2017-04-15netfilter: kill the fake untracked conntrack objectsFlorian Westphal1-5/+1
resurrect an old patch from Pablo Neira to remove the untracked objects. Currently, there are four possible states of an skb wrt. conntrack. 1. No conntrack attached, ct is NULL. 2. Normal (kmem cache allocated) ct attached. 3. a template (kmalloc'd), not in any hash tables at any point in time 4. the 'untracked' conntrack, a percpu nf_conn object, tagged via IPS_UNTRACKED_BIT in ct->status. Untracked is supposed to be identical to case 1. It exists only so users can check -m conntrack --ctstate UNTRACKED vs. -m conntrack --ctstate INVALID e.g. attempts to set connmark on INVALID or UNTRACKED conntracks is supposed to be a no-op. Thus currently we need to check ct == NULL || nf_ct_is_untracked(ct) in a lot of places in order to avoid altering untracked objects. The other consequence of the percpu untracked object is that all -j NOTRACK (and, later, kfree_skb of such skbs) result in an atomic op (inc/dec the untracked conntracks refcount). This adds a new kernel-private ctinfo state, IP_CT_UNTRACKED, to make the distinction instead. The (few) places that care about packet invalid (ct is NULL) vs. packet untracked now need to test ct == NULL vs. ctinfo == IP_CT_UNTRACKED, but all other places can omit the nf_ct_is_untracked() check.

2017-02-02ipvs: free ip_vs_dest structs when refcnt=0David Windsor1-1/+1
Currently, the ip_vs_dest cache frees ip_vs_dest objects when their reference count becomes < 0. Aside from not being semantically sound, this is problematic for the new type refcount_t, which will be introduced shortly in a separate patch. refcount_t is the new kernel type for holding reference counts, and provides overflow protection and a constrained interface relative to atomic_t (the type currently being used for kernel reference counts). Per Julian Anastasov: "The problem is that dest_trash currently holds deleted dests (unlinked from RCU lists) with refcnt=0." Changing dest_trash to hold dest with refcnt=1 will allow us to free ip_vs_dest structs when their refcnt=0, in ip_vs_dest_put_and_free().

2016-06-06ipvs: update real-server binding of outgoing connections in SIP-peMarco Angaroni1-1/+1
Previous patch that introduced handling of outgoing packets in SIP persistent-engine did not call ip_vs_check_template() in case packet was matching a connection template. Assumption was that real-server was healthy, since it was sending a packet just in that moment. There are however real-server fault conditions requiring that association between call-id and real-server (represented by connection template) gets updated. Here is an example of the sequence of events: 1) RS1 is a back2back user agent that handled call-id1 and call-id2 2) RS1 is down and was marked as unavailable 3) new message from outside comes to IPVS with call-id1 4) IPVS reschedules the message to RS2, which becomes new call handler 5) RS2 forwards the message outside, translating call-id1 to call-id2 6) inside pe->conn_out() IPVS matches call-id2 with existing template 7) IPVS does not change association call-id2 <-> RS1 8) new message comes from client with call-id2 9) IPVS reschedules the message to a real-server potentially different from RS2, which is now the correct destination This patch introduces ip_vs_check_template() call in the handling of outgoing packets for SIP-pe. And also introduces a second optional argument for ip_vs_check_template() that allows to check if dest associated to a connection template is the same dest that was identified as the source of the packet. This is to change the real-server bound to a particular call-id independently from its availability status: the idea is that it's more reliable, for in->out direction (where internal network can be considered trusted), to always associate a call-id with the last real-server that used it in one of its messages. Think about above sequence of events where, just after step 5, RS1 returns instead to be available. Comparison of dests is done by simply comparing pointers to struct ip_vs_dest; there should be no cases where struct ip_vs_dest keeps its memory address, but represent a different real-server in terms of ip-address / port.

