Use "hlist_nulls" infrastructure we added in 2.6.29 for RCUification of UDP & TCP. This permits an easy conversion from call_rcu() based hash lists to a SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU one. Avoiding call_rcu() delay at nf_conn freeing time has numerous gains. First, it doesnt fill RCU queues (up to 10000 elements per cpu). This reduces OOM possibility, if queued elements are not taken into account This reduces latency problems when RCU queue size hits hilimit and triggers emergency mode. - It allows fast reuse of just freed elements, permitting better use of CPU cache. - We delete rcu_head from "struct nf_conn", shrinking size of this structure by 8 or 16 bytes. This patch only takes care of "struct nf_conn". call_rcu() is still used for less critical conntrack parts, that may be converted later if necessary.

Commit e1b4b9f3 ([NETFILTER]: {ip,ip6,arp}_tables: fix exponential worst-case search for loops) introduced a regression in the loop detection algorithm, causing sporadic incorrectly detected loops. When a chain has already been visited during the check, it is treated as having a standard target containing a RETURN verdict directly at the beginning in order to not check it again. The real target of the first rule is then incorrectly treated as STANDARD target and checked not to contain invalid verdicts. Fix by making sure the rule does actually contain a standard target.

There is added a single callback for the l3 proto helper. The two callbacks for the l4 protos are necessary because of the general structure of a ctnetlink event, which is in short: CTA_TUPLE_ORIG <l3/l4-proto-attributes> CTA_TUPLE_REPLY <l3/l4-proto-attributes> CTA_ID ... CTA_PROTOINFO <l4-proto-attributes> CTA_TUPLE_MASTER <l3/l4-proto-attributes> Therefore the formular is size := sizeof(generic-nlas) + 3 * sizeof(tuple_nlas) + sizeof(protoinfo_nlas) Some of the NLAs are optional, e. g. CTA_TUPLE_MASTER, which is only set if it's an expected connection. But the number of optional NLAs is small enough to prevent netlink_trim() from reallocating if calculated properly.

Using hlist_add_head() in nf_conntrack_set_hashsize() is quite dangerous. Without any barrier, one CPU could see a loop while doing its lookup.

We use RCU to defer freeing of conntrack structures. In DOS situation, RCU might accumulate about 10.000 elements per CPU in its internal queues. To get accurate conntrack counts (at the expense of slightly more RAM used), we might consider conntrack counter not taking into account "about to be freed elements, waiting in RCU queues". We thus decrement it in nf_conntrack_free(), not in the RCU callback.

This patchs adds support of modification of the used logger via sysctl. It can be used to change the logger to module that can not use the bind operation (ipt_LOG and ipt_ULOG). For this purpose, it creates a directory /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log which contains a file per-protocol. The content of the file is the name current logger (NONE if not set) and a logger can be setup by simply echoing its name to the file. By echoing "NONE" to a /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/PROTO file, the logger corresponding to this PROTO is set to NULL.

This patch adds the iptables cluster match. This match can be used to deploy gateway and back-end load-sharing clusters. The cluster can be composed of 32 nodes maximum (although I have only tested this with two nodes, so I cannot tell what is the real scalability limit of this solution in terms of cluster nodes). Assuming that all the nodes see all packets (see below for an example on how to do that if your switch does not allow this), the cluster match decides if this node has to handle a packet given: (jhash(source IP) % total_nodes) & node_mask For related connections, the master conntrack is used. The following is an example of its use to deploy a gateway cluster composed of two nodes (where this is the node 1): iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth1 -m cluster \ --cluster-total-nodes 2 --cluster-local-node 1 \ --cluster-proc-name eth1 -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth1 \ -m mark ! --mark 0xffff -j DROP iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth2 -m cluster \ --cluster-total-nodes 2 --cluster-local-node 1 \ --cluster-proc-name eth2 -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth2 \ -m mark ! --mark 0xffff -j DROP And the following commands to make all nodes see the same packets: ip maddr add 01:00:5e:00:01:01 dev eth1 ip maddr add 01:00:5e:00:01:02 dev eth2 arptables -I OUTPUT -o eth1 --h-length 6 \ -j mangle --mangle-mac-s 01:00:5e:00:01:01 arptables -I INPUT -i eth1 --h-length 6 \ --destination-mac 01:00:5e:00:01:01 \ -j mangle --mangle-mac-d 00:zz:yy:xx:5a:27 arptables -I OUTPUT -o eth2 --h-length 6 \ -j mangle --mangle-mac-s 01:00:5e:00:01:02 arptables -I INPUT -i eth2 --h-length 6 \ --destination-mac 01:00:5e:00:01:02 \ -j mangle --mangle-mac-d 00:zz:yy:xx:5a:27 In the case of TCP connections, pickup facility has to be disabled to avoid marking TCP ACK packets coming in the reply direction as valid. echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_tcp_loose BTW, some final notes: * This match mangles the skbuff pkt_type in case that it detects PACKET_MULTICAST for a non-multicast address. This may be done in a PKTTYPE target for this sole purpose. * This match supersedes the CLUSTERIP target.

Commit 78454473 (netfilter: iptables: lock free counters) broke a number of modules whose rule data referenced itself.

This patch moves the event reporting outside the lock section. With this patch, the creation and update of entries is homogeneous from the event reporting perspective. Moreover, as the event reporting is done outside the lock section, the netlink broadcast delivery can benefit of the yield() call under congestion.

This patch modifies the proc output to add display of registered loggers. The content of /proc/net/netfilter/nf_log is modified.

This patch modifies nf_log to use a linked list of loggers for each protocol. This list of loggers is read and write protected with a mutex. This patch separates registration and binding. To be used as logging module, a module has to register calling nf_log_register() and to bind to a protocol it has to call nf_log_bind_pf(). This patch also converts the logging modules to the new API. For nfnetlink_log, it simply switchs call to register functions to call to bind function and adds a call to nf_log_register() during init. For other modules, it just remove a const flag from the logger structure and replace it with a __read_mostly.

Commit 78454473 (netfilter: iptables: lock free counters) broke xt_hashlimit netfilter module : This module was storing a pointer inside its xt_hashlimit_info, and this pointer is not relocated when we temporarly switch tables (iptables -L). This hack is not not needed at all (probably a leftover from ancient time), as each cpu should and can access to its own copy.

The reader/writer lock in ip_tables is acquired in the critical path of processing packets and is one of the reasons just loading iptables can cause a 20% performance loss. The rwlock serves two functions: 1) it prevents changes to table state (xt_replace) while table is in use. This is now handled by doing rcu on the xt_table. When table is replaced, the new table(s) are put in and the old one table(s) are freed after RCU period. 2) it provides synchronization when accesing the counter values. This is now handled by swapping in new table_info entries for each cpu then summing the old values, and putting the result back onto one cpu. On a busy system it may cause sampling to occur at different times on each cpu, but no packet/byte counts are lost in the process.
