2008-07-21netfilter: accounting rework: ct_extend + 64bit counters (v4)Krzysztof Piotr Oledzki
Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime. This patch: - reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure, - makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(), - makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n), - makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs, - extends counters from 32bit to 64bit, - renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter, - enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT), - set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT - removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling. If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend. Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".

2008-06-17netfilter: nf_nat: fix RCU racesPatrick McHardy
Fix three ct_extend/NAT extension related races: - When cleaning up the extension area and removing it from the bysource hash, the nat->ct pointer must not be set to NULL since it may still be used in a RCU read side - When replacing a NAT extension area in the bysource hash, the nat->ct pointer must be assigned before performing the replacement - When reallocating extension storage in ct_extend, the old memory must not be freed immediately since it may still be used by a RCU read side Possibly fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449315 and/or http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10875 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-03-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: replace horrible hack with ksize()Pekka Enberg
There's a horrible slab abuse in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_extend.c that can be replaced with a call to ksize().

2008-02-07[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: fix ct_extend ->move operationPatrick McHardy
The ->move operation has two bugs: - It is called with the same extension as source and destination, so it doesn't update the new extension. - The address of the old extension is calculated incorrectly, instead of (void *)ct->ext + ct->ext->offset[i] it uses ct->ext + ct->ext->offset[i]. Fixes a crash on x86_64 reported by Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@redhat.com> and Thomas Woerner <twoerner@redhat.com>.

2007-07-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: introduce extension infrastructureYasuyuki Kozakai
Old space allocator of conntrack had problems about extensibility. - It required slab cache per combination of extensions. - It expected what extensions would be assigned, but it was impossible to expect that completely, then we allocated bigger memory object than really required. - It needed to search helper twice due to lock issue. Now basic informations of a connection are stored in 'struct nf_conn'. And a storage for extension (helper, NAT) is allocated by kmalloc.
