commit 945b2b2d259d1a4364a2799e80e8ff32f8c6ee6f upstream.

Quoting Samu Kallio:

 Basically what's happening is, during netns cleanup,
 nf_nat_net_exit gets called before ipv4_net_exit. As I understand
 it, nf_nat_net_exit is supposed to kill any conntrack entries which
 have NAT context (through nf_ct_iterate_cleanup), but for some
 reason this doesn't happen (perhaps something else is still holding
 refs to those entries?).

 When ipv4_net_exit is called, conntrack entries (including those
 with NAT context) are cleaned up, but the
 nat_bysource hashtable is long gone - freed in nf_nat_net_exit. The
 bug happens when attempting to free a conntrack entry whose NAT hash
 'prev' field points to a slot in the freed hash table (head for that
 bin).

We ignore conntracks with null nat bindings.  But this is wrong,
as these are in bysource hash table as well.

Restore nat-cleaning for the netns-is-being-removed case.

commit b51d3fa364885a2c1e1668f88776c67c95291820 upstream.

The kernel should reserve enough room in the skb so that the DONE
message can always be appended.  However, in case of e.g. new attribute
erronously not being size-accounted for, __nfulnl_send() will still
try to put next nlmsg into this full skbuf, causing the skb to be stuck
forever and blocking delivery of further messages.

Fix issue by releasing skb immediately after nlmsg_put error and
WARN() so we can track down the cause of such size mismatch.

commit c1e7dc91eed0ed1a51c9b814d648db18bf8fc6e9 upstream.

don't try to queue payloads &gt; 0xffff - NLA_HDRLEN, it does not work.
The nla length includes the size of the nla struct, so anything larger
results in u16 integer overflow.

This patch is similar to
9cefbbc9c8f9abe (netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: cleanup copy_range usage).

commit 9dfa1dfe4d5e5e66a991321ab08afe69759d797a upstream.

We currently neither account for the nlattr size, nor do we consider
the size of the trailing NLMSG_DONE when allocating nlmsg skb.

This can result in nflog to stop working, as __nfulnl_send() re-tries
sending forever if it failed to append NLMSG_DONE (which will never
work if buffer is not large enough).

commit 6547a221871f139cc56328a38105d47c14874cbe upstream.

When loose tracking is enabled (default), non-syn packets cause
creation of new conntracks in established state with default timeout for
established state (5 days).  This causes the table to fill up with UNREPLIED
when the 'new ack' packet happened to be the last-ack of a previous,
already timed-out connection.

Consider:

A 192.168.x.52792 &gt; 10.184.y.80: F, 426:426(0) ack 9237 win 255
B 10.184.y.80 &gt; 192.168.x.52792: ., ack 427 win 123
&lt;61 second pause&gt;
C 10.184.y.80 &gt; 192.168.x.52792: F, 9237:9237(0) ack 427 win 123
D 192.168.x.52792 &gt; 10.184.y.80: ., ack 9238 win 255

B moves conntrack to CLOSE_WAIT and will kill it after 60 second timeout,
C is ignored (FIN set), but last packet (D) causes new ct with 5-days timeout.

Use UNACK timeout (5 minutes) instead to get rid of these entries sooner
when in ESTABLISHED state without having seen traffic in both directions.

("ipvs: changes for local real server") from 2.6.37
introduced DNAT support to local real server but the
IPv6 LOCAL_OUT handler ip_vs_local_reply6() is
registered incorrectly as IPv4 hook causing any outgoing
IPv4 traffic to be dropped depending on the IP header values.

Previously, only the four high bits of the tclass were maintained in the
ipv6 case.  This matches the behavior of ipv4, though whether or not we
should reflect ECN bits may be up for debate.

[ Upstream commit 73f156a6e8c1074ac6327e0abd1169e95eb66463 ]

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.

linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.

1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes

2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
   with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.

3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
   is about 20.

4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
   not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
   the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())

5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.

IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'

Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.

We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.

ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)

secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.

Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.

[ Upstream commit 73f156a6e8c1074ac6327e0abd1169e95eb66463 ]

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.

linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.

1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes

2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
   with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.

3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
   is about 20.

4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
   not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
   the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())

5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.

commit 36d5fe6a000790f56039afe26834265db0a3ad4c upstream.

skb_zerocopy can copy elements of the frags array between skbs, but it doesn't
orphan them. Also, it doesn't handle errors, so this patch takes care of that
as well, and modify the callers accordingly. skb_tx_error() is also added to
the callers so they will signal the failed delivery towards the creator of the
skb.

[bwh: Backported to 3.13: skb_zerocopy() is new in 3.14, but was moved from a
 static function in nfnetlink_queue.  We need to patch that and its caller, but
 not openvswitch.]
