Netfilter fixes for net
The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net, they are:
1) Oneliner to restore maps in nf_tables since we support addressing registers
at 32 bits level.
2) Restore previous default behaviour in bridge netfilter when CONFIG_IPV6=n,
oneliner from Bernhard Thaler.
3) Out of bound access in ipset hash:net* set types, reported by Dave Jones'
KASan utility, patch from Jozsef Kadlecsik.
4) Fix ipset compilation with gcc 4.4.7 related to C99 initialization of
unnamed unions, patch from Elad Raz.
5) Add a workaround to address inconsistent endianess in the res_id field of
nfnetlink batch messages, reported by Florian Westphal.
6) Fix error paths of CT/synproxy since the conntrack template was moved to use
kmalloc, patch from Daniel Borkmann.
All of them look good to me to reach 4.2, I can route this to -stable myself
too, just let me know what you prefer.

Fengguang reported, that some randconfig generated the following linker
issue with nf_ct_zone_dflt object involved:
[...]
CC init/version.o
LD init/built-in.o
net/built-in.o: In function `ipv4_conntrack_defrag':
nf_defrag_ipv4.c:(.text+0x93e95): undefined reference to `nf_ct_zone_dflt'

nf_defrag_ipv6_hooks.c:(.text+0xe3ffe): undefined reference to `nf_ct_zone_dflt'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
Given that configurations exist where we have a built-in part, which is
accessing nf_ct_zone_dflt such as the two handlers nf_ct_defrag_user()
and nf_ct6_defrag_user(), and a part that configures nf_conntrack as a
module, we must move nf_ct_zone_dflt into a fixed, guaranteed built-in
area when netfilter is configured in general.
Therefore, split the more generic parts into a common header under
include/linux/netfilter/ and move nf_ct_zone_dflt into the built-in
section that already holds parts related to CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK in the
netfilter core. This fixes the issue on my side.

Commit 0838aa7fcf ("netfilter: fix netns dependencies with conntrack
templates") migrated templates to the new allocator api, but forgot to
update error paths for them in CT and synproxy to use nf_ct_tmpl_free()
instead of nf_conntrack_free().
Due to that, memory is being freed into the wrong kmemcache, but also
we drop the per net reference count of ct objects causing an imbalance.
In Brad's case, this leads to a wrap-around of net->ct.count and thus
lets __nf_conntrack_alloc() refuse to create a new ct object:
[ 10.340913] xt_addrtype: ipv6 does not support BROADCAST matching
[ 10.810168] nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet

[...]
With slab debugging, it also reports the wrong kmemcache (kmalloc-512 vs.
nf_conntrack_ffffffff81ce75c0) and reports poison overwrites, etc. Thus,
to fix the problem, export and use nf_ct_tmpl_free() instead.

This work adds the possibility of deriving the zone id from the skb->mark
field in a scalable manner. This allows for having only a single template
serving hundreds/thousands of different zones, for example, instead of the
need to have one match for each zone as an extra CT jump target.
Note that we'd need to have this information attached to the template as at
the time when we're trying to lookup a possible ct object, we already need
to know zone information for a possible match when going into
__nf_conntrack_find_get(). This work provides a minimal implementation for
a possible mapping.
In order to not add/expose an extra ct->status bit, the zone structure has
been extended to carry a flag for deriving the mark.

This work adds a direction parameter to netfilter zones, so identity
separation can be performed only in original/reply or both directions
(default). This basically opens up the possibility of doing NAT with
conflicting IP address/port tuples from multiple, isolated tenants
on a host (e.g. from a netns) without requiring each tenant to NAT
twice resp. to use its own dedicated IP address to SNAT to, meaning
overlapping tuples can be made unique with the zone identifier in
original direction, where the NAT engine will then allocate a unique
tuple in the commonly shared default zone for the reply direction.
In some restricted, local DNAT cases, also port redirection could be
used for making the reply traffic unique w/o requiring SNAT.
The consensus we've reached and discussed at NFWS and since the initial
implementation [1] was to directly integrate the direction meta data
into the existing zones infrastructure, as opposed to the ct->mark
approach we proposed initially.
As we pass the nf_conntrack_zone object directly around, we don't have
to touch all call-sites, but only those, that contain equality checks
of zones. Thus, based on the current direction (original or reply),
we either return the actual id, or the default NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_ID.
CT expectations are direction-agnostic entities when expectations are
being compared among themselves, so we can only use the identifier
in this case.
Note that zone identifiers can not be included into the hash mix
anymore as they don't contain a "stable" value that would be equal
for both directions at all times, f.e. if only zone->id would
unconditionally be xor'ed into the table slot hash, then replies won't
find the corresponding conntracking entry anymore.
If no particular direction is specified when configuring zones, the
behaviour is exactly as we expect currently (both directions).
Support has been added for the CT netlink interface as well as the
x_tables raw CT target, which both already offer existing interfaces
to user space for the configuration of zones.
Below a minimal, simplified collision example (script in [2]) with
netperf sessions:
+--- tenant-1 ---+ mark := 1
| netperf |--+
+----------------+ | CT zone := mark [ORIGINAL]
[ip,sport] := X +--------------+ +--- gateway ---+
| mark routing |--| SNAT |-- ... +
+--------------+ +---------------+ |
+--- tenant-2 ---+ | ~~~|~~~
| netperf |--+ +-----------+ |
+----------------+ mark := 2 | netserver |------ ... +
[ip,sport] := X +-----------+
[ip,port] := Y
On the gateway netns, example:
iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -j CT --zone mark --zone-dir ORIGINAL
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o <dev> -j SNAT --to-source <ip> --random-fully
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m conntrack --ctdir ORIGINAL -j CONNMARK --save-mark
iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -m conntrack --ctdir REPLY -j CONNMARK --restore-mark
conntrack dump from gateway netns:
netperf -H 10.1.1.2 -t TCP_STREAM -l60 -p12865,5555 from each tenant netns
tcp 6 431995 ESTABLISHED src=40.1.1.1 dst=10.1.1.2 sport=5555 dport=12865 zone-orig=1