2016-04-20ipvs: handle connections started by real-serversMarco Angaroni1-0/+17
When using LVS-NAT and SIP persistence-egine over UDP, the following limitations are present with current implementation: 1) To actually have load-balancing based on Call-ID header, you need to use one-packet-scheduling mode. But with one-packet-scheduling the connection is deleted just after packet is forwarded, so SIP responses coming from real-servers do not match any connection and SNAT is not applied. 2) If you do not use "-o" option, IPVS behaves as normal UDP load balancer, so different SIP calls (each one identified by a different Call-ID) coming from the same ip-address/port go to the same real-server. So basically you don’t have load-balancing based on Call-ID as intended. 3) Call-ID is not learned when a new SIP call is started by a real-server (inside-to-outside direction), but only in the outside-to-inside direction. This would be a general problem for all SIP servers acting as Back2BackUserAgent. This patch aims to solve problems 1) and 3) while keeping OPS mode mandatory for SIP-UDP, so that 2) is not a problem anymore. The basic mechanism implemented is to make packets, that do not match any existent connection but come from real-servers, create new connections instead of let them pass without any effect. When such packets pass through ip_vs_out(), if their source ip address and source port match a configured real-server, a new connection is automatically created in the same way as it would have happened if the packet had come from outside-to-inside direction. A new connection template is created too if the virtual-service is persistent and there is no matching connection template found. The new connection automatically created, if the service had "-o" option, is an OPS connection that lasts only the time to forward the packet, just like it happens on the ingress side. The main part of this mechanism is implemented inside a persistent-engine specific callback (at the moment only SIP persistent engine exists) and is triggered only for UDP packets, since connection oriented protocols, by using different set of ports (typically ephemeral ports) to open new outgoing connections, should not need this feature. The following requisites are needed for automatic connection creation; if any is missing the packet simply goes the same way as before. a) virtual-service is not fwmark based (this is because fwmark services do not store address and port of the virtual-service, required to build the connection data). b) virtual-service and real-servers must not have been configured with omitted port (this is again to have all data to create the connection).

2016-03-07ipvs: drop first packet to redirect conntrackJulian Anastasov1-0/+17
Jiri Bohac is reporting for a problem where the attempt to reschedule existing connection to another real server needs proper redirect for the conntrack used by the IPVS connection. For example, when IPVS connection is created to NAT-ed real server we alter the reply direction of conntrack. If we later decide to select different real server we can not alter again the conntrack. And if we expire the old connection, the new connection is left without conntrack. So, the only way to redirect both the IPVS connection and the Netfilter's conntrack is to drop the SYN packet that hits existing connection, to wait for the next jiffie to expire the old connection and its conntrack and to rely on client's retransmission to create new connection as usually. Jiri Bohac provided a fix that drops all SYNs on rescheduling, I extended his patch to do such drops only for connections that use conntrack. Here is the original report from Jiri Bohac: Since commit dc7b3eb900aa ("ipvs: Fix reuse connection if real server is dead"), new connections to dead servers are redistributed immediately to new servers. The old connection is expired using ip_vs_conn_expire_now() which sets the connection timer to expire immediately. However, before the timer callback, ip_vs_conn_expire(), is run to clean the connection's conntrack entry, the new redistributed connection may already be established and its conntrack removed instead. Fix this by dropping the first packet of the new connection instead, like we do when the destination server is not available. The timer will have deleted the old conntrack entry long before the first packet of the new connection is retransmitted.

2015-03-12net: Introduce possible_net_tEric W. Biederman1-4/+4
Having to say > #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS > struct net *net; > #endif in structures is a little bit wordy and a little bit error prone. Instead it is possible to say: > typedef struct { > #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS > struct net *net; > #endif > } possible_net_t; And then in a header say: > possible_net_t net; Which is cleaner and easier to use and easier to test, as the possible_net_t is always there no matter what the compile options. Further this allows read_pnet and write_pnet to be functions in all cases which is better at catching typos. This change adds possible_net_t, updates the definitions of read_pnet and write_pnet, updates optional struct net * variables that write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes up the b0rked users of read_pnet and write_pnet.
