Another spin of Herbert Xu's "safer ip reassembly" patch
for 2.6.16.
(The original patch is here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112281936522415&w=2
and my only contribution is to have tested it.)
This patch (optionally) does additional checks before accepting IP
fragments, which can greatly reduce the possibility of reassembling
fragments which originated from different IP datagrams.

Part of a performance problem with ip_tables is that memory allocation
is not NUMA aware, but 'only' SMP aware (ie each CPU normally touch
separate cache lines)
Even with small iptables rules, the cost of this misplacement can be
high on common workloads. Instead of using one vmalloc() area
(located in the node of the iptables process), we now allocate an area
for each possible CPU, using vmalloc_node() so that memory should be
allocated in the CPU's node if possible.

This patch series implements per packet access control via the
extension of the Linux Security Modules (LSM) interface by hooks in
the XFRM and pfkey subsystems that leverage IPSec security
associations to label packets. Extensions to the SELinux LSM are
included that leverage the patch for this purpose.
This patch implements the changes necessary to the XFRM subsystem,
pfkey interface, ipv4/ipv6, and xfrm_user interface to restrict a
socket to use only authorized security associations (or no security
association) to send/receive network packets.
Patch purpose:
The patch is designed to enable access control per packets based on
the strongly authenticated IPSec security association. Such access
controls augment the existing ones based on network interface and IP
address. The former are very coarse-grained, and the latter can be
spoofed. By using IPSec, the system can control access to remote
hosts based on cryptographic keys generated using the IPSec mechanism.
This enables access control on a per-machine basis or per-application
if the remote machine is running the same mechanism and trusted to
enforce the access control policy.
Patch design approach:
The overall approach is that policy (xfrm_policy) entries set by
user-level programs (e.g., setkey for ipsec-tools) are extended with a
security context that is used at policy selection time in the XFRM
subsystem to restrict the sockets that can send/receive packets via
security associations (xfrm_states) that are built from those
policies.
A presentation available at
www.selinux-symposium.org/2005/presentations/session2/2-3-jaeger.pdf
from the SELinux symposium describes the overall approach.
Patch implementation details:
On output, the policy retrieved (via xfrm_policy_lookup or
xfrm_sk_policy_lookup) must be authorized for the security context of
the socket and the same security context is required for resultant
security association (retrieved or negotiated via racoon in
ipsec-tools). This is enforced in xfrm_state_find.
On input, the policy retrieved must also be authorized for the socket
(at __xfrm_policy_check), and the security context of the policy must
also match the security association being used.
The patch has virtually no impact on packets that do not use IPSec.
The existing Netfilter (outgoing) and LSM rcv_skb hooks are used as
before.
Also, if IPSec is used without security contexts, the impact is
minimal. The LSM must allow such policies to be selected for the
combination of socket and remote machine, but subsequent IPSec
processing proceeds as in the original case.
Testing:
The pfkey interface is tested using the ipsec-tools. ipsec-tools have
been modified (a separate ipsec-tools patch is available for version
0.5) that supports assignment of xfrm_policy entries and security
associations with security contexts via setkey and the negotiation
using the security contexts via racoon.
The xfrm_user interface is tested via ad hoc programs that set
security contexts. These programs are also available from me, and
contain programs for setting, getting, and deleting policy for testing
this interface. Testing of sa functions was done by tracing kernel
behavior.

The below "jumbo" patch fixes the following problems in MLDv2.
1) Add necessary "ntohs" to recent "pskb_may_pull" check [breaks
all nonzero source queries on little-endian (!)]
2) Add locking to source filter list [resend of prior patch]
3) fix "mld_marksources()" to
a) send nothing when all queried sources are excluded
b) send full exclude report when source queried sources are
not excluded
c) don't schedule a timer when there's nothing to report
NOTE: RFC 3810 specifies the source list should be saved and each
source reported individually as an IS_IN. This is an obvious DOS
path, requiring the host to store and then multicast as many sources
as are queried (e.g., millions...). This alternative sends a full,
relevant report that's limited to number of sources present on the
machine.
4) fix "add_grec()" to send empty-source records when it should
The original check doesn't account for a non-empty source
list with all sources inactive; the new code keeps that
short-circuit case, and also generates the group header
with an empty list if needed.
5) fix mca_crcount decrement to be after add_grec(), which needs
its original value

The problem is that when new policies are inserted, sockets do not see
the update (but all new route lookups do).
This bug is related to the SA insertion stale route issue solved
recently, and this policy visibility problem can be fixed in a similar
way.
The fix is to flush out the bundles of all policies deeper than the
policy being inserted. Consider beginning state of "outgoing"
direction policy list:
policy A --> policy B --> policy C --> policy D
First, realize that inserting a policy into a list only potentially
changes IPSEC routes for that direction. Therefore we need not bother
considering the policies for other directions. We need only consider
the existing policies in the list we are doing the inserting.
Consider new policy "B'", inserted after B.
policy A --> policy B --> policy B' --> policy C --> policy D
Two rules:
1) If policy A or policy B matched before the insertion, they
appear before B' and thus would still match after inserting
B'
2) Policy C and D, now "shadowed" and after policy B', potentially
contain stale routes because policy B' might be selected
instead of them.
Therefore we only need flush routes assosciated with policies
appearing after a newly inserted policy, if any.

