in a non-standard port, eg. iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp --dport 8888 \ -j CT --helper ftp And you disabled the automatic helper assignment. I added the IPS_HELPER_BIT that allows us to differenciate between a helper that has been explicitly attached and those that have been automatically assigned. I didn't come up with a better solution (having backward compatibility in mind). Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netfilter: revert user-space expectation helper supportPablo Neira Ayuso2012-01-161-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch partially reverts: 3d058d7 netfilter: rework user-space expectation helper support that was applied during the 3.2 development cycle. After this patch, the tree remains just like before patch bc01bef, that initially added the preliminary infrastructure. I decided to partially revert this patch because the approach that I proposed to resolve this problem is broken in NAT setups. Moreover, a new infrastructure will be submitted for the 3.3.x development cycle that resolve the existing issues while providing a neat solution. Since nobody has been seriously using this infrastructure in user-space, the removal of this feature should affect any know FOSS project (to my knowledge).

* netfilter: rework user-space expectation helper supportPablo Neira Ayuso2011-12-231-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This partially reworks bc01befdcf3e40979eb518085a075cbf0aacede0 which added userspace expectation support. This patch removes the nf_ct_userspace_expect_list since now we force to use the new iptables CT target feature to add the helper extension for conntracks that have attached expectations from userspace. A new version of the proof-of-concept code to implement userspace helpers from userspace is available at: http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/userspace-conntrack-helpers/nf-ftp-helper-POC.tar.bz2 This patch also modifies the CT target to allow to set the conntrack's userspace helper status flags. This flag is used to tell the conntrack system to explicitly allocate the helper extension. This helper extension is useful to link the userspace expectations with the master conntrack that is being tracked from one userspace helper. This feature fixes a problem in the current approach of the userspace helper support. Basically, if the master conntrack that has got a userspace expectation vanishes, the expectations point to one invalid memory address. Thus, triggering an oops in the expectation deletion event path. I decided not to add a new revision of the CT target because I only needed to add a new flag for it. I'll document in this issue in the iptables manpage. I have also changed the return value from EINVAL to EOPNOTSUPP if one flag not supported is specified. Thus, in the future adding new features that only require a new flag can be added without a new revision. There is no official code using this in userspace (apart from the proof-of-concept) that uses this infrastructure but there will be some by beginning 2012.

* netfilter: ctnetlink: add support for user-space expectation helpersPablo Neira Ayuso2010-09-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the basic infrastructure to support user-space expectation helpers via ctnetlink and the netfilter queuing infrastructure NFQUEUE. Basically, this patch: * adds NF_CT_EXPECT_USERSPACE flag to identify user-space created expectations. 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).

* netfilter: nf_conntrack: IPS_UNTRACKED bitEric Dumazet2010-06-081-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NOTRACK makes all cpus share a cache line on nf_conntrack_untracked twice per packet. This is bad for performance. __read_mostly annotation is also a bad choice. This patch introduces IPS_UNTRACKED bit so that we can use later a per_cpu untrack structure more easily. A new helper, nf_ct_untracked_get() returns a pointer to nf_conntrack_untracked. Another one, nf_ct_untracked_status_or() is used by nf_nat_init() to add IPS_NAT_DONE_MASK bits to untracked status. nf_ct_is_untracked() prototype is changed to work on a nf_conn pointer.

* netfilter: accounting rework: ct_extend + 64bit counters (v4)Krzysztof Piotr Oledzki2008-07-211-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime. This patch: - reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure, - makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(), - makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n), - makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs, - extends counters from 32bit to 64bit, - renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter, - enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT), - set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT - removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling. If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend. Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables, ip6_tables and arp_tables. 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.

* [NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.Yasuyuki Kozakai2005-11-091-0/+159
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.
