pernet tracking doesn't work correctly because other netns might have
set NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID on its event socket.
In this case its expected that events originating in other net
namespaces are also received.
Making pernet-tracking work while also honoring NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID
requires much more intrusive changes both in netlink and nfnetlink,
f.e. adding a 'setsockopt' callback that lets nfnetlink know that the
event socket entered (or left) ALL_NSID mode.
Move to global tracking instead: if there is an event socket anywhere
on the system, all net namespaces which have conntrack enabled and
use autobind mode will allocate the ecache extension.
netlink_has_listeners() returns false only if the given group has no
subscribers in any net namespace, the 'net' argument passed to
nfnetlink_has_listeners is only used to derive the protocol (nfnetlink),
it has no other effect.
For proper NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID-aware pernet tracking of event
listeners a new netlink_has_net_listeners() is also needed.

This adds the new nf_conntrack_events=2 mode and makes it the
default.
This leverages the earlier flag in struct net to allow to avoid
the event extension as long as no event listener is active in
the namespace.
This avoids, for most cases, allocation of ct->ext area.
A followup patch will take further advantage of this by avoiding
calls down into the event framework if the extension isn't present.

Only called when new ct is allocated or the extension isn't present.
This function will be extended, place this in the conntrack module
instead of inlining.
The callers already depend on nf_conntrack module.
Return value is changed to bool, noone used the returned pointer.
Make sure that the core drops the newly allocated conntrack
if the extension is requested but can't be added.
This makes it necessary to ifdef the section, as the stub
always returns false we'd drop every new conntrack if the
the ecache extension is disabled in kconfig.
Add from data path (xt_CT, nft_ct) is unchanged.

Its no longer needed. Entries that need event redelivery are placed
on the new pernet dying list.
The advantage is that there is no need to take additional spinlock on
conntrack removal unless event redelivery failed or the conntrack entry
was never added to the table in the first place (confirmed bit not set).
The IPS_CONFIRMED bit now needs to be set as soon as the entry has been
unlinked from the unconfirmed list, else the destroy function may
attempt to unlink it a second time.

This disentangles event redelivery and the percpu dying list.
Because entries are now stored on a dedicated list, all
entries are in NFCT_ECACHE_DESTROY_FAIL state and all entries
still have confirmed bit set -- the reference count is at least 1.
The 'struct net' back-pointer can be removed as well.
The pcpu dying list will be removed eventually, it has no functionality.

This is whats happening:
1. a conntrack entry is about to be confirmed (added to hash table).
2. a clash with existing entry is detected.
3. nf_ct_resolve_clash() puts skb->nfct (the "losing" entry).
4. this entry now has a refcount of 0 and is freed to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU
kmem cache.
skb->nfct has been replaced by the one found in the hash.
Problem is that nf_conntrack_confirm() uses the old ct:
static inline int nf_conntrack_confirm(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
struct nf_conn *ct = (struct nf_conn *)skb_nfct(skb);
int ret = NF_ACCEPT;

if (!nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct))
ret = __nf_conntrack_confirm(skb);
if (likely(ret == NF_ACCEPT))
nf_ct_deliver_cached_events(ct); /* This ct has refcount 0! */
}
return ret;
}
As of "netfilter: conntrack: free extension area immediately", we can't
access conntrack extensions in this case.
To fix this, make sure we check the dying bit presence before attempting
to get the eache extension.

1. Remove single !events condition check to deliver the missed event
even though there is no new event happened.
Consider this case:
1) nf_ct_deliver_cached_events is invoked at the first time, the
event is failed to deliver, then the missed is set.
2) nf_ct_deliver_cached_events is invoked again, but there is no
any new event happened.
The missed event is lost really.
It would try to send the missed event again after remove this check.
And it is ok if there is no missed event because the latter check
!((events | missed) & e->ctmask) could avoid it.
2. Correct the return value check of notify->fcn.
When send the event successfully, it returns 0, not postive value.

