Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example
for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following
example:

<example>
On HOSTA do:
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT

and on HOSTB you do:
ping6 HOSTA -s2000 (MTU is 1500)

Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does
not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen)
</example>

As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use
reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side
effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams
dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed.

Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c
entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.

TCP listener refactoring, part 4 :

To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct
sock_common

Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast
lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV.

Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache
lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall).

inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6

This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4,
we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6,
it's not doable easily.

inet6_sk(sk)->daddr becomes sk->sk_v6_daddr
inet6_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr becomes sk->sk_v6_rcv_saddr

And timewait socket also have tw->tw_v6_daddr & tw->tw_v6_rcv_saddr
at the same offset.

We get rid of INET6_TW_MATCH() as INET6_MATCH() is now the generic
macro.

Split out sequence number adjustments from NAT and move them to the conntrack
core to make them usable for SYN proxying. The sequence number adjustment
information is moved to a seperate extend. The extend is added to new
conntracks when a NAT mapping is set up for a connection using a helper.

As a side effect, this saves 24 bytes per connection with NAT in the common
case that a connection does not have a helper assigned.

In commit 4cdd3408 ("netfilter: nf_conntrack_ipv6: improve fragmentation
handling"), an sk_buff leak was introduced when dealing with reassembled
packets by grabbing a reference to the original skb instead of the
reassembled skb. At this point, the leak only impacted conntracks with an
associated helper.

In commit 58a317f1 ("netfilter: ipv6: add IPv6 NAT support"), the bug was
expanded to include all reassembled packets with unconfirmed conntracks.

Fix this by grabbing a reference to the proper reassembled skb. This
closes netfilter bugzilla #823.

Connection tracking helpers have to drop packets under exceptional
situations. Currently, the user gets the following logging message
in case that happens:

nf_ct_%s: dropping packet ...

However, depending on the helper, there are different reasons why a
packet can be dropped.

This patch modifies the existing code to provide more specific
error message in the scope of each helper to help users to debug
the reason why the packet has been dropped, ie:

nf_ct_%s: dropping packet: reason ...

ICMPv6 error messages are tracked by extracting the conntrack tuple of
the inner packet and looking up the corresponding conntrack entry. Tuple
extraction uses the ->get_l4proto() callback, which in case of fragments
returns NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT instead of the upper protocol, even for the
first fragment when the entire next header is present, resulting in a
failure to find the correct connection tracking entry.

This patch changes ipv6_get_l4proto() to use ipv6_skip_exthdr() instead
of nf_ct_ipv6_skip_exthdr() in order to skip fragment headers when the
fragment offset is zero.

4cdd34084d539c758d00c5dc7bf95db2e4f2bc70 26-Aug-2012 Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> netfilter: nf_conntrack_ipv6: improve fragmentation handling

The IPv6 conntrack fragmentation currently has a couple of shortcomings.
Fragmentes are collected in PREROUTING/OUTPUT, are defragmented, the
defragmented packet is then passed to conntrack, the resulting conntrack
information is attached to each original fragment and the fragments then
continue their way through the stack.

Helper invocation occurs in the POSTROUTING hook, at which point only
the original fragments are available. The result of this is that
fragmented packets are never passed to helpers.

This patch improves the situation in the following way:

- If a reassembled packet belongs to a connection that has a helper
assigned, the reassembled packet is passed through the stack instead
of the original fragments.

- During defragmentation, the largest received fragment size is stored.
On output, the packet is refragmented if required. If the largest
received fragment size exceeds the outgoing MTU, a "packet too big"
message is generated, thus behaving as if the original fragments
were passed through the stack from an outside point of view.

- The ipv6_helper() hook function can't receive fragments anymore for
connections using a helper, so it is switched to use ipv6_skip_exthdr()
instead of the netfilter specific nf_ct_ipv6_skip_exthdr() and the
reassembled packets are passed to connection tracking helpers.

The result of this is that we can properly track fragmented packets, but
still generate ICMPv6 Packet too big messages if we would have before.

