Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== nftables updates for net-next The following patchset contains nftables updates for your net-next tree, they are: * Add set operation to the meta expression by means of the select_ops() infrastructure, this allows us to set the packet mark among other things. From Arturo Borrero Gonzalez. * Fix wrong format in sscanf in nf_tables_set_alloc_name(), from Daniel Borkmann. * Add new queue expression to nf_tables. These comes with two previous patches to prepare this new feature, one to add mask in nf_tables_core to evaluate the queue verdict appropriately and another to refactor common code with xt_NFQUEUE, from Eric Leblond. * Do not hide nftables from Kconfig if nfnetlink is not enabled, also from Eric Leblond. * Add the reject expression to nf_tables, this adds the missing TCP RST support. It comes with an initial patch to refactor common code with xt_NFQUEUE, again from Eric Leblond. * Remove an unused variable assignment in nf_tables_dump_set(), from Michal Nazarewicz. * Remove the nft_meta_target code, now that Arturo added the set operation to the meta expression, from me. * Add help information for nf_tables to Kconfig, also from me. * Allow to dump all sets by specifying NFPROTO_UNSPEC, similar feature is available to other nf_tables objects, requested by Arturo, from me. * Expose the table usage counter, so we can know how many chains are using this table without dumping the list of chains, from Tomasz Bursztyka. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netfilter: REJECT: separate reusable code

2013-12-30T14:04:41Z

This patch prepares the addition of TCP reset support in the nft_reject module by moving reusable code into a header file. Signed-off-by: Eric Leblond Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs

2013-11-11T05:19:35Z

Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following example: On HOSTA do: ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT and on HOSTB you do: ping6 HOSTA -s2000 (MTU is 1500) Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen) As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed. Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.

netfilter: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-23T20:29:42Z

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

netfilter: fix compilation when conntrack is disabled but tproxy is enabled

2011-01-12T19:25:08Z

The IPv6 tproxy patches split IPv6 defragmentation off of conntrack, but failed to update the #ifdef stanzas guarding the defragmentation related fields and code in skbuff and conntrack related code in nf_defrag_ipv6.c. This patch adds the required #ifdefs so that IPv6 tproxy can truly be used without connection tracking.

tproxy: split off ipv6 defragmentation to a separate module

2010-10-21T14:03:43Z

Like with IPv4, TProxy needs IPv6 defragmentation but does not require connection tracking. Since defragmentation was coupled with conntrack, I split off the two, creating an nf_defrag_ipv6 module, similar to the already existing nf_defrag_ipv4.

ipv6: reassembly: use seperate reassembly queues for conntrack and local delivery

2009-12-15T15:59:18Z

Currently the same reassembly queue might be used for packets reassembled by conntrack in different positions in the stack (PREROUTING/LOCAL_OUT), as well as local delivery. This can cause "packet jumps" when the fragment completing a reassembled packet is queued from a different position in the stack than the previous ones. Add a "user" identifier to the reassembly queue key to seperate the queues of each caller, similar to what we do for IPv4. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

netfilter: nf_ct_icmp: keep the ICMP ct entries longer

2009-06-08T13:53:43Z

Current conntrack code kills the ICMP conntrack entry as soon as the first reply is received. This is incorrect, as we then see only the first ICMP echo reply out of several possible duplicates as ESTABLISHED, while the rest will be INVALID. Also this unnecessarily increases the conntrackd traffic on H-A firewalls. Make all the ICMP conntrack entries (including the replied ones) last for the default of nf_conntrack_icmp{,v6}_timeout seconds. Signed-off-by: Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

[NETNS][FRAGS]: Move ctl tables around.

2008-01-28T23:10:34Z

This is a preparation for sysctl netns-ization. Move the ctl tables to the files, where the tuning variables reside. Plus make the helpers to register the tables. This will simplify the later patches and will keep similar things closer to each other. ipv4, ipv6 and conntrack_reasm are patched differently, but the result is all the tables are in appropriate files.

[INET]: Collect common frag sysctl variables together

2007-10-15T19:26:40Z

Some sysctl variables are used to tune the frag queues management and it will be useful to work with them in a common way in the future, so move them into one structure, moreover they are the same for all the frag management codes. I don't place them in the existing inet_frags object, introduced in the previous patch for two reasons: 1. to keep them in the __read_mostly section; 2. not to export the whole inet_frags objects outside.
