2011-02-01netfilter: ipset: list:set set type supportJozsef Kadlecsik
The module implements the list:set type support in two flavours: without and with timeout. The sets has two sides: for the userspace, they store the names of other (non list:set type of) sets: one can add, delete and test set names. For the kernel, it forms an ordered union of the member sets: the members sets are tried in order when elements are added, deleted and tested and the process stops at the first success.

The module implements the hash:ip,port,net type support in four flavours: for IPv4 and IPv6, both without and with timeout support. The elements are three dimensional: IPv4/IPv6 address, protocol/port and IPv4/IPv6 network address/prefix triples. The different prefixes are searched/matched from the longest prefix to the shortes one (most specific to least). In other words the processing time linearly grows with the number of different prefixes in the set.

2011-02-01netfilter: ipset: hash:ip set type supportJozsef Kadlecsik
The module implements the hash:ip type support in four flavours: for IPv4 or IPv6, both without and with timeout support. All the hash types are based on the "array hash" or ahash structure and functions as a good compromise between minimal memory footprint and speed. The hashing uses arrays to resolve clashes. The hash table is resized (doubled) when searching becomes too long. Resizing can be triggered by userspace add commands only and those are serialized by the nfnl mutex. During resizing the set is read-locked, so the only possible concurrent operations are the kernel side readers. Those are protected by RCU locking. Because of the four flavours and the other hash types, the functions are implemented in general forms in the ip_set_ahash.h header file and the real functions are generated before compiling by macro expansion. Thus the dereferencing of low-level functions and void pointer arguments could be avoided: the low-level functions are inlined, the function arguments are pointers of type-specific structures.

The module implements the bitmap:ip,mac set type in two flavours, without and with timeout support. In this kind of set one can store IPv4 address and (source) MAC address pairs. The type supports elements added without the MAC part filled out: when the first matching from kernel happens, the MAC part is automatically filled out.

The module implements the bitmap:ip set type in two flavours, without and with timeout support. In this kind of set one can store IPv4 addresses (or network addresses) from a given range. In order not to waste memory, the timeout version does not rely on the kernel timer for every element to be timed out but on garbage collection. All set types use this mechanism.

2011-02-01netfilter: ipset: IP set core supportJozsef Kadlecsik
The patch adds the IP set core support to the kernel. The IP set core implements a netlink (nfnetlink) based protocol by which one can create, destroy, flush, rename, swap, list, save, restore sets, and add, delete, test elements from userspace. For simplicity (and backward compatibilty and for not to force ip(6)tables to be linked with a netlink library) reasons a small getsockopt-based protocol is also kept in order to communicate with the ip(6)tables match and target. The netlink protocol passes all u16, etc values in network order with NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flag. The protocol enforces the proper use of the NLA_F_NESTED and NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flags. For other kernel subsystems (netfilter match and target) the API contains the functions to add, delete and test elements in sets and the required calls to get/put refereces to the sets before those operations can be performed. The set types (which are implemented in independent modules) are stored in a simple RCU protected list. A set type may have variants: for example without timeout or with timeout support, for IPv4 or for IPv6. The sets (i.e. the pointers to the sets) are stored in an array. The sets are identified by their index in the array, which makes possible easy and fast swapping of sets. The array is protected indirectly by the nfnl mutex from nfnetlink. The content of the sets are protected by the rwlock of the set. There are functional differences between the add/del/test functions for the kernel and userspace: - kernel add/del/test: works on the current packet (i.e. one element) - kernel test: may trigger an "add" operation in order to fill out unspecified parts of the element from the packet (like MAC address) - userspace add/del: works on the netlink message and thus possibly on multiple elements from the IPSET_ATTR_ADT container attribute. - userspace add: may trigger resizing of a set Signed-off-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2011-01-26netfilter: xt_connlimit: pick right dstaddr in NAT scenarioJan Engelhardt
xt_connlimit normally records the "original" tuples in a hashlist (such as "1.2.3.4 -> 5.6.7.8"), and looks in this list for iph->daddr when counting. When the user however uses DNAT in PREROUTING, looking for iph->daddr -- which is now 192.168.9.10 -- will not match. Thus in daddr mode, we need to record the reverse direction tuple ("192.168.9.10 -> 1.2.3.4") instead. In the reverse tuple, the dst addr is on the src side, which is convenient, as count_them still uses &conn->tuple.src.u3. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>

