2007-03-05[NETFILTER]: tcp conntrack: accept SYN|URG as validPatrick McHardy
Some stacks apparently send packets with SYN|URG set. Linux accepts these packets, so TCP conntrack should to. Pointed out by Martijn Posthuma <posthuma@sangine.com>. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2007-02-08[NETFILTER]: tcp conntrack: do liberal tracking for picked up connectionsPatrick McHardy
Do liberal tracking (only RSTs need to be in-window) for connections picked up without seeing a SYN to deal with window scaling. Also change logging of invalid packets not to log packets accepted by liberal tracking to avoid spamming the logs.

2006-09-22[NET]: Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL/CHECKSUM_COMPLETEPatrick McHardy
Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (for outgoing packets, whose checksum still needs to be completed) and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (for incoming packets, device supplied full checksum).

2006-01-10[NETFILTER]: Fix timeout sysctls on big-endian 64bit architecturesPatrick McHardy
The connection tracking timeout variables are unsigned long, but proc_dointvec_jiffies is used with sizeof(unsigned int) in the sysctl tables. Since there is no proc_doulongvec_jiffies function, change the timeout variables to unsigned int. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-12-05[NETFILTER]: Fix unbalanced read_unlock_bh in ctnetlinkPatrick McHardy
NFA_NEST calls NFA_PUT which jumps to nfattr_failure if the skb has no room left. We call read_unlock_bh at nfattr_failure for the NFA_PUT inside the locked section, so move NFA_NEST inside the locked section too.

2005-12-01[NETFILTER]: Ignore ACKs ACKs on half open connections in TCP conntrackJozsef Kadlecsik
Mounting NFS file systems after a (warm) reboot could take a long time if firewalling and connection tracking was enabled. The reason is that the NFS clients tends to use the same ports (800 and counting down). Now on reboot, the server would still have a TCB for an existing TCP connection client:800 -> server:2049. The client sends a SYN from port 800 to server:2049, which elicits an ACK from the server. The firewall on the client drops the ACK because (from its point of view) the connection is still in half-open state, and it expects to see a SYNACK. The client will eventually time out after several minutes. The following patch corrects this, by accepting ACKs on half open connections as well.

2005-11-29[NET]: Add const markers to various variables.Arjan van de Ven
the patch below marks various variables const in net/; the goal is to move them to the .rodata section so that they can't false-share cachelines with things that get written to, as well as potentially helping gcc a bit with optimisations.

2005-11-12[NETFILTER] {ip,nf}_conntrack TCP: Accept SYN+PUSH like SYNVlad Drukker
Some devices (e.g. Qlogic iSCSI HBA hardware like QLA4010 up to firmware 3.0.0.4) initiates TCP with SYN and PUSH flags set. The Linux TCP/IP stack deals fine with that, but the connection tracking code doesn't. This patch alters TCP connection tracking to accept SYN+PUSH as a valid flag combination.

2005-11-09[NETFILTER] ctnetlink: check if protoinfo is presentPablo Neira Ayuso
This fixes an oops triggered from userspace. If we don't pass information about the private protocol info, the reference to attr will be NULL. This is likely to happen in update messages.

2005-11-09[NETFILTER] nfnetlink: nfattr_parse() can never fail, make it voidHarald Welte
nfattr_parse (and thus nfattr_parse_nested) always returns success. So we can make them 'void' and remove all the checking at the caller side.

2005-10-10[NETFILTER] ctnetlink: allow userspace to change TCP statePablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the ability of changing the state a TCP connection. I know that this must be used with care but it's required to provide a complete conntrack creation via conntrack_netlink.

2005-10-10[NETFILTER] ctnetlink: add one nesting level for TCP statePablo Neira Ayuso
To keep consistency, the TCP private protocol information is nested attributes under CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP.

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: Extend netfilter logging APIHarald Welte
This patch is in preparation to nfnetlink_log: - loggers now have to register struct nf_logger instead of nf_logfn - nf_log_unregister() replaced by nf_log_unregister_pf() and nf_log_unregister_logger() - add comment to ip[6]t_LOG.h to assure nobody redefines flags - add /proc/net/netfilter/nf_log to tell user which logger is currently registered for which address family - if user has configured logging, but no logging backend (logger) is available, always spit a message to syslog, not just the first time. - split ip[6]t_LOG.c into two parts: Backend: Always try to register as logger for the respective address family Frontend: Always log via nf_log_packet() API - modify all users of nf_log_packet() to accomodate additional argument Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: Add ctnetlink subsystemHarald Welte
Add ctnetlink subsystem for userspace-access to ip_conntrack table. This allows reading and updating of existing entries, as well as creating new ones (and new expect's) via nfnetlink. Please note the 'strange' byte order: nfattr (tag+length) are in host byte order, while the payload is always guaranteed to be in network byte order. This allows a simple userspace process to encapsulate netlink messages into arch-independent udp packets by just processing/swapping the headers and not knowing anything about the actual payload.

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: connection tracking event notifiersHarald Welte
This adds a notifier chain based event mechanism for ip_conntrack state changes. As opposed to the previous implementations in patch-o-matic, we do no longer need a field in the skb to achieve this.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