This patch is also required as a precondition for IPv6 NAT, where NAT
helpers might enlarge packets up to a point that they require
fragmentation. In that case we can't generate Packet too big messages
since the proper MTU can't be calculated in all cases (f.i. when
changing textual representation of a variable amount of addresses),
so the packet is transparently fragmented iff the original packet or
fragments would have fit the outgoing MTU.

12f7a505331e6b2754684b509f2ac8f0011ce644 13-May-2012 Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> netfilter: add user-space connection tracking helper infrastructure

There are good reasons to supports helpers in user-space instead:

* Rapid connection tracking helper development, as developing code
in user-space is usually faster.

* Reliability: A buggy helper does not crash the kernel. Moreover,
we can monitor the helper process and restart it in case of problems.

* Security: Avoid complex string matching and mangling in kernel-space
running in privileged mode. Going further, we can even think about
running user-space helpers as a non-root process.

* Extensibility: It allows the development of very specific helpers (most
likely non-standard proprietary protocols) that are very likely not to be
accepted for mainline inclusion in the form of kernel-space connection
tracking helpers.

This patch adds the infrastructure to allow the implementation of
user-space conntrack helpers by means of the new nfnetlink subsystem
`nfnetlink_cthelper' and the existing queueing infrastructure
(nfnetlink_queue).

I had to add the new hook NF_IP6_PRI_CONNTRACK_HELPER to register
ipv[4|6]_helper which results from splitting ipv[4|6]_confirm into
two pieces. This change is required not to break NAT sequence
adjustment and conntrack confirmation for traffic that is enqueued
to our user-space conntrack helpers.

Basic operation, in a few steps:

1) Register user-space helper by means of `nfct':

nfct helper add ftp inet tcp

[ It must be a valid existing helper supported by conntrack-tools ]

2) Add rules to enable the FTP user-space helper which is
used to track traffic going to TCP port 21.

For locally generated packets:

iptables -I OUTPUT -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp

For non-locally generated packets:

iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp

3) Run the test conntrackd in helper mode (see example files under
doc/helper/conntrackd.conf

conntrackd

4) Generate FTP traffic going, if everything is OK, then conntrackd
should create expectations (you can check that with `conntrack':

conntrack -E expect

[NEW] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp
[DESTROY] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp

This confirms that our test helper is receiving packets including the
conntrack information, and adding expectations in kernel-space.

The user-space helper can also store its private tracking information
in the conntrack structure in the kernel via the CTA_HELP_INFO. The
kernel will consider this a binary blob whose layout is unknown. This
information will be included in the information that is transfered
to user-space via glue code that integrates nfnetlink_queue and
ctnetlink.

When fragments from bridge netfilter are passed to IPv4 or IPv6 conntrack
and a reassembly queue with the same fragment key already exists from
reassembling a similar packet received on a different device (f.i. with
multicasted fragments), the reassembled packet might continue on a different
codepath than where the head fragment originated. This can cause crashes
in bridge netfilter when a fragment received on a non-bridge device (and
thus with skb->nf_bridge == NULL) continues through the bridge netfilter
code.

Add a new reassembly identifier for packets originating from bridge
netfilter and use it to put those packets in insolated queues.

This patch moves all helper related data fields of 'struct nf_conn'

helper loaded.

Also, this patch cleans up the nf_conntrack 'features' mechanism to
resemble what the original idea was: Just glue the feature-specific
data structures at the end of 'struct nf_conn', and explicitly
re-calculate the pointer to it when needed rather than keeping
pointers around.

Saves 20 bytes per conntrack on my x86_64 box. A non-helped conntrack
is 276 bytes. We still need to save another 20 bytes in order to fit
into to target of 256bytes.

ip6_tables and arp_tables. In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.

o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers

Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the
choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that
could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol
(TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written.

In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3
protocol.

The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal
with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6,
which is also cured here. For example, these issues include:

1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in
ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate
in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP
messages

2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because
the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag"
(which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply
isn't feasible in ipv6

3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots
before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were
no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking
design

4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT

The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of
the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack
and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack
stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will
fully kill it off 6 months later.
