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nfct has been replaced by the one found in the hash.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 (ct) {
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.

Once ct->ext gets free'd via kfree() rather than kfree_rcu we can't
access the extension area anymore without owning the conntrack.
This is a special case:
The worker is walking the pcpu dying list while holding dying list lock:
Neither ct nor ct->ext can be free'd until after the walk has completed.

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.

Core Team when it got split out of nf_conntrack_core.c. The copyrights

- net/ipv{4,6}/netfilter.c, net/netfitler/nf_queue.c were missing copyright

- for nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c I've also added Jozsef, since I didn't want

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]

The CONFIG_PROVE_RCU option discovered a few invalid uses of
rcu_dereference() in netfilter. In all these cases, the code code
intends to check whether a pointer is already assigned when
performing registration or whether the assigned pointer matches
when performing unregistration. The entire registration/
unregistration is protected by a mutex, so we don't need the
rcu_dereference() calls.

implicit 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.

This patch improves ctnetlink event reliability if one broadcast
listener has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option.
The logic is the following: if an event delivery fails, we keep
the undelivered events in the missed event cache. Once the next
packet arrives, we add the new events (if any) to the missed
events in the cache and we try a new delivery, and so on. Thus,
if ctnetlink fails to deliver an event, we try to deliver them
once we see a new packet. Therefore, we may lose state
transitions but the userspace process gets in sync at some point.
At worst case, if no events were delivered to userspace, we make
sure that destroy events are successfully delivered. Basically,
if ctnetlink fails to deliver the destroy event, we remove the
conntrack entry from the hashes and we insert them in the dying
list, which contains inactive entries. Then, the conntrack timer
is added with an extra grace timeout of random32() % 15 seconds
to trigger the event again (this grace timeout is tunable via
/proc). The use of a limited random timeout value allows
distributing the "destroy" resends, thus, avoiding accumulating
lots "destroy" events at the same time. Event delivery may
re-order but we can identify them by means of the tuple plus
the conntrack ID.
The maximum number of conntrack entries (active or inactive) is
still handled by nf_conntrack_max. Thus, we may start dropping
packets at some point if we accumulate a lot of inactive conntrack
entries that did not successfully report the destroy event to
userspace.
During my stress tests consisting of setting a very small buffer
of 2048 bytes for conntrackd and the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket
flag, and generating lots of very small connections, I noticed
very few destroy entries on the fly waiting to be resend.
A simple way to test this patch consist of creating a lot of
entries, set a very small Netlink buffer in conntrackd (+ a patch
which is not in the git tree to set the BROADCAST_ERROR flag)
and invoke `conntrack -F'.
For expectations, no changes are introduced in this patch.
Currently, event delivery is only done for new expectations (no
events from expectation expiration, removal and confirmation).
In that case, they need a per-expectation event cache to implement
the same idea that is exposed in this patch.
This patch can be useful to provide reliable flow-accouting. We
still have to add a new conntrack extension to store the creation
and destroy time.

This patch reworks the per-cpu event caching to use the conntrack
extension infrastructure.
The main drawback is that we consume more memory per conntrack
if event delivery is enabled. This patch is required by the
reliable event delivery that follows to this patch.
BTW, this patch allows you to enable/disable event delivery via
/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_events in runtime, although
you can still disable event caching as compilation option.

This patch removes the notify chain infrastructure and replace it
by a simple function pointer. This issue has been mentioned in the
mailing list several times: the use of the notify chain adds
too much overhead for something that is only used by ctnetlink.
This patch also changes nfnetlink_send(). It seems that gfp_any()
returns GFP_KERNEL for user-context request, like those via
ctnetlink, inside the RCU read-side section which is not valid.
Using GFP_KERNEL is also evil since netlink may schedule(),
this leads to "scheduling while atomic" bug reports.

As for now, the creation and update of conntracks via ctnetlink do not
propagate an event to userspace. This can result in inconsistent situations
if several userspace processes modify the connection tracking table by means
of ctnetlink at the same time. Specifically, using the conntrack command
line tool and conntrackd at the same time can trigger unconsistencies.
This patch also modifies the event cache infrastructure to pass the
process PID and the ECHO flag to nfnetlink_send() to report back
to userspace if the process that triggered the change needs so.
Based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.

Heh, last minute proof-reading of this patch made me think,
that this is actually unneeded, simply because "ct" pointers will be
different for different conntracks in different netns, just like they
are different in one netns.
Not so sure anymore.
[Patrick: pointers will be different, flushing can only be done while
inactive though and thus it needs to be per netns]

Currently there is a wild mix of nf_conntrack_expect_, nf_ct_exp_,
expect_, exp_, ...
Consistently use nf_ct_ as prefix for exported functions.

- move EXPORT_SYMBOL next to exported symbol
- use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL since this is what the original code used

Rename 'struct nf_conntrack_protocol' to 'struct nf_conntrack_l4proto' in
order to help distinguish it from 'struct nf_conntrack_l3proto'. It gets
rather confusing with 'nf_conntrack_protocol'.
