mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.6-rc3 commit 6a757c07e51f80ac34325fcd558490d2d1439e1b category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I63OS1 CVE: NA
--------------------------------
This patch further relaxes the need to drop an skb due to a clash with an existing conntrack entry.
Current clash resolution handles the case where the clash occurs between two identical entries (distinct nf_conn objects with same tuples), i.e.:
Original Reply existing: 10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53 10.2.3.4:42 <- 10.0.0.6:5353 clashing: 10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53 10.2.3.4:42 <- 10.0.0.6:5353
... existing handling will discard the unconfirmed clashing entry and makes skb->_nfct point to the existing one. The skb can then be processed normally just as if the clash would not have existed in the first place.
For other clashes, the skb needs to be dropped. This frequently happens with DNS resolvers that send A and AAAA queries back-to-back when NAT rules are present that cause packets to get different DNAT transformations applied, for example:
-m statistics --mode random ... -j DNAT --dnat-to 10.0.0.6:5353 -m statistics --mode random ... -j DNAT --dnat-to 10.0.0.7:5353
In this case the A or AAAA query is dropped which incurs a costly delay during name resolution.
This patch also allows this collision type: Original Reply existing: 10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53 10.2.3.4:42 <- 10.0.0.6:5353 clashing: 10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53 10.2.3.4:42 <- 10.0.0.7:5353
In this case, clash is in original direction -- the reply direction is still unique.
The change makes it so that when the 2nd colliding packet is received, the clashing conntrack is tagged with new IPS_NAT_CLASH_BIT, gets a fixed 1 second timeout and is inserted in the reply direction only.
The entry is hidden from 'conntrack -L', it will time out quickly and it can be early dropped because it will never progress to the ASSURED state.
To avoid special-casing the delete code path to special case the ORIGINAL hlist_nulls node, a new helper, "hlist_nulls_add_fake", is added so hlist_nulls_del() will work.
Example:
CPU A: CPU B: 1. 10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53 (A) 2. 10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53 (AAAA) 3. Apply DNAT, reply changed to 10.0.0.6 4. 10.2.3.4:42 -> 10.8.8.8:53 (AAAA) 5. Apply DNAT, reply changed to 10.0.0.7 6. confirm/commit to conntrack table, no collisions 7. commit clashing entry
Reply comes in:
10.2.3.4:42 <- 10.0.0.6:5353 (A) -> Finds a conntrack, DNAT is reversed & packet forwarded to 10.2.3.4:42 10.2.3.4:42 <- 10.0.0.7:5353 (AAAA) -> Finds a conntrack, DNAT is reversed & packet forwarded to 10.2.3.4:42 The conntrack entry is deleted from table, as it has the NAT_CLASH bit set.
In case of a retransmit from ORIGINAL dir, all further packets will get the DNAT transformation to 10.0.0.6.
I tried to come up with other solutions but they all have worse problems.
Alternatives considered were: 1. Confirm ct entries at allocation time, not in postrouting. a. will cause uneccesarry work when the skb that creates the conntrack is dropped by ruleset. b. in case nat is applied, ct entry would need to be moved in the table, which requires another spinlock pair to be taken. c. breaks the 'unconfirmed entry is private to cpu' assumption: we would need to guard all nfct->ext allocation requests with ct->lock spinlock.
2. Make the unconfirmed list a hash table instead of a pcpu list. Shares drawback c) of the first alternative.
3. Document this is expected and force users to rearrange their ruleset (e.g. by using "-m cluster" instead of "-m statistics"). nft has the 'jhash' expression which can be used instead of 'numgen'.
Major drawback: doesn't fix what I consider a bug, not very realistic and I believe its reasonable to have the existing rulesets to 'just work'.
4. Document this is expected and force users to steer problematic packets to the same CPU -- this would serialize the "allocate new conntrack entry/nat table evaluation/perform nat/confirm entry", so no race can occur. Similar drawback to 3.
Another advantage of this patch compared to 1) and 2) is that there are no changes to the hot path; things are handled in the udp tracker and the clash resolution path.
