netfilter: don't call hooks unless needed

2016-03-02T19:05:26Z

With the previous patches in place, a netns nf_hook_list might be empty, even if e.g. init_net performs filtering. Thus change nf_hook_thresh to check the hook_list as well before initializing hook_state and calling nf_hook_slow(). We still make use of static keys; if no netfilter modules are loaded list is guaranteed to be empty. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: turn NF_HOOK into an inline function

2015-10-16T16:45:36Z

A recent change to the dst_output handling caused a new warning when the call to NF_HOOK() is the only used of a local variable passed as 'dev', and CONFIG_NETFILTER is disabled: net/ipv6/ip6_output.c: In function 'ip6_output': net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:135:21: warning: unused variable 'dev' [-Wunused-variable] The reason for this is that the NF_HOOK macro in this case does not reference the variable at all, and the call to dev_net(dev) got removed from the ip6_output function. To avoid that warning now and in the future, this changes the macro into an equivalent inline function, which tells the compiler that the variable is passed correctly but still unused. The dn_forward function apparently had the same problem in the past and added a local workaround that no longer works with the inline function. In order to avoid a regression, we have to also remove the #ifdef from decnet in the same patch.

netfilter: remove hook owner refcounting

2015-10-16T16:21:39Z

since commit 8405a8fff3f8 ("netfilter: nf_qeueue: Drop queue entries on nf_unregister_hook") all pending queued entries are discarded. So we can simply remove all of the owner handling -- when module is removed it also needs to unregister all its hooks. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: ctnetlink: add const qualifier to nfnl_hook.get_ct

2015-10-05T15:32:13Z

get_ct as is and will not update its skb argument, and users of nfnl_ct_hook is currently only nfqueue, we can add const qualifier. Signed-off-by: Ken-ichirou MATSUZAWA

netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: rename related to nfqueue attaching conntrack info

2015-10-05T15:32:11Z

The idea of this series of patch is to attach conntrack information to nflog like nfqueue has already done. nfqueue conntrack info attaching basis is generic, rename those names to generic one, glue. Signed-off-by: Ken-ichirou MATSUZAWA Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: get rid of nfnetlink_queue_ct.c

2015-10-04T19:45:44Z

The original intention was to avoid dependencies between nfnetlink_queue and conntrack without ifdef pollution. However, we can achieve this by moving the conntrack dependent code into ctnetlink and keep some glue code to access the nfq_ct indirection from nfqueue. After this patch, the nfq_ct indirection is always compiled in the netfilter core to avoid polluting nfqueue with ifdefs. Thus, if nf_conntrack is not compiled this results in only 8-bytes of memory waste in x86_64. This patch also adds ctnetlink_nfqueue_seqadj() to avoid that the nf_conn structure layout if exposed to nf_queue, which creates another dependency with nf_conntrack at compilation time.

netfilter: Push struct net down into nf_afinfo.reroute

2015-09-29T18:21:31Z

The network namespace is needed when routing a packet. Stop making nf_afinfo.reroute guess which network namespace is the proper namespace to route the packet in. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: Pass priv instead of nf_hook_ops to netfilter hooks

2015-09-18T20:00:16Z

Only pass the void *priv parameter out of the nf_hook_ops. That is all any of the functions are interested now, and by limiting what is passed it becomes simpler to change implementation details. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: Pass net into okfn

2015-09-18T00:18:37Z

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that call into netfilter. Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process packets in. As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in many cases a code simplification. To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to simplify passing dst_output as an okfn. For the moment dst_output_okfn just silently drops the struct net. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

netfilter: Pass struct net into the netfilter hooks

2015-09-18T00:18:37Z

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks. At the call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to be easily and reliabily. This allows the replacement of magic code like "dev_net(state->in?:state->out)" that appears at the start of most netfilter hooks with "state->net". In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those paths will not see any changes in practice. The exceptions are: xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume() xs_net(skb_dst(skb)->xfrm) ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp) ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp) ipv4/raw.c:raw_send_hdrinc() sock_net(sk) ipv6/ip6_output.c:ip6_xmit() sock_net(sk) ipv6/ndisc.c:ndisc_send_skb() dev_net(skb->dev) not dev_net(dst->dev) ipv6/raw.c:raw6_send_hdrinc() sock_net(sk) br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb->dev) before skb->dev is set to nf_bridge->physindev In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic "dev_net(in?in:out)". I am documenting them in case something odd pops up and someone starts trying to track down what happened. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
