  • When conntracks change during a dialog, SDP messages may be sent from
    different conntracks to establish expects with identical tuples. In this
    case expects conflict may be detected for the 2nd SDP message and end up
    with a process failure.

    The fixing here is to reuse an existing expect who has the same tuple for a
    different conntrack if any.

    Here are two scenarios for the case.

    1)
    SERVER CPE

    | INVITE SDP |
    5060 ||5060
    | 183 SDP |
    5060 |---------------------->|5060 ===> Conntrack 1
    | PRACK |
    50601 ||5060
    | 200 OK (INVITE) |
    5060 |---------------------->|5060
    | ACK |
    50601 ||
    | |
    | INVITE SDP (t38) |
    50601 |---------------------->|5060 ===> Conntrack 2

    With a certain configuration in the CPE, SIP messages "183 with SDP" and
    "re-INVITE with SDP t38" will go through the sip helper to create
    expects for RTP and RTCP.

    It is okay to create RTP and RTCP expects for "183", whose master
    connection source port is 5060, and destination port is 5060.

    In the "183" message, port in Contact header changes to 50601 (from the
    original 5060). So the following requests e.g. PRACK and ACK are sent to
    port 50601. It is a different conntrack (let call Conntrack 2) from the
    original INVITE (let call Conntrack 1) due to the port difference.

    In this example, after the call is established, there is RTP stream but no
    RTCP stream for Conntrack 1, so the RTP expect created upon "183" is
    cleared, and RTCP expect created for Conntrack 1 retains.

    When "re-INVITE with SDP t38" arrives to create RTP&RTCP expects, current
    ALG implementation will call nf_ct_expect_related() for RTP and RTCP. The
    expects tuples are identical to those for Conntrack 1. RTP expect for
    Conntrack 2 succeeds in creation as the one for Conntrack 1 has been
    removed. RTCP expect for Conntrack 2 fails in creation because it has
    idential tuples and 'conflict' with the one retained for Conntrack 1. And
    then result in a failure in processing of the re-INVITE.

    2)

    SERVER A CPE

    | REGISTER |
    5060 | CT1
    | 200 |
    5060 |------------------>| 5060
    | |
    | INVITE SDP(1) |
    5060 || 5060 SERVER B
    | ACK |
    5060 || 5060 ==> CT2
    | 100 |
    5060 || 50601 ==> CT3
    | |
    ||
    | |
    | BYE |
    5060 || 50601
    | INVITE SDP(3) |
    5060 | CT1

    CPE sends an INVITE request(1) to Server A, and creates a RTP&RTCP expect
    pair for this Conntrack 1 (CT1). Server A responds 300 to redirect to
    Server B. The RTP&RTCP expect pairs created on CT1 are removed upon 300
    response.

    CPE sends the INVITE request(2) to Server B, and creates an expect pair
    for the new conntrack (due to destination address difference), let call
    CT2. Server B changes the port to 50601 in 200 OK response, and the
    following requests ACK and BYE from CPE are sent to 50601. The call is
    established. There is RTP stream and no RTCP stream. So RTP expect is
    removed and RTCP expect for CT2 retains.

    As BYE request is sent from port 50601, it is another conntrack, let call
    CT3, different from CT2 due to the port difference. So the BYE request will
    not remove the RTCP expect for CT2.

    Then another outgoing call is made, with the same RTP port being used (not
    definitely but possibly). CPE firstly sends the INVITE request(3) to Server
    A, and tries to create a RTP&RTCP expect pairs for this CT1. In current ALG
    implementation, the RTCP expect for CT1 fails in creation because it
    'conflicts' with the residual one for CT2. As a result the INVITE request
    fails to send.

  • The Amanda CONNECT command has been updated to establish an optional
    fourth connection [0]. Previously, a CONNECT command would look like:

    CONNECT DATA port0 MESG port1 INDEX port2

    nf_conntrack_amanda analyses the CONNECT command string in order to
    learn the port numbers of the related DATA, MESG and INDEX streams. As
    of amanda v3.4, the CONNECT command can advertise an additional port:

    CONNECT DATA port0 MESG port1 INDEX port2 STATE port3

    The new STATE stream is not handled, thus the connection on the STATE
    port cannot be established.

    The patch adds support for STATE streams to the amanda conntrack helper.

    I tested with max_expected = 3, leaving the other patch hunks
    unmodified. Amanda reports "connection refused" and aborts. After I set
    max_expected to 4, the backup completes successfully.

  • amanda_helper, nf_conntrack_helper_ras and nf_conntrack_helper_q931 are
    all arrays, so we can use nf_conntrack_helpers_register to register
    the ct helper, this will help us to eliminate some "goto errX"
    statements.

    Also introduce h323_helper_init/exit helper function to register the ct
    helpers, this is prepared for the followup patch, which will add net
    namespace support for ct helper.

  • add a 32 byte scratch area in the helper struct instead of relying
    on variable sized helpers plus compile-time asserts to let us know
    if 32 bytes aren't enough anymore.

    Not having variable sized helpers will later allow to add BUILD_BUG_ON
    for the total size of conntrack extensions -- the helper extension is
    the only one that doesn't have a fixed size.

    The (useless!) NF_CT_HELPER_BUILD_BUG_ON(0); are added so that in case
    someone adds a new helper and copy-pastes from one that doesn't store
    private data at least some indication that this macro should be used
    somehow is there...

  • Although it is clear that textsearch state is intentionally passed to
    skb_find_text() as uninitialized argument, it was never used by the
    callers. Therefore, we can simplify skb_find_text() by making it
    local variable.

  • Add copyright statements to all netfilter files which have had significant
    changes done by myself in the past.

    Some notes:

    - nf_conntrack_ecache.c was incorrectly attributed to Rusty and Netfilter
    Core Team when it got split out of nf_conntrack_core.c. The copyrights
    even state a date which lies six years before it was written. It was
    written in 2005 by Harald and myself.

    - net/ipv{4,6}/netfilter.c, net/netfitler/nf_queue.c were missing copyright
    statements. I've added the copyright statement from net/netfilter/core.c,
    where this code originated

    - for nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c I've also added Jozsef, since I didn't want
    it to give the wrong impression

  • Connection tracking helpers have to drop packets under exceptional
    situations. Currently, the user gets the following logging message
    in case that happens:

    nf_ct_%s: dropping packet ...

    However, depending on the helper, there are different reasons why a
    packet can be dropped.

    This patch modifies the existing code to provide more specific
    error message in the scope of each helper to help users to debug
    the reason why the packet has been dropped, ie:

    nf_ct_%s: dropping packet: reason ...

    Thanks to Joe Perches for many formatting suggestions.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Introduce expectation classes and policies. An expectation class
    is used to distinguish different types of expectations by the
    same helper (for example audio/video/t.120). The expectation
    policy is used to hold the maximum number of expectations and
    the initial timeout for each class.

    The individual classes are isolated from each other, which means
    that for example an audio expectation will only evict other audio
    expectations.

  • Since conntrack currently allows to use masks for every bit of both
    helper and expectation tuples, we can't hash them and have to keep
    them on two global lists that are searched for every new connection.

    This patch removes the never used ability to use masks for the
    destination part of the expectation tuple and completely removes
    masks from helpers since the only reasonable choice is a full
    match on l3num, protonum and src.u.all.
