2008-10-08netfilter: netns nf_conntrack: pass netns pointer to nf_conntrack_in()Alexey Dobriyan
It's deducible from skb->dev or skb->dst->dev, but we know netns at the moment of call, so pass it down and use for finding and creating conntracks. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2008-10-08netfilter: netns nf_conntrack: per-netns unconfirmed listAlexey Dobriyan
What is confirmed connection in one netns can very well be unconfirmed in another one. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2008-10-08netfilter: netns nf_conntrack: per-netns conntrack hashAlexey Dobriyan
* make per-netns conntrack hash Other solution is to add ->ct_net pointer to tuplehashes and still has one hash, I tried that it's ugly and requires more code deep down in protocol modules et al. * propagate netns pointer to where needed, e. g. to conntrack iterators.

2008-01-31[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: switch rwlock to spinlockPatrick McHardy
With the RCU conversion only write_lock usages of nf_conntrack_lock are left (except one read_lock that should actually use write_lock in the H.323 helper). Switch to a spinlock. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-07-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: use hashtable for expectationsPatrick McHardy
Currently all expectations are kept on a global list that - needs to be searched for every new conncetion - needs to be walked for evicting expectations when a master connection has reached its limit - needs to be walked on connection destruction for connections that have open expectations This is obviously not good, especially when considering helpers like H.323 that register *lots* of expectations and can set up permanent expectations, but it also allows for an easy DoS against firewalls using connection tracking helpers. Use a hashtable for expectations to avoid incurring the search overhead for every new connection. The default hash size is 1/256 of the conntrack hash table size, this can be overriden using a module parameter. This patch only introduces the hash table for expectation lookups and keeps other users to reduce the noise, the following patches will get rid of it completely.

2007-07-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: use hlists for conntrack hashPatrick McHardy
Convert conntrack hash to hlists to reduce its size and cache footprint. Since the default hashsize to max. entries ratio sucks (1:16), this patch doesn't reduce the amount of memory used for the hash by default, but instead uses a better ratio of 1:8, which results in the same max. entries value. One thing worth noting is early_drop. It really should use LRU, so it now has to iterate over the entire chain to find the last unconfirmed entry. Since chains shouldn't be very long and the entire operation is very rare this shouldn't be a problem. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-03-05[NETFILTER]: conntrack: fix {nf,ip}_ct_iterate_cleanup endless loopsPatrick McHardy
Fix {nf,ip}_ct_iterate_cleanup unconfirmed list handling: - unconfirmed entries can not be killed manually, they are removed on confirmation or final destruction of the conntrack entry, which means we might iterate forever without making forward progress. This can happen in combination with the conntrack event cache, which holds a reference to the conntrack entry, which is only released when the packet makes it all the way through the stack or a different packet is handled. - taking references to an unconfirmed entry and using it outside the locked section doesn't work, the list entries are not refcounted and another CPU might already be waiting to destroy the entry What the code really wants to do is make sure the references of the hash table to the selected conntrack entries are released, so they will be destroyed once all references from skbs and the event cache are dropped. Since unconfirmed entries haven't even entered the hash yet, simply mark them as dying and skip confirmation based on that.

2005-11-09[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.Yasuyuki Kozakai
The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written. In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3 protocol. The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6, which is also cured here. For example, these issues include: 1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP messages 2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag" (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply isn't feasible in ipv6 3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking design 4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will fully kill it off 6 months later.
