After removal of the central spinlock nf_conntrack_lock, in
commit 93bb0ceb75 ("netfilter: conntrack: remove central
spinlock nf_conntrack_lock"), it is possible to race against
get_next_corpse().
The race is against the get_next_corpse() cleanup on
the "unconfirmed" list (a per-cpu list with seperate locking),
which set the DYING bit.
Fix this race, in __nf_conntrack_confirm(), by removing the CT
from unconfirmed list before checking the DYING bit. In case
race occured, re-add the CT to the dying list.
While at this, fix coding style of the comment that has been

The existing xtables matches and targets, when used from nft_compat, may
sleep from the destroy path, ie. when removing rules. Since the objects
are released via call_rcu from softirq context, this results in lockdep
splats and possible lockups that may be hard to reproduce.
Patrick also indicated that delayed object release via call_rcu can
cause us problems in the ordering of event notifications when anonymous
sets are in place.
So, this patch restores the synchronous object release from the commit
and abort paths. This includes a call to synchronize_rcu() to make sure
that no packets are walking on the objects that are going to be
released. This is slowier though, but it's simple and it resolves the
aforementioned problems.
This is a partial revert of c7c32e7 ("netfilter: nf_tables: defer all
object release via rcu") that was introduced in 3.16 to speed up

When a port that was used to listen for inbound connections gets closed
and reused for outgoing connections (like rsh ends up doing for stderr
flow), current we may reject the SYN/ACK packet for the new connection
because tcp_conntracks states forbirds a port to become a client while
there is still a TIME_WAIT entry in there for it.
As TCP may expire the TIME_WAIT socket in 60s and conntrack's timeout
for it is 120s, there is a ~60s window that the application can end up
opening a port that conntrack will end up blocking.
This patch fixes this by simply allowing such state transition: if we
see a SYN, in TIME_WAIT state, on REPLY direction, move it to sSS. Note
that the rest of the code already handles this situation, more
specificly in tcp_packet(), first switch clause.

This adds the missing validation code to avoid the use of nat/masq from

scenarios:
1) Use of nat from base chain that is not of nat type. Reject this
configuration from the nft_*_init() path of the expression.
2) Use of nat from non-base chain. In this case, we have to wait until
the non-base chain is referenced by at least one base chain via
jump/goto. This is resolved from the nft_*_validate() path which is
called from nf_tables_check_loops().

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Most notable changes in here:
1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is
the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
several individuals.
Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.
skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.
There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
software is now done with no locks held.
Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
be used to test a multi-send implementation.
Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
virtio_net
Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
support this optimization soon.
I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal

4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
Florian Fainelli.
5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the
necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().

Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next
The following patchset contains another batch with Netfilter/IPVS updates
for net-next, they are:
1) Add abstracted ICMP codes to the nf_tables reject expression. We
introduce four reasons to reject using ICMP that overlap in IPv4
and IPv6 from the semantic point of view. This should simplify the
maintainance of dual stack rule-sets through the inet table.
2) Move nf_send_reset() functions from header files to per-family
nf_reject modules, suggested by Patrick McHardy.
3) We have to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER) everywhere in the
code now that br_netfilter can be modularized. Convert remaining spots
in the network stack code.
4) Use rcu_barrier() in the nf_tables module removal path to ensure that
we don't leave object that are still pending to be released via
call_rcu (that may likely result in a crash).
5) Remove incomplete arch 32/64 compat from nft_compat. The original (bad)
idea was to probe the word size based on the xtables match/target info
size, but this assumption is wrong when you have to dump the information
back to userspace.
6) Allow to filter from prerouting and postrouting in the nf_tables bridge.
In order to emulate the ebtables NAT chains (which are actually simple
filter chains with no special semantics), we have support filtering from
this hooks too.
7) Add explicit module dependency between xt_physdev and br_netfilter.
This provides a way to detect if the user needs br_netfilter from
the configuration path. This should reduce the breakage of the
br_netfilter modularization.

