Tinggong Wang 16a7fd323f ipvs: fix timer in get_curr_sync_buff
Fix get_curr_sync_buff to keep buffer for 2 seconds
as intended, not just for the current jiffie. By this way
we will sync more connection structures with single packet.

Stefan Berger 44bd4de9c2 netfilter: xt_connlimit: connlimit-above early loop termination
The patch below introduces an early termination of the loop that is
counting matches. It terminates once the counter has exceeded the
threshold provided by the user. There's no point in continuing the loop
afterwards and looking at other entries.

It plays together with the following code further below:

return (connections > info->limit) ^ info->inverse;

where connections is the result of the counted connection, which in turn
is the matches variable in the loop. So once

        -> matches = info->limit + 1
alias   -> matches > info->limit
alias   -> matches > threshold

we can terminate the loop.

Jozsef Kadlecsik 5f52bc3cdd netfilter: ipset: send error message manually
When a message carries multiple commands and one of them triggers
an error, we have to report to the userspace which one was that.
The line number of the command plays this role and there's an attribute
reserved in the header part of the message to be filled out with the error
line number. In order not to modify the original message received from
the userspace, we construct a new, complete netlink error message and
modifies the attribute there, then send it.
Netlink is notified not to send its ACK/error message.

Jozsef Kadlecsik 6c02788969 netfilter: ipset: hash:ip set type support
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.

Jozsef Kadlecsik a7b4f989a6 netfilter: ipset: IP set core support
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

xt_connlimit normally records the "original" tuples in a hashlist

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.

Pablo Neira Ayuso a992ca2a04 netfilter: nf_conntrack_tstamp: add flow-based timestamp extension
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.

This patch implements the "second best choice".

Since the netbios-ns conntrack module uses the same helper
functionality as the snmp, only one helper function is added
for both snmp and netbios-ns modules into the new object -
nf_conntrack_broadcast.

Florian Westphal 94b27cc361 netfilter: allow NFQUEUE bypass if no listener is available
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.

Florian Westphal f615df76ed netfilter: reduce NF_VERDICT_MASK to 0xff
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.

Florian Westphal 06cdb6349c netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: do not free skb on error
Move free responsibility from nf_queue to caller.
This enables more flexible error handling; we can now accept the skb
instead of freeing it.

Florian Westphal f158508618 netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: return error number to caller
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.
