2009-06-25nf_conntrack: Use rcu_barrier()Jesper Dangaard Brouer1-1/+1
RCU barriers, rcu_barrier(), is inserted two places. In nf_conntrack_expect.c nf_conntrack_expect_fini() before the kmem_cache_destroy(). Firstly to make sure the callback to the nf_ct_expect_free_rcu() code is still around. Secondly because I'm unsure about the consequence of having in flight nf_ct_expect_free_rcu/kmem_cache_free() calls while doing a kmem_cache_destroy() slab destroy. And in nf_conntrack_extend.c nf_ct_extend_unregister(), inorder to wait for completion of callbacks to __nf_ct_ext_free_rcu(), which is invoked by __nf_ct_ext_add(). It might be more efficient to call rcu_barrier() in nf_conntrack_core.c nf_conntrack_cleanup_net(), but thats make it more difficult to read the code (as the callback code in located in nf_conntrack_extend.c).

2008-07-26netfilter: nf_conntrack_extend: avoid unnecessary "ct->ext" dereferencesPatrick McHardy1-4/+4
As Linus points out, "ct->ext" and "new" are always equal, avoid unnecessary dereferences and use "new" directly. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-26netfilter: fix double-free and use-after freePekka Enberg1-1/+1
As suggested by Patrick McHardy, introduce a __krealloc() that doesn't free the original buffer to fix a double-free and use-after-free bug introduced by me in netfilter that uses RCU.

2008-06-17netfilter: nf_nat: fix RCU racesPatrick McHardy1-1/+8
Fix three ct_extend/NAT extension related races: - When cleaning up the extension area and removing it from the bysource hash, the nat->ct pointer must not be set to NULL since it may still be used in a RCU read side - When replacing a NAT extension area in the bysource hash, the nat->ct pointer must be assigned before performing the replacement - When reallocating extension storage in ct_extend, the old memory must not be freed immediately since it may still be used by a RCU read side Possibly fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449315 and/or http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10875 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-06-09netfilter: nf_conntrack_extend: use krealloc() in nf_conntrack_extend.c V2Pekka Enberg1-6/+4
The ksize() API is going away because it is being abused and it doesn't even work consistenly across different allocators. Therefore, convert net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_extend.c to use krealloc().

2008-04-14[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_extend: warn on confirmed conntracksPatrick McHardy1-0/+3
New extensions may only be added to unconfirmed conntracks to avoid races when reallocating the storage. Also change NF_CT_ASSERT to use WARN_ON to get backtraces. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2008-03-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: replace horrible hack with ksize()Pekka Enberg1-16/+3
There's a horrible slab abuse in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_extend.c that can be replaced with a call to ksize().

2008-02-07[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: fix ct_extend ->move operationPatrick McHardy1-1/+2
The ->move operation has two bugs: - It is called with the same extension as source and destination, so it doesn't update the new extension. - The address of the old extension is calculated incorrectly, instead of (void *)ct->ext + ct->ext->offset[i] it uses ct->ext + ct->ext->offset[i].

2007-11-15[NETFILTER]: Fix NULL pointer dereference in nf_nat_move_storage()Evgeniy Polyakov1-1/+1
Reported by Chuck Ebbert as: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=259501#c14 This routine is called each time hash should be replaced, nf_conn has extension list which contains pointers to connection tracking users (like nat, which is right now the only such user), so when replace takes place it should copy own extensions. Loop above checks for own extension, but tries to move higer-layer one, which can lead to above oops. Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Polyakov <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-07-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: introduce extension infrastructureYasuyuki Kozakai1-0/+195
Old space allocator of conntrack had problems about extensibility. - It required slab cache per combination of extensions. - It expected what extensions would be assigned, but it was impossible to expect that completely, then we allocated bigger memory object than really required. - It needed to search helper twice due to lock issue. Now basic informations of a connection are stored in 'struct nf_conn'. And a storage for extension (helper, NAT) is allocated by kmalloc.