2011-01-20netfilter: do not omit re-route check on NF_QUEUE verdictFlorian Westphal
ret != NF_QUEUE only works in the "--queue-num 0" case; for queues > 0 the test should be '(ret & NF_VERDICT_MASK) != NF_QUEUE'. However, NF_QUEUE no longer DROPs the skb unconditionally if queueing fails (due to NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS verdict flag), so the re-route test should also be performed if this flag is set in the verdict. The full test would then look something like && ((ret & NF_VERDICT_MASK) == NF_QUEUE && (ret & NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS)) This is rather ugly, so just remove the NF_QUEUE test altogether. The only effect is that we might perform an unnecessary route lookup in the NF_QUEUE case. ip6table_mangle did not have such a check.

2011-01-20net_sched: implement a root container qdisc sch_mqprioJohn Fastabend
This implements a mqprio queueing discipline that by default creates a pfifo_fast qdisc per tx queue and provides the needed configuration interface. Using the mqprio qdisc the number of tcs currently in use along with the range of queues alloted to each class can be configured. By default skbs are mapped to traffic classes using the skb priority. This mapping is configurable. Configurable parameters, struct tc_mqprio_qopt { __u8 num_tc; __u8 prio_tc_map[TC_BITMASK + 1]; __u8 hw; __u16 count[TC_MAX_QUEUE]; __u16 offset[TC_MAX_QUEUE]; }; Here the count/offset pairing give the queue alignment and the prio_tc_map gives the mapping from skb->priority to tc. The hw bit determines if the hardware should configure the count and offset values. If the hardware bit is set then the operation will fail if the hardware does not implement the ndo_setup_tc operation. This is to avoid undetermined states where the hardware may or may not control the queue mapping. Also minimal bounds checking is done on the count/offset to verify a queue does not exceed num_tx_queues and that queue ranges do not overlap. Otherwise it is left to user policy or hardware configuration to create useful mappings. It is expected that hardware QOS schemes can be implemented by creating appropriate mappings of queues in ndo_tc_setup(). One expected use case is drivers will use the ndo_setup_tc to map queue ranges onto 802.1Q traffic classes. This provides a generic mechanism to map network traffic onto these traffic classes and removes the need for lower layer drivers to know specifics about traffic types.

2011-01-20net: implement mechanism for HW based QOSJohn Fastabend
This patch provides a mechanism for lower layer devices to steer traffic using skb->priority to tx queues. This allows for hardware based QOS schemes to use the default qdisc without incurring the penalties related to global state and the qdisc lock. While reliably receiving skbs on the correct tx ring to avoid head of line blocking resulting from shuffling in the LLD. Finally, all the goodness from txq caching and xps/rps can still be leveraged. Many drivers and hardware exist with the ability to implement QOS schemes in the hardware but currently these drivers tend to rely on firmware to reroute specific traffic, a driver specific select_queue or the queue_mapping action in the qdisc. By using select_queue for this drivers need to be updated for each and every traffic type and we lose the goodness of much of the upstream work. Firmware solutions are inherently inflexible. And finally if admins are expected to build a qdisc and filter rules to steer traffic this requires knowledge of how the hardware is currently configured. The number of tx queues and the queue offsets may change depending on resources. Also this approach incurs all the overhead of a qdisc with filters. With the mechanism in this patch users can set skb priority using expected methods ie setsockopt() or the stack can set the priority directly. Then the skb will be steered to the correct tx queues aligned with hardware QOS traffic classes. In the normal case with single traffic class and all queues in this class everything works as is until the LLD enables multiple tcs. To steer the skb we mask out the lower 4 bits of the priority and allow the hardware to configure upto 15 distinct classes of traffic. This is expected to be sufficient for most applications at any rate it is more then the 8021Q spec designates and is equal to the number of prio bands currently implemented in the default qdisc. This in conjunction with a userspace application such as lldpad can be used to implement 8021Q transmission selection algorithms one of these algorithms being the extended transmission selection algorithm currently being used for DCB.