If you add more than one IPv6 address belonging to the same prefix and
delete the address that was last added, routing table entry for that
prefix is also deleted.
Tested on 2.6.14.4
To reproduce:
ip addr add 3ffe::1/64 dev eth0
ip addr add 3ffe::2/64 dev eth0
/* wait DAD */
sleep 1
ip addr del 3ffe::2/64 dev eth0
ip -6 route
(route to 3ffe::/64 should be gone)
In ipv6_del_addr(), if ifa == ifp, we set ifa->if_next to NULL, and later
assign ifap = &ifa->if_next, effectively terminating the for-loop.
This prevents us from checking if there are other addresses using the same
prefix that are valid, and thus resulting in deletion of the prefix.
This applies only if the first entry in idev->addr_list is the address to
be deleted.

when comparing 'now' to 0 (+ --seconds argument), time_before_eq thinks it
has found a hit.
Below patch adds a break if the packet value is zero. This has the
unfortunate side effect of causing mismatches if a packet was received
when jiffies really was equal to zero. The odds of that happening are
slim compared to the problems caused by not adding the break however.

Mounting NFS file systems after a (warm) reboot could take a long time if
firewalling and connection tracking was enabled.
The reason is that the NFS clients tends to use the same ports (800 and
counting down). Now on reboot, the server would still have a TCB for an
existing TCP connection client:800 -> server:2049. The client sends a
SYN from port 800 to server:2049, which elicits an ACK from the server.
The firewall on the client drops the ACK because (from its point of
view) the connection is still in half-open state, and it expects to see
a SYNACK.
The client will eventually time out after several minutes.
The following patch corrects this, by accepting ACKs on half open
connections as well.

The tcp_ehash hash table gets too big on systems with really big memory.
It is worse on systems with pages larger than 4KB. It wastes memory that
could be better used. It also makes the netstat command slow because reading
/proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6 needs to go through the full hash table.
The default value should not be larger for larger page sizes. It seems
that the effect of page size is an unintended error dating back a long
time. I also wonder if the default value really should be a larger
fraction of memory for systems with more memory. While systems with
really big ram can afford more space for hash tables, it is not clear to
me that they benefit from increasing the allocation ratio for this table.
The amount of memory allocated is determined by net/ipv4/tcp.c:tcp_init and
mm/page_alloc.c:alloc_large_system_hash.
tcp_init calls alloc_large_system_hash passing parameters-
bucketsize=sizeof(struct tcp_ehash_bucket)
numentries=thash_entries
scale=(num_physpages >= 128 * 1024) ? (25-PAGE_SHIFT) : (27-PAGE_SHIFT)
limit=0
On i386, PAGE_SHIFT is 12 for a page size of 4K
On ia64, PAGE_SHIFT defaults to 14 for a page size of 16K
The num_physpages test above makes the allocation take a larger fraction
of the total memory on systems with larger memory. The threshold size
for a i386 system is 512MB. For an ia64 system with 16KB pages the
threshold is 2GB.
For smaller memory systems-
On i386, scale = (27 - 12) = 15
On ia64, scale = (27 - 14) = 13
For larger memory systems-
On i386, scale = (25 - 12) = 13
On ia64, scale = (25 - 14) = 11
For the rest of this discussion, I'll just track the larger memory case.
The default behavior has numentries=thash_entries=0, so the allocated
size is determined by either scale or by the default limit of 1/16 of
total memory.
In alloc_large_system_hash-
| numentries = (flags & HASH_HIGHMEM) ? nr_all_pages : nr_kernel_pages;
| numentries += (1UL << (20 - PAGE_SHIFT)) - 1;
| numentries >>= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;
| numentries <<= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;
At this point, numentries is pages for all of memory, rounded up to the
nearest megabyte boundary.
| /* limit to 1 bucket per 2^scale bytes of low memory */
| if (scale > PAGE_SHIFT)
| numentries >>= (scale - PAGE_SHIFT);
| else
| numentries <<= (PAGE_SHIFT - scale);
On i386, numentries >>= (13 - 12), so numentries is 1/8196 of
bytes of total memory.
On ia64, numentries <<= (14 - 11), so numentries is 1/2048 of
bytes of total memory.
| log2qty = long_log2(numentries);
|
| do {
| size = bucketsize << log2qty;
bucketsize is 16, so size is 16 times numentries, rounded
down to a power of two.
On i386, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/128 of bytes of total memory.
For smaller systems the results are
On i386, size is 1/2048 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.
The large page effect can be removed by just replacing
the use of PAGE_SHIFT with a constant of 12 in the calls to
alloc_large_system_hash. That makes them more like the other uses of
that function from fs/inode.c and fs/dcache.c

the new packet is to be sent at the same time of a previous packet, it
would end up before the old packet in the queue. This patch places