Otherwise, another CPU may access the invalid pointer. For example:
CPU0 CPU1
- rcu_read_lock();
- pfunc = _hook_;
_hook_ = NULL; -
mod unload -
- pfunc(); // invalid, panic
- rcu_read_unlock();
So we must call synchronize_rcu() to wait the rcu reader to finish.
Also note, in nf_nat_snmp_basic_fini, synchronize_rcu() will be invoked
by later nf_conntrack_helper_unregister, but I'm inclined to add a
explicit synchronize_rcu after set the nf_nat_snmp_hook to NULL. Depend
on such obscure assumptions is not a good idea.
Last, in nfnetlink_cttimeout, we use kfree_rcu to free the time object,
so in cttimeout_exit, invoking rcu_barrier() is not necessary at all,
remove it too.

The reliable event delivery mode currently (ab)uses the DYING bit to
detect which entries on the dying list have to be skipped when
re-delivering events from the eache worker in reliable event mode.
Currently when we delete the conntrack from main table we only set this
bit if we could also deliver the netlink destroy event to userspace.
If we fail we move it to the dying list, the ecache worker will
reattempt event delivery for all confirmed conntracks on the dying list
that do not have the DYING bit set.
Once timer is gone, we can no longer use if (del_timer()) to detect
when we 'stole' the reference count owned by the timer/hash entry, so
we need some other way to avoid racing with other cpu.
Pablo suggested to add a marker in the ecache extension that skips
entries that have been unhashed from main table but are still waiting
for the last reference count to be dropped (e.g. because one skb waiting
on nfqueue verdict still holds a reference).
We do this by adding a tristate.
If we fail to deliver the destroy event, make a note of this in the
eache extension. The worker can then skip all entries that are in
a different state. Either they never delivered a destroy event,
e.g. because the netlink backend was not loaded, or redelivery took
place already.
Once the conntrack timer is removed we will now be able to replace
del_timer() test with test_and_set_bit(DYING, &ct->status) to avoid
racing with other cpu that tries to evict the same conntrack.
Because DYING will then be set right before we report the destroy event
we can no longer skip event reporting when dying bit is set.

This brings the (per-conntrack) ecache extension back to 24 bytes in size
(was 152 byte on x86_64 with lockdep on).
When event delivery fails, re-delivery is attempted via work queue.
Redelivery is attempted at least every 0.1 seconds, but can happen
more frequently if userspace is not congested.
The nf_ct_release_dying_list() function is removed.
With this patch, ownership of the to-be-redelivered conntracks
(on-dying-list-with-DYING-bit not yet set) is with the work queue,
which will release the references once event is out.

This patch fixes an oops that can be triggered following this recipe:
0) make sure nf_conntrack_netlink and nf_conntrack_ipv4 are loaded.
1) container is started.
2) connect to it via lxc-console.
3) generate some traffic with the container to create some conntrack
entries in its table.
4) stop the container: you hit one oops because the conntrack table
cleanup tries to report the destroy event to user-space but the
per-netns nfnetlink socket has already gone (as the nfnetlink
socket is per-netns but event callback registration is global).
To fix this situation, we make the ctnl_notifier per-netns so the
callback is registered/unregistered if the container is
created/destroyed.
Alex Bligh and Alexey Dobriyan originally proposed one small patch to
check if the nfnetlink socket is gone in nfnetlink_has_listeners,
but this is a very visited path for events, thus, it may reduce
performance and it looks a bit hackish to check for the nfnetlink
socket only to workaround this situation. As a result, I decided
to follow the bigger path choice, which seems to look nicer to me.

For the following rule:
iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -j CT --ctevents assured
The event delivered looks like the following:
[UPDATE] tcp 6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=37041 dport=80 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=80 dport=37041 [ASSURED]
Note that the TCP protocol state is not included. For that reason
the CT event filtering is not very useful for conntrackd.
To resolve this issue, instead of conditionally setting the CT events
bits based on the ctmask, we always set them and perform the filtering
in the late stage, just before the delivery.
Thus, the event delivered looks like the following:
[UPDATE] tcp 6 432000 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=37041 dport=80 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=80 dport=37041 [ASSURED]