Taking this further, test script in [2] creates 200 tenants and runs
original-tuple colliding netperf sessions each. A conntrack -L dump in
the gateway netns also confirms 200 overlapping entries, all in ESTABLISHED
state as expected.
I also did run various other tests with some permutations of the script,
to mention some: SNAT in random/random-fully/persistent mode, no zones (no
overlaps), static zones (original, reply, both directions), etc.

Quoting Daniel Borkmann:
"When adding connection tracking template rules to a netns, f.e. to
configure netfilter zones, the kernel will endlessly busy-loop as soon
as we try to delete the given netns in case there's at least one
template present, which is problematic i.e. if there is such bravery that
the priviledged user inside the netns is assumed untrusted.
Minimal example:
ip netns add foo
ip netns exec foo iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -d 1.2.3.4 -j CT --zone 1
ip netns del foo
What happens is that when nf_ct_iterate_cleanup() is being called from
nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() for a provided netns, we always end up
with a net->ct.count > 0 and thus jump back to i_see_dead_people. We
don't get a soft-lockup as we still have a schedule() point, but the
serving CPU spins on 100% from that point onwards.
Since templates are normally allocated with nf_conntrack_alloc(), we
also bump net->ct.count. The issue why they are not yet nf_ct_put() is
because the per netns .exit() handler from x_tables (which would eventually
invoke xt_CT's xt_ct_tg_destroy() that drops reference on info->ct) is
called in the dependency chain at a *later* point in time than the per
netns .exit() handler for the connection tracker.
This is clearly a chicken'n'egg problem: after the connection tracker
.exit() handler, we've teared down all the connection tracking
infrastructure already, so rightfully, xt_ct_tg_destroy() cannot be
invoked at a later point in time during the netns cleanup, as that would
lead to a use-after-free. At the same time, we cannot make x_tables depend
on the connection tracker module, so that the xt_ct_tg_destroy() would
be invoked earlier in the cleanup chain."
Daniel confirms this has to do with the order in which modules are loaded or
having compiled nf_conntrack as modules while x_tables built-in. So we have no
guarantees regarding the order in which netns callbacks are executed.
Fix this by allocating the templates through kmalloc() from the respective
SYNPROXY and CT targets, so they don't depend on the conntrack kmem cache.
Then, release then via nf_ct_tmpl_free() from destroy_conntrack(). This branch
is marked as unlikely since conntrack templates are rarely allocated and only
from the configuration plane path.
Note that templates are not kept in any list to avoid further dependencies with
nf_conntrack anymore, thus, the tmpl larval list is removed.

When dumping register numbers, values are expressed using the old values

Set elements are the last object type not supporting transaction support.
Implement similar to the existing rule transactions:
The global transaction counter keeps track of two generations, current
and next. Each element contains a bitmask specifying in which generations
it is inactive.
New elements start out as inactive in the current generation and active
in the next. On commit, the previous next generation becomes the current
generation and the element becomes active. The bitmask is then cleared
to indicate that the element is active in all future generations. If the
transaction is aborted, the element is removed from the set before it
becomes active.
When removing an element, it gets marked as inactive in the next generation.
On commit the next generation becomes active and the therefor the element
inactive. It is then taken out of then set and released. On abort, the
element is marked as active for the next generation again.
Lookups ignore elements not active in the current generation.
The current set types (hash/rbtree) both use a field in the extension area
to store the generation mask. This (currently) does not require any
additional memory since we have some free space in there.

to zero additional ones, additionally this guarantees that the set
