Florian Westphal says: ==================== netfilter: bug fixes for net 1. Fix IP address check in irc DCC conntrack helper, this should check the opposite direction rather than the destination address of the packets' direction, from David Leadbeater. 2. bridge netfilter needs to drop dst references, from Harsh Modi. This was fine back in the day the code was originally written, but nowadays various tunnels can pre-set metadata dsts on packets. 3. Remove nf_conntrack_helper sysctl and the modparam toggle, users need to explicitily assign the helpers to use via nftables or iptables. Conntrack helpers, by design, may be used to add dynamic port redirections to internal machines, so its necessary to restrict which hosts/peers are allowed to use them. It was discovered that improper checking in the irc DCC helper makes it possible to trigger the 'please do dynamic port forward' from outside by embedding a 'DCC' in a PING request; if the client echos that back a expectation/port forward gets added. The auto-assign-for-everything mechanism has been in "please don't do this" territory since 2012. From Pablo. 4. Fix a memory leak in the netdev hook error unwind path, also from Pablo. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf: netfilter: nf_conntrack_irc: Fix forged IP logic netfilter: nf_tables: clean up hook list when offload flags check fails netfilter: br_netfilter: Drop dst references before setting. netfilter: remove nf_conntrack_helper sysctl and modparam toggles ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220901071238.3044-1-fw@strlen.de Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

tcp: make global challenge ack rate limitation per net-ns and default disabled

2022-09-01T02:56:48Z

Because per host rate limiting has been proven problematic (side channel attacks can be based on it), per host rate limiting of challenge acks ideally should be per netns and turned off by default. This is a long due followup of following commits: 083ae308280d ("tcp: enable per-socket rate limiting of all 'challenge acks'") f2b2c582e824 ("tcp: mitigate ACK loops for connections as tcp_sock") 75ff39ccc1bd ("tcp: make challenge acks less predictable") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Jason Baron Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

netfilter: remove nf_conntrack_helper sysctl and modparam toggles

2022-08-31T10:12:32Z

__nf_ct_try_assign_helper() remains in place but it now requires a template to configure the helper. A toggle to disable automatic helper assignment was added by: a9006892643a ("netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allow to disable automatic helper assignment") in 2012 to address the issues described in "Secure use of iptables and connection tracking helpers". Automatic conntrack helper assignment was disabled by: 3bb398d925ec ("netfilter: nf_ct_helper: disable automatic helper assignment") back in 2016. This patch removes the sysctl and modparam toggles, users now have to rely on explicit conntrack helper configuration via ruleset. Update tools/testing/selftests/netfilter/nft_conntrack_helper.sh to check that auto-assignment does not happen anymore. Acked-by: Aaron Conole Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: nfnetlink: re-enable conntrack expectation events

2022-08-11T16:09:54Z

To avoid allocation of the conntrack extension area when possible, the default behaviour was changed to only allocate the event extension if a userspace program is subscribed to a notification group. Problem is that while 'conntrack -E' does enable the event allocation behind the scenes, 'conntrack -E expect' does not: no expectation events are delivered unless user sets "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_events" back to 1 (always on). Fix the autodetection to also consider EXP type group. We need to track the 6 event groups (3+3, new/update/destroy for events and for expectations each) independently, else we'd disable events again if an expectation group becomes empty while there is still an active event group.

net/smc: Introduce a sysctl for setting SMC-R buffer type

2022-07-18T10:19:17Z

This patch introduces the sysctl smcr_buf_type for setting the type of SMC-R sndbufs and RMBs. Valid values includes: - SMCR_PHYS_CONT_BUFS, which means use physically contiguous buffers for better performance and is the default value. - SMCR_VIRT_CONT_BUFS, which means use virtually contiguous buffers in case of physically contiguous memory is scarce. - SMCR_MIXED_BUFS, which means first try to use physically contiguous buffers. If not available, then use virtually contiguous buffers. Signed-off-by: Wen Gu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netfilter: nf_flow_table: count pending offload workqueue tasks

2022-07-11T14:25:14Z

To improve hardware offload debuggability count pending 'add', 'del' and 'stats' flow_table offload workqueue tasks. Counters are incremented before scheduling new task and decremented when workqueue handler finishes executing. These counters allow user to diagnose congestion on hardware offload workqueues that can happen when either CPU is starved and workqueue jobs are executed at lower rate than new ones are added or when hardware/driver can't keep up with the rate. Implement the described counters as percpu counters inside new struct netns_ft which is stored inside struct net. Expose them via new procfs file '/proc/net/stats/nf_flowtable' that is similar to existing 'nf_conntrack' file. Signed-off-by: Vlad Buslov Signed-off-by: Oz Shlomo Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

af_unix: Define a per-netns hash table.

2022-06-22T11:59:43Z

This commit adds a per netns hash table for AF_UNIX, which size is fixed as UNIX_HASH_SIZE for now. The first implementation defines a per-netns hash table as a single array of lock and list: struct unix_hashbucket { spinlock_t lock; struct hlist_head head; }; struct netns_unix { struct unix_hashbucket *hash; ... }; But, Eric pointed out memory cost that the structure has holes because of sizeof(spinlock_t), which is 4 (or more if LOCKDEP is enabled). [0] It could be expensive on a host with thousands of netns and few AF_UNIX sockets. For this reason, a per-netns hash table uses two dense arrays. struct unix_table { spinlock_t *locks; struct hlist_head *buckets; }; struct netns_unix { struct unix_table table; ... }; Note the length of the list has a significant impact rather than lock contention, so having shared locks can be an option. But, per-netns locks and lists still perform better than the global locks and per-netns lists. [1] Also, this patch adds a change so that struct netns_unix disappears from struct net if CONFIG_UNIX is disabled.
