When using LVS-NAT and SIP persistence-egine over UDP, the following
limitations are present with current implementation:
1) To actually have load-balancing based on Call-ID header, you need to
use one-packet-scheduling mode. But with one-packet-scheduling the
connection is deleted just after packet is forwarded, so SIP responses
coming from real-servers do not match any connection and SNAT is
not applied.
2) If you do not use "-o" option, IPVS behaves as normal UDP load
balancer, so different SIP calls (each one identified by a different
Call-ID) coming from the same ip-address/port go to the same
real-server. So basically you don’t have load-balancing based on
Call-ID as intended.
3) Call-ID is not learned when a new SIP call is started by a real-server
(inside-to-outside direction), but only in the outside-to-inside
direction. This would be a general problem for all SIP servers acting
as Back2BackUserAgent.
This patch aims to solve problems 1) and 3) while keeping OPS mode
mandatory for SIP-UDP, so that 2) is not a problem anymore.
The basic mechanism implemented is to make packets, that do not match any
existent connection but come from real-servers, create new connections
instead of let them pass without any effect.
When such packets pass through ip_vs_out(), if their source ip address and
source port match a configured real-server, a new connection is
automatically created in the same way as it would have happened if the
packet had come from outside-to-inside direction. A new connection template
is created too if the virtual-service is persistent and there is no
matching connection template found. The new connection automatically
created, if the service had "-o" option, is an OPS connection that lasts
only the time to forward the packet, just like it happens on the
ingress side.
The main part of this mechanism is implemented inside a persistent-engine
specific callback (at the moment only SIP persistent engine exists) and
is triggered only for UDP packets, since connection oriented protocols, by
using different set of ports (typically ephemeral ports) to open new
outgoing connections, should not need this feature.
The following requisites are needed for automatic connection creation; if
any is missing the packet simply goes the same way as before.
a) virtual-service is not fwmark based (this is because fwmark services
do not store address and port of the virtual-service, required to
build the connection data).
b) virtual-service and real-servers must not have been configured with
omitted port (this is again to have all data to create the connection).

Jiri Bohac is reporting for a problem where the attempt
to reschedule existing connection to another real server
needs proper redirect for the conntrack used by the IPVS
connection. For example, when IPVS connection is created
to NAT-ed real server we alter the reply direction of
conntrack. If we later decide to select different real
server we can not alter again the conntrack. And if we
expire the old connection, the new connection is left
without conntrack.
So, the only way to redirect both the IPVS connection and
the Netfilter's conntrack is to drop the SYN packet that
hits existing connection, to wait for the next jiffie
to expire the old connection and its conntrack and to rely
on client's retransmission to create new connection as
usually.
Jiri Bohac provided a fix that drops all SYNs on rescheduling,
I extended his patch to do such drops only for connections
that use conntrack. Here is the original report from Jiri Bohac:
Since commit dc7b3eb900 ("ipvs: Fix reuse connection if real server
is dead"), new connections to dead servers are redistributed
immediately to new servers. The old connection is expired using
ip_vs_conn_expire_now() which sets the connection timer to expire
immediately.
However, before the timer callback, ip_vs_conn_expire(), is run
to clean the connection's conntrack entry, the new redistributed
connection may already be established and its conntrack removed
instead.
Fix this by dropping the first packet of the new connection
instead, like we do when the destination server is not available.
The timer will have deleted the old conntrack entry long before
the first packet of the new connection is retransmitted.
Fixes: dc7b3eb900 ("ipvs: Fix reuse connection if real server is dead")

Having to say
> #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
> struct net *net;
> #endif
in structures is a little bit wordy and a little bit error prone.
Instead it is possible to say:
> typedef struct {
> #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
> struct net *net;
> #endif
> } possible_net_t;
And then in a header say:
> possible_net_t net;
Which is cleaner and easier to use and easier to test, as the
possible_net_t is always there no matter what the compile options.
Further this allows read_pnet and write_pnet to be functions in all
cases which is better at catching typos.
This change adds possible_net_t, updates the definitions of read_pnet
and write_pnet, updates optional struct net * variables that
write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes
up the b0rked users of read_pnet and write_pnet.

Currently, when TCP/SCTP port reusing happens, IPVS will find the old
entry and use it for the new one, behaving like a forced persistence.
But if you consider a cluster with a heavy load of small connections,
such reuse will happen often and may lead to a not optimal load
balancing and might prevent a new node from getting a fair load.
This patch introduces a new sysctl, conn_reuse_mode, that allows
controlling how to proceed when port reuse is detected. The default
value will allow rescheduling of new connections only if the old entry
was in TIME_WAIT state for TCP or CLOSED for SCTP.

them in u64_stats_update_{begin,end} section
* In kernel use struct ip_vs_kstats instead of the user-space
struct ip_vs_stats_user and use new func ip_vs_export_stats_user
to export it to sockopt users to preserve compatibility with
32-bit values
* Rename cpu counters "ustats" to "cnt"
* To netlink users provide additionally 64-bit stats:
IPVS_SVC_ATTR_STATS64 and IPVS_DEST_ATTR_STATS64. Old stats
remain for old binaries.

This is necessary to support heterogeneous pools. For example, if you have

into it.
This patch enforces that destination address family is the same as service
family, as none of the forwarding mechanisms support anything else.
For the old setsockopt mechanism, we simply set the dest address family to
AF_INET as we do with the service.
