Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next,
this contains updates to address sashiko reports in IPVS and Netfilter
on possible pre-existing issues. This also includes a series to add
refcount for ct helper and timeout to deal with a corner case scenario
with unconfirmed conntracks flying to nfqueue.
1) Add a conn_max sysctl to IPVS to limit the maximum number of
connections, from Julian Anastasov.
2) Use get_unaligned_be16() to access TCP MSS in nfnetlink_osf,
from Fernando Fernandez Mancera.
3) Use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE to access helper flags from nfnetlink_helper.
Several patches for the synproxy infrastructure, from Fernando
Fernandez Mancera:
4) Drop packet if TCP timestamp adjustment fails.
5) Continue parsing of TCP timestamp to deal with possible duplicates.
6) Use {get,put}_unaligned_be32() to acess the TCP timestamp.
7) Hold ct->lock to initialize nf_ct_seqadj_init().
Updates for the ct timeout infrastructure, to deal with a corner case
for unconfirmed conntracks flying to nfqueue:
8) Add a refcount to track ct timeout policy use by ct extension,
release the timeout until the last ct extension drops the refcnt
on it.
Similar update for the ct helper infrastructure:
9) Dynamic allocation of ct helpers, as a preparation for adding
refcount to track ct extension use.
10) Move destroy_sibling_or_exp() to nf_conntrack_proto_gre, so
pptp conntrack helper module removal does not make this code
unreachable via the helper->destroy callback. This is another
dependency for the new refcount coming in this series.
11) Add a refcount to track use of it from the ct extension, then
ct helper and timeout is reachable to the connection until
it goes away.
12) Remove the genid infrastructure in ct extensions. The primary
goal was to detect that a ct extension such as ct timeout and
ct helper went stale for unconfirmed conntrack, either because
object or module was removed. This deactivates all ct extensions
though for this unconfirmed conntrack.
13) Call nf_ct_gre_keymap_destroy() if this is a master conntrack
with a pptp helper only.
sashiko.dev reports one more relevant issue when unsetting the helper
via ctnetlink that I will address in a follow up patch.
Then, two more assorted updates:
14) Avoid a unlikely underflow in bridge VLAN untag, only possible
if buggy bridge VLAN filtering is buggy, remove WARN_ON_ONCE
while at it. From David Carlier.
15) Use get_unaligned_be32() in nf_conntrack_tcp to access sack
extension, from Rosen Penev.
