2018-01-08netfilter: move route indirection to struct nf_ipv6_opsPablo Neira Ayuso1-4/+1
We cannot make a direct call to nf_ip6_route() because that would result in autoloading the 'ipv6' module because of symbol dependencies. Therefore, define route indirection in nf_ipv6_ops where this really belongs to. For IPv4, we can indeed make a direct function call, which is faster, given IPv4 is built-in in the networking code by default. Still, CONFIG_INET=n and CONFIG_NETFILTER=y is possible, so define empty inline stub for IPv4 in such case. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2017-07-24netfilter: Remove duplicated rcu_read_lock.Taehee Yoo1-2/+0
This patch removes duplicate rcu_read_lock(). 1. IPVS part: According to Julian Anastasov's mention, contexts of ipvs are described at: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=149562884514072&w=2, in summary: - packet RX/TX: does not need locks because packets come from hooks. - sync msg RX: backup server uses RCU locks while registering new connections. - ip_vs_ctl.c: configuration get/set, RCU locks needed. - xt_ipvs.c: It is a netfilter match, running from hook context. As result, rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock can be removed from: - ip_vs_core.c: all - ip_vs_ctl.c: - only from ip_vs_has_real_service - ip_vs_ftp.c: all - ip_vs_proto_sctp.c: all - ip_vs_proto_tcp.c: all - ip_vs_proto_udp.c: all - ip_vs_xmit.c: all (contains only packet processing) 2. Netfilter part: There are three types of functions that are guaranteed the rcu_read_lock(). First, as result, functions are only called by nf_hook(): - nf_conntrack_broadcast_help(), pptp_expectfn(), set_expected_rtp_rtcp(). - tcpmss_reverse_mtu(), tproxy_laddr4(), tproxy_laddr6(). - match_lookup_rt6(), check_hlist(), hashlimit_mt_common(). - xt_osf_match_packet(). Second, functions that caller already held the rcu_read_lock(). - destroy_conntrack(), ctnetlink_conntrack_event(). - ctnl_timeout_find_get(), nfqnl_nf_hook_drop(). Third, functions that are mixed with type1 and type2. These functions are called by nf_hook() also these are called by ordinary functions that already held the rcu_read_lock(): - __ctnetlink_glue_build(), ctnetlink_expect_event(). - ctnetlink_proto_size(). Applied files are below: - nf_conntrack_broadcast.c, nf_conntrack_core.c, nf_conntrack_netlink.c. - nf_conntrack_pptp.c, nf_conntrack_sip.c, nfnetlink_cttimeout.c. - nfnetlink_queue.c, xt_TCPMSS.c, xt_TPROXY.c, xt_addrtype.c. - xt_connlimit.c, xt_hashlimit.c, xt_osf.c Detailed calltrace can be found at: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=149667610710350&w=2 Signed-off-by: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@gmail.com> Acked-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

2016-09-24netfilter: xt_TCPMSS: Refactor the codes to decrease one condition check and more readableGao Feng1-8/+4
The origin codes perform two condition checks with dst_mtu(skb_dst(skb)) and in_mtu. And the last statement is "min(dst_mtu(skb_dst(skb)), in_mtu) - minlen". It may let reader think about how about the result. Would it be negative. Now assign the result of min(dst_mtu(skb_dst(skb)), in_mtu) to a new variable, then only perform one condition check, and it is more readable.

2015-05-15netfilter: x_tables: add context to know if extension runs from nft_compatPablo Neira Ayuso1-0/+6
Currently, we have four xtables extensions that cannot be used from the xt over nft compat layer. The problem is that they need real access to the full blown xt_entry to validate that the rule comes with the right dependencies. This check was introduced to overcome the lack of sufficient userspace dependency validation in iptables. To resolve this problem, this patch introduces a new field to the xt_tgchk_param structure that tell us if the extension is run from nft_compat context. The three affected extensions are: 1) CLUSTERIP, this target has been superseded by xt_cluster. So just bail out by returning -EINVAL. 2) TCPMSS. Relax the checking when used from nft_compat. If used with the wrong configuration, it will corrupt !syn packets by adding TCP MSS option. 3) ebt_stp. Relax the check to make sure it uses the reserved destination MAC address for STP.

ipv6 fib lookup can set RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE flag to restrict search to an interface, but this flag cannot be set via struct flowi. Also, it cannot be set via ip6_route_output: this function uses the passed sock struct to determine if this flag is required (by testing for nonzero sk_bound_dev_if). Work around this by passing in an artificial struct sk in case 'strict' argument is true. This is required to replace the rt6_lookup call in xt_addrtype.c with nf_afinfo->route().

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.hTejun Heo1-0/+1
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2008-01-28[NETFILTER]: xt_TCPMSS: don't allow netfilter --setmss to increase mssBenjamin LaHaise1-2/+5
When terminating DSL connections for an assortment of random customers, I've found it necessary to use iptables to clamp the MSS used for connections to work around the various ICMP blackholes in the greater net. Unfortunately, the current behaviour in Linux is imperfect and actually make things worse, so I'm proposing the following: increasing the MSS in a packet can never be a good thing, so make --set-mss only lower the MSS in a packet. Yes, I am aware of --clamp-mss-to-pmtu, but it doesn't work for outgoing connections from clients (ie web traffic), as it only looks at the PMTU on the destination route, not the source of the packet (the DSL interfaces in question have a 1442 byte MTU while the destination ethernet interface is 1500 -- there are problematic hosts which use a 1300 byte MTU). Reworking that is probably a good idea at some point, but it's more work than this is.
