2017-02-02	netfilter: allow logging from non-init namespaces	Michal Kubeček	5	-4/+28
	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	ipvs: free ip_vs_dest structs when refcnt=0	David Windsor	1	-5/+3
	Currently, the ip_vs_dest cache frees ip_vs_dest objects when their reference count becomes < 0. Aside from not being semantically sound, this is problematic for the new type refcount_t, which will be introduced shortly in a separate patch. refcount_t is the new kernel type for holding reference counts, and provides overflow protection and a constrained interface relative to atomic_t (the type currently being used for kernel reference counts). Per Julian Anastasov: "The problem is that dest_trash currently holds deleted dests (unlinked from RCU lists) with refcnt=0." Changing dest_trash to hold dest with refcnt=1 will allow us to free ip_vs_dest structs when their refcnt=0, in ip_vs_dest_put_and_free().

2017-02-02	netfilter: merge ctinfo into nfct pointer storage area	Florian Westphal	5	-9/+13
	After this change conntrack operations (lookup, creation, matching from ruleset) only access one instead of two sk_buff cache lines. This works for normal conntracks because those are allocated from a slab that guarantees hw cacheline or 8byte alignment (whatever is larger) so the 3 bits needed for ctinfo won't overlap with nf_conn addresses. Template allocation now does manual address alignment (see previous change) on arches that don't have sufficent kmalloc min alignment. Some spots intentionally use skb->_nfct instead of skb_nfct() helpers, this is to avoid undoing the skb_nfct() use when we remove untracked conntrack object in the future.

2017-02-02	netfilter: guarantee 8 byte minalign for template addresses	Florian Westphal	1	-5/+24
	The next change will merge skb->nfct pointer and skb->nfctinfo status bits into single skb->_nfct (unsigned long) area. For this to work nf_conn addresses must always be aligned at least on an 8 byte boundary since we will need the lower 3bits to store nfctinfo. Conntrack templates are allocated via kmalloc. kbuild test robot reported BUILD_BUG_ON failed: NFCT_INFOMASK >= ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN on v1 of this patchset, so not all platforms meet this requirement. Do manual alignment if needed, the alignment offset is stored in the nf_conn entry protocol area. This works because templates are not handed off to L4 protocol trackers.

2017-02-02	netfilter: add and use nf_ct_set helper	Florian Westphal	10	-32/+15
	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	13	-25/+25
	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: reduce direct skb->nfct usage	Florian Westphal	1	-6/+9
	Next patch makes direct skb->nfct access illegal, reduce noise in next patch by using accessors we already have. 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	2	-2/+2
	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	7	-19/+15
	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.
