2011-01-18netfilter: allow NFQUEUE bypass if no listener is availableFlorian Westphal1-0/+1
If an skb is to be NF_QUEUE'd, but no program has opened the queue, the packet is dropped. This adds a v2 target revision of xt_NFQUEUE that allows packets to continue through the ruleset instead. Because the actual queueing happens outside of the target context, the 'bypass' flag has to be communicated back to the netfilter core. Unfortunately the only choice to do this without adding a new function argument is to use the target function return value (i.e. the verdict). In the NF_QUEUE case, the upper 16bit already contain the queue number to use. The previous patch reduced NF_VERDICT_MASK to 0xff, i.e. we now have extra room for a new flag. If a hook issued a NF_QUEUE verdict, then the netfilter core will continue packet processing if the queueing hook returns -ESRCH (== "this queue does not exist") and the new NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS flag is set in the verdict value. Note: If the queue exists, but userspace does not consume packets fast enough, the skb will still be dropped.

2011-01-18netfilter: reduce NF_VERDICT_MASK to 0xffFlorian Westphal1-5/+15
NF_VERDICT_MASK is currently 0xffff. This is because the upper 16 bits are used to store errno (for NF_DROP) or the queue number (NF_QUEUE verdict). As there are up to 0xffff different queues available, there is no more room to store additional flags. At the moment there are only 6 different verdicts, i.e. we can reduce NF_VERDICT_MASK to 0xff to allow storing additional flags in the 0xff00 space. NF_VERDICT_BITS would then be reduced to 8, but because the value is exported to userspace, this might cause breakage; e.g.: e.g. 'queuenr = (1 << NF_VERDICT_BITS) | NF_QUEUE' would now break. Thus, remove NF_VERDICT_BITS usage in the kernel and move the old value to the 'userspace compat' section.

2010-11-12netfilter: NF_HOOK_COND has wrong conditionalEric Paris1-1/+1
The NF_HOOK_COND returns 0 when it shouldn't due to what I believe to be an error in the code as the order of operations is not what was intended. C will evalutate == before =. Which means ret is getting set to the bool result, rather than the return value of the function call. The code says if (ret = function() == 1) when it meant to say: if ((ret = function()) == 1) Normally the compiler would warn, but it doesn't notice it because its a actually complex conditional and so the wrong code is wrapped in an explict set of () [exactly what the compiler wants you to do if this was intentional]. Fixing this means that errors when netfilter denies a packet get propagated back up the stack rather than lost. Problem introduced by commit 2249065f (netfilter: get rid of the grossness in netfilter.h).

Move the UDP-Lite conntrack checksum validation to a generic helper similar to nf_checksum() and make it fall back to nf_checksum() in case the full packet is to be checksummed and hardware checksums are available.

2008-04-14[NETFILTER]: ip_tables: per-netns FILTER/MANGLE/RAW tables for realAlexey Dobriyan1-1/+53
Commit 9335f047fe61587ec82ff12fbb1220bcfdd32006 aka "[NETFILTER]: ip_tables: per-netns FILTER, MANGLE, RAW" added per-netns _view_ of iptables rules. They were shown to user, but ignored by filtering code. Now that it's possible to at least ping loopback, per-netns tables can affect filtering decisions. netns is taken in case of PRE_ROUTING, LOCAL_IN -- from in device, POST_ROUTING, LOCAL_OUT -- from out device, FORWARD -- from in device which should be equal to out device's netns. This code is relatively new, so BUG_ON was plugged. Wrappers were added to a) keep code the same from CONFIG_NET_NS=n users (overwhelming majority), b) consolidate code in one place -- similar changes will be done in ipv6 and arp netfilter code.

2008-01-28[NETFILTER]: Use the ctl paths instead of hand-made analoguePavel Emelyanov1-6/+2
The conntracks subsystem has a similar infrastructure to maintain ctl_paths, but since we already have it on the generic level, I think it's OK to switch to using it. So, basically, this patch just replaces the ctl_table-s with ctl_path-s, nf_register_sysctl_table with register_sysctl_paths() and removes no longer needed code. After this the net/netfilter/nf_sysctl.c file contains the paths only. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Acked-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-09-11[NETFILTER]: Fix/improve deadlock condition on module removal netfilterNeil Horman1-3/+2
So I've had a deadlock reported to me. I've found that the sequence of events goes like this: 1) process A (modprobe) runs to remove ip_tables.ko 2) process B (iptables-restore) runs and calls setsockopt on a netfilter socket, increasing the ip_tables socket_ops use count 3) process A acquires a file lock on the file ip_tables.ko, calls remove_module in the kernel, which in turn executes the ip_tables module cleanup routine, which calls nf_unregister_sockopt 4) nf_unregister_sockopt, seeing that the use count is non-zero, puts the calling process into uninterruptible sleep, expecting the process using the socket option code to wake it up when it exits the kernel 4) the user of the socket option code (process B) in do_ipt_get_ctl, calls ipt_find_table_lock, which in this case calls request_module to load ip_tables_nat.ko 5) request_module forks a copy of modprobe (process C) to load the module and blocks until modprobe exits. 6) Process C. forked by request_module process the dependencies of ip_tables_nat.ko, of which ip_tables.ko is one. 7) Process C attempts to lock the request module and all its dependencies, it blocks when it attempts to lock ip_tables.ko (which was previously locked in step 3) Theres not really any great permanent solution to this that I can see, but I've developed a two part solution that corrects the problem Part 1) Modifies the nf_sockopt registration code so that, instead of using a use counter internal to the nf_sockopt_ops structure, we instead use a pointer to the registering modules owner to do module reference counting when nf_sockopt calls a modules set/get routine. This prevents the deadlock by preventing set 4 from happening. Part 2) Enhances the modprobe utilty so that by default it preforms non-blocking remove operations (the same way rmmod does), and add an option to explicity request blocking operation. So if you select blocking operation in modprobe you can still cause the above deadlock, but only if you explicity try (and since root can do any old stupid thing it would like.... :) ).
