Added additional counters in a bat_stats structure, which are exported through the ethtool api. The counters are specific to batman-adv and includes: forwarded packets and bytes management packets and bytes (aggregated OGMs at this point) translation table packets New counters are added by extending "enum bat_counters" in types.h and adding corresponding descriptive string(s) to bat_counters_strings in soft-iface.c. Counters are increased by calling batadv_add_counter() and incremented by one by calling batadv_inc_counter().

In the code we neever need to atomically check and set the bat_priv->tt_crc field value. It is simply set and read once in different pieces of the code.

The hash for claim and backbone hash in the bridge loop avoidance code receive the same key because they are getting initialized by hash_new with the same key. Lockdep will create a backtrace when they are used recursively. This can be avoided by reinitializing the key directly after the hash_new. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

skb_linearize(skb) possibly rearranges the skb internal data and then changes the skb->data pointer value. For this reason any other pointer in the code that was assigned skb->data before invoking skb_linearise(skb) must be re-assigned. In the current tt_query message handling code this is not done and therefore, in case of skb linearization, the pointer used to handle the packet header ends up in pointing to poisoned memory. The packet is then dropped but the translation-table mechanism is corrupted.

Pablo says: ==================== This is the second batch of Netfilter updates for net-next. It contains the kernel changes for the new user-space connection tracking helper infrastructure. More details on this infrastructure are provides here: http://lwn.net/Articles/500196/ Still, I plan to provide some official documentation through the conntrack-tools user manual on how to setup user-space utilities for this. So far, it provides two helper in user-space, one for NFSv3 and another for Oracle/SQLnet/TNS. Yet in my TODO list. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There are good reasons to supports helpers in user-space instead: * Rapid connection tracking helper development, as developing code in user-space is usually faster. * Reliability: A buggy helper does not crash the kernel. Moreover, we can monitor the helper process and restart it in case of problems. * Security: Avoid complex string matching and mangling in kernel-space running in privileged mode. Going further, we can even think about running user-space helpers as a non-root process. * Extensibility: It allows the development of very specific helpers (most likely non-standard proprietary protocols) that are very likely not to be accepted for mainline inclusion in the form of kernel-space connection tracking helpers. This patch adds the infrastructure to allow the implementation of user-space conntrack helpers by means of the new nfnetlink subsystem `nfnetlink_cthelper' and the existing queueing infrastructure (nfnetlink_queue). I had to add the new hook NF_IP6_PRI_CONNTRACK_HELPER to register ipv[4|6]_helper which results from splitting ipv[4|6]_confirm into two pieces. This change is required not to break NAT sequence adjustment and conntrack confirmation for traffic that is enqueued to our user-space conntrack helpers. Basic operation, in a few steps: 1) Register user-space helper by means of `nfct': nfct helper add ftp inet tcp [ It must be a valid existing helper supported by conntrack-tools ] 2) Add rules to enable the FTP user-space helper which is used to track traffic going to TCP port 21. For locally generated packets: iptables -I OUTPUT -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp For non-locally generated packets: iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp 3) Run the test conntrackd in helper mode (see example files under doc/helper/conntrackd.conf conntrackd 4) Generate FTP traffic going, if everything is OK, then conntrackd should create expectations (you can check that with `conntrack': conntrack -E expect [NEW] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp [DESTROY] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp This confirms that our test helper is receiving packets including the conntrack information, and adding expectations in kernel-space. The user-space helper can also store its private tracking information in the conntrack structure in the kernel via the CTA_HELP_INFO. The kernel will consider this a binary blob whose layout is unknown. This information will be included in the information that is transfered to user-space via glue code that integrates nfnetlink_queue and ctnetlink.

