ipvs: add missing ip_vs_pe_put in sync code

2015-02-22T21:16:36Z

ip_vs_conn_fill_param_sync() gets in param.pe a module reference for persistence engine from __ip_vs_pe_getbyname() but forgets to put it. Problem occurs in backup for sync protocol v1 (2.6.39). Also, pe_data usually comes in sync messages for connection templates and ip_vs_conn_new() copies the pointer only in this case. Make sure pe_data is not leaked if it comes unexpectedly for normal connections. Leak can happen only if bogus messages are sent to backup server.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net The following patchset contains updates for your net tree, they are: 1) Fix removal of destination in IPVS when the new mixed family support is used, from Alexey Andriyanov via Simon Horman. 2) Fix module refcount undeflow in nft_compat when reusing a match / target. 3) Fix iptables-restore when the recent match is used with a new hitcount that exceeds threshold, from Florian Westphal. 4) Fix stack corruption in xt_socket due to using stack storage to save the inner IPv6 header, from Eric Dumazet. I'll follow up soon with another batch with more fixes that are still cooking. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipvs: fix inability to remove a mixed-family RS

2015-02-09T05:13:30Z

The current code prevents any operation with a mixed-family dest unless IP_VS_CONN_F_TUNNEL flag is set. The problem is that it's impossible for the client to follow this rule, because ip_vs_genl_parse_dest does not even read the destination conn_flags when cmd = IPVS_CMD_DEL_DEST (need_full_dest = 0). Also, not every client can pass this flag when removing a dest. ipvsadm, for example, does not support the "-i" command line option together with the "-d" option. This change disables any checks for mixed-family on IPVS_CMD_DEL_DEST command.

Conflicts: drivers/net/vxlan.c drivers/vhost/net.c include/linux/if_vlan.h net/core/dev.c The net/core/dev.c conflict was the overlap of one commit marking an existing function static whilst another was adding a new function. In the include/linux/if_vlan.h case, the type used for a local variable was changed in 'net', whereas the function got rewritten to fix a stacked vlan bug in 'net-next'. In drivers/vhost/net.c, Al Viro's iov_iter conversions in 'net-next' overlapped with an endainness fix for VHOST 1.0 in 'net'. In drivers/net/vxlan.c, vxlan_find_vni() added a 'flags' parameter in 'net-next' whereas in 'net' there was a bug fix to pass in the correct network namespace pointer in calls to this function.

ipvs: rerouting to local clients is not needed anymore

2015-01-30T01:05:55Z

commit f5a41847acc5 ("ipvs: move ip_route_me_harder for ICMP") from 2.6.37 introduced ip_route_me_harder() call for responses to local clients, so that we can provide valid rt_src after SNAT. It was used by TCP to provide valid daddr for ip_send_reply(). After commit 0a5ebb8000c5 ("ipv4: Pass explicit daddr arg to ip_send_reply()." from 3.0 this rerouting is not needed anymore and should be avoided, especially in LOCAL_IN.

netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void

2015-01-18T06:03:45Z

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb. This makes the very common pattern of if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... } be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do return nlmsg_end(...); and the caller is expected to deal with it. This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very common to write if (my_function(...)) /* error condition */ and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong. Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there. Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did - return nlmsg_end(...); + nlmsg_end(...); + return 0; I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more efficient version. One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time. I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

ipvs: uninitialized data with IP_VS_IPV6

2014-12-10T08:36:47Z

The app_tcp_pkt_out() function expects "*diff" to be set and ends up using uninitialized data if CONFIG_IP_VS_IPV6 is turned on. The same issue is there in app_tcp_pkt_in().

dst: no need to take reference on DST_NOCACHE dsts

2014-12-09T21:08:17Z

Since commit f8864972126899 ("ipv4: fix dst race in sk_dst_get()") DST_NOCACHE dst_entries get freed by RCU. So there is no need to get a reference on them when we are in rcu protected sections.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== netfilter/ipvs updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree, this includes the NAT redirection support for nf_tables, the cgroup support for nft meta and conntrack zone support for the connlimit match. Coming after those, a bunch of sparse warning fixes, missing netns bits and cleanups. More specifically, they are: 1) Prepare IPv4 and IPv6 NAT redirect code to use it from nf_tables, patches from Arturo Borrero. 2) Introduce the nf_tables redir expression, from Arturo Borrero. 3) Remove an unnecessary assignment in ip_vs_xmit/__ip_vs_get_out_rt(). Patch from Alex Gartrell. 4) Add nft_log_dereference() macro to the nf_log infrastructure, patch from Marcelo Leitner. 5) Add some extra validation when registering logger families, also from Marcelo. 6) Some spelling cleanups from stephen hemminger. 7) Fix sparse warning in nf_logger_find_get(). 8) Add cgroup support to nf_tables meta, patch from Ana Rey. 9) A Kconfig fix for the new redir expression and fix sparse warnings in the new redir expression. 10) Fix several sparse warnings in the netfilter tree, from Florian Westphal. 11) Reduce verbosity when OOM in nfnetlink_log. User can basically do nothing when this situation occurs. 12) Add conntrack zone support to xt_connlimit, again from Florian. 13) Add netnamespace support to the h323 conntrack helper, contributed by Vasily Averin. 14) Remove unnecessary nul-pointer checks before free_percpu() and module_put(), from Markus Elfring. 15) Use pr_fmt in nfnetlink_log, again patch from Marcelo Leitner. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
