0f598f0b4c netfilter: ipset: fix compiler warnings "'hash_ip4_data_next' declared inline after being called"
Some gcc versions warn about prototypes without "inline" when the declaration
includes the "inline" keyword. The fix generates a false error message
"marked inline, but without a definition" with sparse below 0.4.2.

89dc79b787 netfilter: ipset: hash:net,iface fixed to handle overlapping nets behind different interfaces
If overlapping networks with different interfaces was added to
the set, the type did not handle it properly. Example

    ipset create test hash:net,iface
    ipset add test 192.168.0.0/16,eth0
    ipset add test 192.168.0.0/24,eth1

Now, if a packet was sent from 192.168.0.0/24,eth0, the type returned
a match.

In the patch the algorithm is fixed in order to correctly handle
overlapping networks.

Limitation: the same network cannot be stored with more than 64 different
interfaces in a single set.

97d32cf944 netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: batch verdict support
Introduces a new nfnetlink type that applies a given
verdict to all queued packets with an id <= the id in the verdict
message.

If a mark is provided it is applied to all matched packets.

This reduces the number of verdicts that have to be sent.
Applications that make use of this feature need to maintain
a timeout to send a batchverdict periodically to avoid starvation.

Goal of this patch is to permit nfnetlink providers not mandate
nfnl_mutex being held while nfnetlink_rcv_msg() calls them.

If struct nfnl_callback contains a non NULL call_rcu(), then
nfnetlink_rcv_msg() will use it instead of call() field, holding
rcu_read_lock instead of nfnl_mutex

7f5c6d4f66 netfilter: get rid of atomic ops in fast path
We currently use a percpu spinlock to 'protect' rule bytes/packets
counters, after various attempts to use RCU instead.

Lately we added a seqlock so that get_counters() can run without
blocking BH or 'writers'. But we really only need the seqcount in it.

Spinlock itself is only locked by the current/owner cpu, so we can
remove it completely.

This cleanups api, using correct 'writer' vs 'reader' semantic.

At replace time, the get_counters() call makes sure all cpus are done
using the old table.

without and with timeout. The sets has two sides: for the userspace,
they store the names of other (non list:set type of) sets: one can add,
delete and test set names. For the kernel, it forms an ordered union of
the member sets: the members sets are tried in order when elements are
added, deleted and tested and the process stops at the first success.

6c02788969 netfilter: ipset: hash:ip set type support
The module implements the hash:ip type support in four flavours:
for IPv4 or IPv6, both without and with timeout support.

All the hash types are based on the "array hash" or ahash structure
and functions as a good compromise between minimal memory footprint
and speed. The hashing uses arrays to resolve clashes. The hash table
is resized (doubled) when searching becomes too long. Resizing can be
triggered by userspace add commands only and those are serialized by
the nfnl mutex. During resizing the set is read-locked, so the only
possible concurrent operations are the kernel side readers. Those are
protected by RCU locking.

Because of the four flavours and the other hash types, the functions
are implemented in general forms in the ip_set_ahash.h header file
and the real functions are generated before compiling by macro expansion.
Thus the dereferencing of low-level functions and void pointer arguments
could be avoided: the low-level functions are inlined, the function
arguments are pointers of type-specific structures.

In order not to waste memory, the timeout version does not rely on

collection. All set types use this mechanism.

a7b4f989a6 netfilter: ipset: IP set core support
The patch adds the IP set core support to the kernel.

The IP set core implements a netlink (nfnetlink) based protocol by which
one can create, destroy, flush, rename, swap, list, save, restore sets,
and add, delete, test elements from userspace. For simplicity (and backward
compatibilty and for not to force ip(6)tables to be linked with a netlink
library) reasons a small getsockopt-based protocol is also kept in order
to communicate with the ip(6)tables match and target.

The netlink protocol passes all u16, etc values in network order with
NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flag. The protocol enforces the proper use of the
NLA_F_NESTED and NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flags.

For other kernel subsystems (netfilter match and target) the API contains
the functions to add, delete and test elements in sets and the required calls
to get/put refereces to the sets before those operations can be performed.

The set types (which are implemented in independent modules) are stored
in a simple RCU protected list. A set type may have variants: for example
without timeout or with timeout support, for IPv4 or for IPv6. The sets
(i.e. the pointers to the sets) are stored in an array. The sets are
identified by their index in the array, which makes possible easy and
fast swapping of sets. The array is protected indirectly by the nfnl
mutex from nfnetlink. The content of the sets are protected by the rwlock
of the set.

There are functional differences between the add/del/test functions
for the kernel and userspace:

- kernel add/del/test: works on the current packet (i.e. one element)
- kernel test: may trigger an "add" operation  in order to fill
  out unspecified parts of the element from the packet (like MAC address)
- userspace add/del: works on the netlink message and thus possibly
  on multiple elements from the IPSET_ATTR_ADT container attribute.
- userspace add: may trigger resizing of a set

two 64-bits variables to store the creation timestamp once the
conntrack has been confirmed and the other to store the deletion
time. This extension is disabled by default, to enable it, you
have to:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp

This patch allows to save memory for user-space flow-based
loogers such as ulogd2. In short, ulogd2 does not need to
keep a hashtable with the conntrack in user-space to know
when they were created and destroyed, instead we use the
kernel timestamp. If we want to have a sane IPFIX implementation
in user-space, this nanosecs resolution timestamps are also
useful. Other custom user-space applications can benefit from
this via libnetfilter_conntrack.

This patch modifies the /proc output to display the delta time
in seconds since the flow start. You can also obtain the
flow-start date by means of the conntrack-tools.

93557f53e1 netfilter: nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack snmp helper
Adding support for SNMP broadcast connection tracking. The SNMP
broadcast requests are now paired with the SNMP responses.
Thus allowing using SNMP broadcasts with firewall enabled.

Please refer to the following conversation:
http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=125992205006600&w=2

This patch implements the "second best choice".

Since the netbios-ns conntrack module uses the same helper
functionality as the snmp, only one helper function is added
for both snmp and netbios-ns modules into the new object -
nf_conntrack_broadcast.
