[PATCH net 0/7] Netfilter fixes for net

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

Hi,

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net:

1) Fix NAT support for NFPROTO_INET without layer 3 address,
   from Florian Westphal.

2) Use kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu) variant in nf_tables clean_net path.

3) Use list to collect flowtable hooks to be deleted.

4) Initialize list of hook field in flowtable transaction.

5) Release hooks on error for flowtable updates.

6) Memleak in hardware offload rule commit and abort paths.

7) Early bail out in case device does not support for hardware offload.
   This adds a new interface to net/core/flow_offload.c to check if the
   flow indirect block list is empty.

Please, pull these changes from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf.git

Thanks.

[PATCH net 1/7] netfilter: nat: really support inet nat without l3 address

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

When no l3 address is given, priv->family is set to NFPROTO_INET and
the evaluation function isn't called.

Call it too so l4-only rewrite can work.
Also add a test case for this.

Fixes: a33f387ecd5aa ("netfilter: nft_nat: allow to specify layer 4 protocol NAT only")

[PATCH net 2/7] netfilter: nf_tables: use kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu) to release hooks in clean_net path

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

Use kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu) variant instead as described by ae089831ff28
("netfilter: nf_tables: prefer kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu) variant").

[PATCH net 3/7] netfilter: nf_tables: delete flowtable hooks via transaction list

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

Remove inactive bool field in nft_hook object that was introduced in
abadb2f865d7 ("netfilter: nf_tables: delete devices from flowtable").
Move stale flowtable hooks to transaction list instead.

Deleting twice the same device does not result in ENOENT.

The hook list is used if nft_trans_flowtable_update(trans) == true. However,
initialize this list for other cases for safety reasons.

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

If user requests for NFT_CHAIN_HW_OFFLOAD, then check if either device
provides the .ndo_setup_tc interface or there is an indirect flow block
that has been registered. Otherwise, bail out early from the preparation
phase. Moreover, validate that family == NFPROTO_NETDEV and hook is
NF_NETDEV_INGRESS.

The whole series is pretty light on the "why". This patch is

  - [net,1/7] netfilter: nat: really support inet nat without l3 address
    https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net/c/282e5f8fe907

  This is a fix, otherwise NAT with the inet family (which allows both
  IPv4 and IPv6 traffic) remains broken. It's a datapath fix, the
  control plane was accepting the rule, however NAT was not applied if
  user specified no layer 4 address, which might happen for, eg. redirect.

  - [net,2/7] netfilter: nf_tables: use kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu) to release hooks in clean_net path
    https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net/c/ab5e5c062f67

  This is an incremental fix for f9a43007d3f7 ("netfilter: nf_tables:
  double hook unregistration in netns path"), it is using kfree_rcu(ptr)
  variant which works but it has some limitations. Use of free_rcu(ptr)
  was not intentional, hence free_rcu(ptr, rcu)

  - [net,3/7] netfilter: nf_tables: delete flowtable hooks via transaction list
    https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net/c/b6d9014a3335

  Deleting twice the same device on the flowtable might lead to ENOENT
  since hook->inactive is not honored. Instead of honoring such flag,
  this patch is fixing up this by using a flowtable hook list in the
  transaction object to convey the hook that are going to be deleted
  which looks cleaner to me.

  - [net,4/7] netfilter: nf_tables: always initialize flowtable hook list in transaction
    https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net/c/2c9e4559773c

  This is a oneliner, not urgent but Florian already reported in the
  past that the flowtable hook list in the transaction object was not
  initialized (even if not used). This patch initializes it to
  increase robustness, this list is going to be empty/unused for the
  non-update path anyway. Arguably I could have postpone this
  oneliner.

  - [net,5/7] netfilter: nf_tables: release new hooks on unsupported flowtable flags
    https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net/c/c271cc9febaa

  This is a fix. nft_flowtable_parse_hook() populates the hook list,
  but the flowtable flags update logic was not releasing these objects
  from the error path, hence, leading to a memleak.

  - [net,6/7] netfilter: nf_tables: memleak flow rule from commit path
    https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net/c/9dd732e0bdf5

  kmemleak reported this memleak while running a series of test with
  nf_tables hardware offload support for these objects, this is a fix.

  Are you refering to this?

  - [net,7/7] netfilter: nf_tables: bail out early if hardware offload is not supported
    https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net/c/3a41c64d9c11

  Arguably, I could have postponed this patch, but quite recently
  there was a silly bug in the hardware offload infrastructure, see
  b1a5983f56e3 ("netfilter: nf_tables_offload: incorrect flow offload
  action array size. The reporter triggered the bug with the _loopback
  interface_, he wondered why this infrastructure is exposed to all
  devices while only a dozen of NICs support hardware offload, hence
  this patch to disable hardware offload earlier in the control plane
  path.