You can use physdev to match the physical interface enslaved to the
bridge device. This information is stored in skb->nf_bridge and it is
set up by br_netfilter. So, this is only available when iptables is
used from the bridge netfilter path.
Since 34666d4 ("netfilter: bridge: move br_netfilter out of the core"),
the br_netfilter code is modular. To reduce the impact of this change,
we can autoload the br_netfilter if the physdev match is used since

This code was based on the wrong asumption that you can probe based
on the match/target private size that we get from userspace. This
doesn't work at all when you have to dump the info back to userspace
since you don't know what word size the userspace utility is using.
Currently, the extensions that require arch compat are limit match
and the ebt_mark match/target. The standard targets are not used by
the nft-xt compat layer, so they are not affected. We can work around
this limitation with a new revision that uses arch agnostic types.

* NFT_REJECT_ICMPX_PORT_UNREACH: port unreachable
* NFT_REJECT_ICMPX_HOST_UNREACH: host unreachable
* NFT_REJECT_ICMPX_ADMIN_PROHIBITED: administratevely prohibited
You can still use the specific codes when restricting the rule to match
the corresponding layer 3 protocol.
I decided to not overload the existing NFT_REJECT_ICMP_UNREACH to have
different semantics depending on the table family and to allow the user
to specify ICMP family specific codes if they restrict it to the
corresponding family.

the case for most qdiscs in the near future only create percpu

Given following iptables ruleset:
-P FORWARD DROP
-A FORWARD -m sctp --dport 9 -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -p tcp -m conntrack -m state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
One would assume that this allows SCTP on port 9 and TCP on port 80.
Unfortunately, if the SCTP conntrack module is not loaded, this allows
*all* SCTP communication, to pass though, i.e. -p sctp -j ACCEPT,
which we think is a security issue.
This is because on the first SCTP packet on port 9, we create a dummy
"generic l4" conntrack entry without any port information (since
conntrack doesn't know how to extract this information).
All subsequent packets that are unknown will then be in established
state since they will fallback to proto_generic and will match the
'generic' entry.
Our originally proposed version [1] completely disabled generic protocol
tracking, but Jozsef suggests to not track protocols for which a more
suitable helper is available, hence we now mitigate the issue for in
tree known ct protocol helpers only, so that at least NAT and direction
information will still be preserved for others.

This patch exposes the ruleset generation ID in three ways:
1) The new command NFT_MSG_GETGEN that exposes the 32-bits ruleset
generation ID. This ID is incremented in every commit and it
should be large enough to avoid wraparound problems.
2) The less significant 16-bits of the generation ID are exposed through
the nfgenmsg->res_id header field. This allows us to quickly catch
if the ruleset has change between two consecutive list dumps from
different object lists (in this specific case I think the risk of
wraparound is unlikely).
3) Userspace subscribers may receive notifications of new rule-set
generation after every commit. This also provides an alternative
way to monitor the generation ID. If the events are lost, the
userspace process hits a overrun error, so it knows that it is
working with a stale ruleset anyway.
Patrick spotted that rule-set transformations in userspace may take
quite some time. In that case, it annotates the 32-bits generation ID
before fetching the rule-set, then:
1) it compares it to what we obtain after the transformation to
make sure it is not working with a stale rule-set and no wraparound
has ocurred.
2) it subscribes to ruleset notifications, so it can watch for new
generation ID.
This is complementary to the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR approach, which allows
us to detect an interference in the middle one single list dumping.
There is no way to explicitly check that an interference has occurred
between two list dumps from the kernel, since it doesn't know how
many lists the userspace client is actually going to dump.

- The motivation for this is to allow more flexibility in the
choice of IP version offered by both virtual-servers and
real-servers as they no longer need to match: An IPv4 connection from an
end-user may be forwarded to a real-server using IPv6 and vice versa.
- Further work need to be done to support this feature in conjunction
with connection synchronisation. For now such configurations are
not allowed.
- This change includes update to netlink protocol, adding a new
destination address family attribute. And the necessary changes
to plumb this information throughout IPVS.

Pull the common logic for preparing an skb to prepend the header into a
single function and then set fields such that they can be used in either
case (generalize tos and tclass to dscp, hop_limit and ttl to ttl, etc)
