Merge branch 'netfilter-vrf-rework'
Florian Westphal says: ==================== vrf: rework interaction with netfilter/conntrack V2: - fix 'plain integer as null pointer' warning - reword commit message in patch 2 to clarify loss of 'ct set untracked' This patch series aims to solve the to-be-reverted change 09e856d5 ("vrf: Reset skb conntrack connection on VRF rcv") in a different way. Rather than have skbs pass through conntrack and nat hooks twice, suppress conntrack invocation if the conntrack/nat hook is called from the vrf driver. First patch deals with 'incoming connection' case: 1. suppress NAT transformations 2. skip conntrack confirmation NAT and conntrack confirmation is done when ip/ipv6 stack calls the postrouting hook. Second patch deals with local packets: in vrf driver, mark the skbs as 'untracked', so conntrack output hook ignores them. This skips all nat hooks as well. Afterwards, remove the untracked state again so the second round will pick them up. One alternative to the chosen implementation would be to add a 'caller id' field to 'struct nf_hook_state' and then use that, these patches use the more straightforward check of VRF flag on the state->out device. The two patches apply to both net and net-next, i am targeting -next because I think that since snat did not work correctly for so long that we can take the longer route. If you disagree, apply to net at your discretion. The patches apply both with 09e856d5 reverted or still in-place, but only with the revert in place ingress conntrack settings (zone, notrack etc) start working again. I've already submitted selftests for vrf+nfqueue and conntrack+vrf. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