This is a patch for discussion addressing some receive buffer growing issues.
This is partially related to the thread "Possible BUG in IPv4 TCP window
handling..." last week.
Specifically it addresses the problem of an interaction between rcvbuf
moderation (receiver autotuning) and rcv_ssthresh. The problem occurs when
sending small packets to a receiver with a larger MTU. (A very common case I
have is a host with a 1500 byte MTU sending to a host with a 9k MTU.) In
such a case, the rcv_ssthresh code is targeting a window size corresponding
to filling up the current rcvbuf, not taking into account that the new rcvbuf
moderation may increase the rcvbuf size.
One hunk makes rcv_ssthresh use tcp_rmem[2] as the size target rather than
rcvbuf. The other changes the behavior when it overflows its memory bounds
with in-order data so that it tries to grow rcvbuf (the same as with
out-of-order data).
These changes should help my problem of mixed MTUs, and should also help the
case from last week's thread I think. (In both cases though you still need
tcp_rmem[2] to be set much larger than the TCP window.) One question is if
this is too aggressive at trying to increase rcvbuf if it's under memory
stress.

The generic netlink family builds on top of netlink and provides
simplifies access for the less demanding netlink users. It solves
the problem of protocol numbers running out by introducing a so
called controller taking care of id management and name resolving.
Generic netlink modules register themself after filling out their
id card (struct genl_family), after successful registration the
modules are able to register callbacks to command numbers by
filling out a struct genl_ops and calling genl_register_op(). The
registered callbacks are invoked with attributes parsed making
life of simple modules a lot easier.
Although generic netlink modules can request static identifiers,
it is recommended to use GENL_ID_GENERATE and to let the controller
assign a unique identifier to the module. Userspace applications
will then ask the controller and lookup the idenfier by the module
name.
Due to the current multicast implementation of netlink, the number
of generic netlink modules is restricted to 1024 to avoid wasting
memory for the per socket multiacst subscription bitmask.

The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only
handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add
connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all
of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the
choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that
could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol
(TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written.
In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3
protocol.
The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal
with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6,
which is also cured here. For example, these issues include:
1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in
ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate
in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP
messages
2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because
the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag"
(which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply
isn't feasible in ipv6
3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots
before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were
no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking
design
4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT
The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of
the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack
and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack
stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will
fully kill it off 6 months later.

Currently connection tracking handles ICMP error like normal packets
if it failed to get related connection. But it fails that after all.
This makes connection tracking stop tracking ICMP error at early point.

Without this patch, any user can cause nfnetlink subsystems to be
autoloaded. Those subsystems however could add significant processing
overhead to packet processing, and would refuse any configuration messages
from non-CAP_NET_ADMIN processes anyway.
This patch follows a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.

The reply tuple of the PNS->PAC expectation was using the wrong call id.
So we had the following situation:
- PNS behind NAT firewall
- PNS call id requires NATing
- PNS->PAC gre packet arrives first
then the PNS->PAC expectation is matched, and the other expectation
is deleted, but the PAC->PNS gre packets do not match the gre conntrack
because the call id is wrong.
We also cannot use ip_nat_follow_master().

->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to
pass down lookup intents. Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't
actually pass this one down. For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct
nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only
used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation. All other
callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the
lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives
the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it. All callers already have
the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem.
At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there
are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage. Before it can
actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

Most permission() calls have a struct nameidata * available. This helper
takes that as an argument and thus makes sure we pass it down for lookup
intents and prepares for per-mount read-only support where we need a struct
vfsmount for checking whether a file is writeable.

When ip_queue_xmit calls ip_select_ident_more for IP identity selection
it gives it the wrong packet count for TSO packets. The ip_select_*
functions expect one less than the number of packets, so we need to
subtract one for TSO packets.

There was a fix in 2.6.13 that changed the behaviour of
ip_vs_conn_expire_now function not to put reference to connection,
its callers should hold write lock or connection refcnt. But we
forgot to convert one caller, when the real server for connection
is unavailable caller should put the connection reference. It
happens only when sysctl var expire_nodest_conn is set to 1 and
such connections never expire. Thanks to Roberto Nibali who found
the problem and tested a 2.4.32-rc2 patch, which is equal to this
2.6 version. Patch for 2.4 is already sent to Marcelo.