User-space programs that receive traffic via NFQUEUE may mangle packets. If NAT is enabled, this usually puzzles sequence tracking, leading to traffic disruptions. With this patch, nfnl_queue will make the corresponding NAT TCP sequence adjustment if: 1) The packet has been mangled, 2) the NFQA_CFG_F_CONNTRACK flag has been set, and 3) NAT is detected. There are some records on the Internet complaning about this issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/260757/packet-mangling-utilities-besides-iptables By now, we only support TCP since we have no helpers for DCCP or SCTP. Better to add this if we ever have some helper over those layer 4 protocols. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

This patch allows you to include the conntrack information together with the packet that is sent to user-space via NFQUEUE. Previously, there was no integration between ctnetlink and nfnetlink_queue. If you wanted to access conntrack information from your libnetfilter_queue program, you required to query ctnetlink from user-space to obtain it. Thus, delaying the packet processing even more. Including the conntrack information is optional, you can set it via NFQA_CFG_F_CONNTRACK flag with the new NFQA_CFG_FLAGS attribute. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

This patch uses the new variable length conntrack extensions. Instead of using union nf_conntrack_help that contain all the helper private data information, we allocate variable length area to store the private helper data. This patch includes the modification of all existing helpers. It also includes a couple of include header to avoid compilation warnings. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

This patch modifies the struct nf_conntrack_helper to allocate the room for the helper name. The maximum length is 16 bytes (this was already introduced in 2.6.24). For the maximum length for expectation policy names, I have also selected 16 bytes. This patch is required by the follow-up patch to support user-space connection tracking helpers.

/proc/net/ipv6_route reflects the contents of fib_table_hash. The proc handler is installed in ip6_route_net_init() whereas fib_table_hash is allocated in fib6_net_init() _after_ the proc handler has been installed. This opens up a short time frame to access fib_table_hash with its pants down. fib6_init() as a whole can't be moved to an earlier position as it also registers the rtnetlink message handlers which should be registered at the end. Therefore split it into fib6_init() which is run early and fib6_init_late() to register the rtnetlink message handlers.

Orphaning skb in dev_hard_start_xmit() makes bonding behavior unfriendly for applications sending big UDP bursts : Once packets pass the bonding device and come to real device, they might hit a full qdisc and be dropped. Without orphaning, the sender is automatically throttled because sk->sk_wmemalloc reaches sk->sk_sndbuf (assuming sk_sndbuf is not too big) We could try to defer the orphaning adding another test in dev_hard_start_xmit(), but all this seems of little gain, now that BQL tends to make packets more likely to be parked in Qdisc queues instead of NIC TX ring, in cases where performance matters.

A full size GSO packet, with data included in skb->head really needs (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 4) BDs, because of bnx2x_tx_split() This error triggers if BQL is disabled and heavy TCP transmit traffic occurs. bnx2x_tx_split() definitely can be called, remove a wrong comment.

One tricky issue on the ipv6 side vs. ipv4 is that the ICMP callouts to handle the error pass the 32-bit info cookie in network byte order whereas ipv4 passes it around in host byte order. Like the ipv4 side, we have two helper functions. One for when we have a socket context and one for when we do not. ip6ip6 tunnels are not handled here, because they handle PMTU events by essentially relaying another ICMP packet-too-big message back to the original sender. This patch allows us to get rid of rt6_do_pmtu_disc(). It handles all kinds of situations that simply cannot happen when we do the PMTU update directly using a fully resolved route. In fact, the "plen == 128" check in ip6_rt_update_pmtu() can very likely be removed or changed into a BUG_ON() check. We should never have a prefixed ipv6 route when we get there. Another piece of strange history here is that TCP and DCCP, unlike in ipv4, never invoke the update_pmtu() method from their ICMP error handlers. This is incredibly astonishing since this is the context where we have the most accurate context in which to make a PMTU update, namely we have a fully connected socket and associated cached socket route.

With ip_rt_frag_needed() removed, we have to explicitly update PMTU information in every ICMP error handler. Create two helper functions to facilitate this. 1) ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() This updates the PMTU when we have a socket context to work with. 2) ipv4_update_pmtu() Raw version, used when no socket context is available. For this interface, we essentially just pass in explicit arguments for the flow identity information we would have extracted from the socket. And you'll notice that ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() is simply implemented in terms of ipv4_update_pmtu() Note that __ip_route_output_key() is used, rather than something like ip_route_output_flow() or ip_route_output_key(). This is because we absolutely do not want to end up with a route that does IPSEC encapsulation and the like. Instead, we only want the route that would get us to the node described by the outermost IP header. Reported-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
