	Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree, they are: 1) Stash ctinfo 3-bit field into pointer to nf_conntrack object from sk_buff so we only access one single cacheline in the conntrack hotpath. Patchset from Florian Westphal. 2) Don't leak pointer to internal structures when exporting x_tables ruleset back to userspace, from Willem DeBruijn. This includes new helper functions to copy data to userspace such as xt_data_to_user() as well as conversions of our ip_tables, ip6_tables and arp_tables clients to use it. Not surprinsingly, ebtables requires an ad-hoc update. There is also a new field in x_tables extensions to indicate the amount of bytes that we copy to userspace. 3) Add nf_log_all_netns sysctl: This new knob allows you to enable logging via nf_log infrastructure for all existing netnamespaces. Given the effort to provide pernet syslog has been discontinued, let's provide a way to restore logging using netfilter kernel logging facilities in trusted environments. Patch from Michal Kubecek. 4) Validate SCTP checksum from conntrack helper, from Davide Caratti. 5) Merge UDPlite conntrack and NAT helpers into UDP, this was mostly a copy&paste from the original helper, from Florian Westphal. 6) Reset netfilter state when duplicating packets, also from Florian. 7) Remove unnecessary check for broadcast in IPv6 in pkttype match and nft_meta, from Liping Zhang. 8) Add missing code to deal with loopback packets from nft_meta when used by the netdev family, also from Liping. 9) Several cleanups on nf_tables, one to remove unnecessary check from the netlink control plane path to add table, set and stateful objects and code consolidation when unregister chain hooks, from Gao Feng. 10) Fix harmless reference counter underflow in IPVS that, however, results in problems with the introduction of the new refcount_t type, from David Windsor. 11) Enable LIBCRC32C from nf_ct_sctp instead of nf_nat_sctp, from Davide Caratti. 12) Missing documentation on nf_tables uapi header, from Liping Zhang. 13) Use rb_entry() helper in xt_connlimit, from Geliang Tang. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-02-03	tcp: clear pfmemalloc on outgoing skb	Eric Dumazet	1	-0/+7
	Josef Bacik diagnosed following problem : I was seeing random disconnects while testing NBD over loopback. This turned out to be because NBD sets pfmemalloc on it's socket, however the receiving side is a user space application so does not have pfmemalloc set on its socket. This means that sk_filter_trim_cap will simply drop this packet, under the assumption that the other side will simply retransmit. Well we do retransmit, and then the packet is just dropped again for the same reason. It seems the better way to address this problem is to clear pfmemalloc in the TCP transmit path. pfmemalloc strict control really makes sense on the receive path.

2017-02-02	net: add LINUX_MIB_PFMEMALLOCDROP counter	Eric Dumazet	1	-0/+1
	Debugging issues caused by pfmemalloc is often tedious. Add a new SNMP counter to more easily diagnose these problems. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com> Acked-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2017-02-02	netfilter: allow logging from non-init namespaces	Michal Kubeček	2	-2/+2
	Commit 69b34fb996b2 ("netfilter: xt_LOG: add net namespace support for xt_LOG") disabled logging packets using the LOG target from non-init namespaces. The motivation was to prevent containers from flooding kernel log of the host. The plan was to keep it that way until syslog namespace implementation allows containers to log in a safe way. However, the work on syslog namespace seems to have hit a dead end somewhere in 2013 and there are users who want to use xt_LOG in all network namespaces. This patch allows to do so by setting /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log_all_netns to a nonzero value. This sysctl is only accessible from init_net so that one cannot switch the behaviour from inside a container.

2017-02-02	netfilter: add and use nf_ct_set helper	Florian Westphal	3	-6/+3
	Add a helper to assign a nf_conn entry and the ctinfo bits to an sk_buff. This avoids changing code in followup patch that merges skb->nfct and skb->nfctinfo into skb->_nfct. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2017-02-02	skbuff: add and use skb_nfct helper	Florian Westphal	4	-8/+8
	Followup patch renames skb->nfct and changes its type so add a helper to avoid intrusive rename change later. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2017-02-02	netfilter: reset netfilter state when duplicating packet	Florian Westphal	1	-1/+1
	We should also toss nf_bridge_info, if any -- packet is leaving via ip_local_out, also, this skb isn't bridged -- it is a locally generated copy. Also this avoids the need to touch this later when skb->nfct is replaced with 'unsigned long _nfct' in followup patch.

2017-02-02	netfilter: conntrack: no need to pass ctinfo to error handler	Florian Westphal	1	-6/+6
	It is never accessed for reading and the only places that write to it are the icmp(6) handlers, which also set skb->nfct (and skb->nfctinfo). The conntrack core specifically checks for attached skb->nfct after ->error() invocation and returns early in this case.