This patch adds flow-based timestamping for conntracks. This conntrack extension is disabled by default. Basically, we use two 64-bits variables to store the creation timestamp once the conntrack has been confirmed and the other to store the deletion time. This extension is disabled by default, to enable it, you have to: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp This patch allows to save memory for user-space flow-based loogers such as ulogd2. In short, ulogd2 does not need to keep a hashtable with the conntrack in user-space to know when they were created and destroyed, instead we use the kernel timestamp. If we want to have a sane IPFIX implementation in user-space, this nanosecs resolution timestamps are also useful. Other custom user-space applications can benefit from this via libnetfilter_conntrack. This patch modifies the /proc output to display the delta time in seconds since the flow start. You can also obtain the flow-start date by means of the conntrack-tools. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

When a network namespace is created (via CLONE_NEWNET), the loopback interface is automatically added to the new namespace, triggering a printk in ipv6_add_dev() if CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY is set. This is problematic for applications which use CLONE_NEWNET as part of a sandbox, like Chromium's suid sandbox or recent versions of vsftpd. On a busy machine, it can lead to thousands of useless "lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" messages appearing in dmesg.

2011-01-18netfilter: allow NFQUEUE bypass if no listener is availableFlorian Westphal
If an skb is to be NF_QUEUE'd, but no program has opened the queue, the packet is dropped. This adds a v2 target revision of xt_NFQUEUE that allows packets to continue through the ruleset instead. Because the actual queueing happens outside of the target context, the 'bypass' flag has to be communicated back to the netfilter core. Unfortunately the only choice to do this without adding a new function argument is to use the target function return value (i.e. the verdict). In the NF_QUEUE case, the upper 16bit already contain the queue number to use. The previous patch reduced NF_VERDICT_MASK to 0xff, i.e. we now have extra room for a new flag. If a hook issued a NF_QUEUE verdict, then the netfilter core will continue packet processing if the queueing hook returns -ESRCH (== "this queue does not exist") and the new NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS flag is set in the verdict value. Note: If the queue exists, but userspace does not consume packets fast enough, the skb will still be dropped.

2011-01-18netfilter: reduce NF_VERDICT_MASK to 0xffFlorian Westphal
NF_VERDICT_MASK is currently 0xffff. This is because the upper 16 bits are used to store errno (for NF_DROP) or the queue number (NF_QUEUE verdict). As there are up to 0xffff different queues available, there is no more room to store additional flags. At the moment there are only 6 different verdicts, i.e. we can reduce NF_VERDICT_MASK to 0xff to allow storing additional flags in the 0xff00 space. NF_VERDICT_BITS would then be reduced to 8, but because the value is exported to userspace, this might cause breakage; e.g.: e.g. 'queuenr = (1 << NF_VERDICT_BITS) | NF_QUEUE' would now break. Thus, remove NF_VERDICT_BITS usage in the kernel and move the old value to the 'userspace compat' section.

Move free responsibility from nf_queue to caller. This enables more flexible error handling; we can now accept the skb instead of freeing it. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2011-01-18netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: return error number to callerFlorian Westphal
instead of returning -1 on error, return an error number to allow the caller to handle some errors differently. ECANCELED is used to indicate that the hook is going away and should be ignored. A followup patch will introduce more 'ignore this hook' conditions, (depending on queue settings) and will move kfree_skb responsibility to the caller.
