This patch adds the NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag. This flag can
be used by unicast and broadcast listeners to avoid receiving
ENOBUFS errors.
Generally speaking, ENOBUFS errors are useful to notify two things
to the listener:
a) You may increase the receiver buffer size via setsockopt().
b) You have lost messages, you may be out of sync.
In some cases, ignoring ENOBUFS errors can be useful. For example:
a) nfnetlink_queue: this subsystem does not have any sort of resync
method and you can decide to ignore ENOBUFS once you have set a
given buffer size.
b) ctnetlink: you can use this together with the socket flag
NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR to stop getting ENOBUFS errors as
you do not need to resync (packets whose event are not delivered
are drop to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization).
Moreover, the use of NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS also reduces a "go up, go down"
effect in terms of performance which is due to the netlink congestion
control when the listener cannot back off. The effect is the following:
1) throughput rate goes up and netlink messages are inserted in the
receiver buffer.
2) Then, netlink buffer fills and overruns (set on nlk->state bit 0).
3) While the listener empties the receiver buffer, netlink keeps
dropping messages. Thus, throughput goes dramatically down.
4) Then, once the listener has emptied the buffer (nlk->state
bit 0 is set off), goto step 1.
This effect is easy to trigger with netlink broadcast under heavy
load, and it is more noticeable when using a big receiver buffer.
You can find some results in [1] that show this problem.
[1] http://1984.lsi.us.es/linux/netlink/
This patch also includes the use of sk_drop to account the number of
netlink messages drop due to overrun. This value is shown in
/proc/net/netlink.

Since the receive code should tolerate any incoming garbage, it
should be protected against a potential wraparound when manipulating
length values within incoming data.
block_len is unsigned, so a too large subtraction will cause a

We use RCU to defer freeing of conntrack structures. In DOS situation, RCU might
accumulate about 10.000 elements per CPU in its internal queues. To get accurate
conntrack counts (at the expense of slightly more RAM used), we might consider
conntrack counter not taking into account "about to be freed elements, waiting
in RCU queues". We thus decrement it in nf_conntrack_free(), not in the RCU
callback.

This patchs adds support of modification of the used logger via sysctl.
It can be used to change the logger to module that can not use the bind
operation (ipt_LOG and ipt_ULOG). For this purpose, it creates a
directory /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log which contains a file
per-protocol. The content of the file is the name current logger (NONE if
not set) and a logger can be setup by simply echoing its name to the file.
By echoing "NONE" to a /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/PROTO file, the
logger corresponding to this PROTO is set to NULL.

This patch adds the iptables cluster match. This match can be used
to deploy gateway and back-end load-sharing clusters. The cluster
can be composed of 32 nodes maximum (although I have only tested
this with two nodes, so I cannot tell what is the real scalability
limit of this solution in terms of cluster nodes).
Assuming that all the nodes see all packets (see below for an
example on how to do that if your switch does not allow this), the
cluster match decides if this node has to handle a packet given:
(jhash(source IP) % total_nodes) & node_mask
For related connections, the master conntrack is used. The following
is an example of its use to deploy a gateway cluster composed of two
nodes (where this is the node 1):
iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth1 -m cluster \
--cluster-total-nodes 2 --cluster-local-node 1 \
--cluster-proc-name eth1 -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff
iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth1 \
-m mark ! --mark 0xffff -j DROP
iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth2 -m cluster \
--cluster-total-nodes 2 --cluster-local-node 1 \
--cluster-proc-name eth2 -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff
iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth2 \
-m mark ! --mark 0xffff -j DROP
And the following commands to make all nodes see the same packets:
ip maddr add 01:00:5e:00:01:01 dev eth1
ip maddr add 01:00:5e:00:01:02 dev eth2
arptables -I OUTPUT -o eth1 --h-length 6 \
-j mangle --mangle-mac-s 01:00:5e:00:01:01
arptables -I INPUT -i eth1 --h-length 6 \
--destination-mac 01:00:5e:00:01:01 \
-j mangle --mangle-mac-d 00:zz:yy:xx:5a:27
arptables -I OUTPUT -o eth2 --h-length 6 \
-j mangle --mangle-mac-s 01:00:5e:00:01:02
arptables -I INPUT -i eth2 --h-length 6 \
--destination-mac 01:00:5e:00:01:02 \
-j mangle --mangle-mac-d 00:zz:yy:xx:5a:27
In the case of TCP connections, pickup facility has to be disabled
to avoid marking TCP ACK packets coming in the reply direction as
valid.
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_tcp_loose
BTW, some final notes:
* This match mangles the skbuff pkt_type in case that it detects
PACKET_MULTICAST for a non-multicast address. This may be done in
a PKTTYPE target for this sole purpose.
* This match supersedes the CLUSTERIP target.

This patch modifies nf_log to use a linked list of loggers for each
protocol. This list of loggers is read and write protected with a
mutex.
This patch separates registration and binding. To be used as
logging module, a module has to register calling nf_log_register()
and to bind to a protocol it has to call nf_log_bind_pf().
This patch also converts the logging modules to the new API. For nfnetlink_log,
it simply switchs call to register functions to call to bind function and
adds a call to nf_log_register() during init. For other modules, it just
remove a const flag from the logger structure and replace it with a
__read_mostly.

The reader/writer lock in ip_tables is acquired in the critical path of
processing packets and is one of the reasons just loading iptables can cause
a 20% performance loss. The rwlock serves two functions:
1) it prevents changes to table state (xt_replace) while table is in use.
This is now handled by doing rcu on the xt_table. When table is
replaced, the new table(s) are put in and the old one table(s) are freed
after RCU period.
2) it provides synchronization when accesing the counter values.
This is now handled by swapping in new table_info entries for each cpu
then summing the old values, and putting the result back onto one
cpu. On a busy system it may cause sampling to occur at different
times on each cpu, but no packet/byte counts are lost in the process.
