openvswitch: Add conntrack action Expose the kernel connection tracker via OVS. Userspace components can make use of the CT action to populate the connection state (ct_state) field for a flow. This state can be subsequently matched. Exposed connection states are OVS_CS_F_*: - NEW (0x01) - Beginning of a new connection. - ESTABLISHED (0x02) - Part of an existing connection. - RELATED (0x04) - Related to an established connection. - INVALID (0x20) - Could not track the connection for this packet. - REPLY_DIR (0x40) - This packet is in the reply direction for the flow. - TRACKED (0x80) - This packet has been sent through conntrack. When the CT action is executed by itself, it will send the packet through the connection tracker and populate the ct_state field with one or more of the connection state flags above. The CT action will always set the TRACKED bit. When the COMMIT flag is passed to the conntrack action, this specifies that information about the connection should be stored. This allows subsequent packets for the same (or related) connections to be correlated with this connection. Sending subsequent packets for the connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR. The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the "ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id. IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the CT action. The maximum received unit (MRU) size is tracked so that refragmentation can occur during output. IP frag handling contributed by Andy Zhou. Based on original design by Justin Pettit.

openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace. For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace, they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max. In this case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries, it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the conntrack table. Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack entries. To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries per-zone. For example, we can designate different zone to different VM, and set conntrack limit to each zone. By providing this isolation, a mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and it will not influence other well-behaved VMs. Moreover, the users can set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference. The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend to count the number of connections in a particular zone. If the number of connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the userspace. If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to the behavior without this patch. The following high leve APIs are provided to the userspace: - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_SET: * set default connection limit for all zones * set the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_DEL: * remove the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_GET: * get the default connection limit for all zones * get the connection limit for a particular zone Signed-off-by: Yi-Hung Wei <yihung.wei@gmail.com> Acked-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@ovn.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

netfilter: add NAT support for shifted portmap ranges This is a patch proposal to support shifted ranges in portmaps. (i.e. tcp/udp incoming port 5000-5100 on WAN redirected to LAN 192.168.1.5:2000-2100) Currently DNAT only works for single port or identical port ranges. (i.e. ports 5000-5100 on WAN interface redirected to a LAN host while original destination port is not altered) When different port ranges are configured, either 'random' mode should be used, or else all incoming connections are mapped onto the first port in the redirect range. (in described example WAN:5000-5100 will all be mapped to 192.168.1.5:2000) This patch introduces a new mode indicated by flag NF_NAT_RANGE_PROTO_OFFSET which uses a base port value to calculate an offset with the destination port present in the incoming stream. That offset is then applied as index within the redirect port range (index modulo rangewidth to handle range overflow). In described example the base port would be 5000. An incoming stream with destination port 5004 would result in an offset value 4 which means that the NAT'ed stream will be using destination port 2004. Other possibilities include deterministic mapping of larger or multiple ranges to a smaller range : WAN:5000-5999 -> LAN:5000-5099 (maps WAN port 5*xx to port 51xx) This patch does not change any current behavior. It just adds new NAT proto range functionality which must be selected via the specific flag when intended to use. A patch for iptables (libipt_DNAT.c + libip6t_DNAT.c) will also be proposed which makes this functionality immediately available.

openvswitch: Add conntrack action Expose the kernel connection tracker via OVS. Userspace components can make use of the CT action to populate the connection state (ct_state) field for a flow. This state can be subsequently matched. Exposed connection states are OVS_CS_F_*: - NEW (0x01) - Beginning of a new connection. - ESTABLISHED (0x02) - Part of an existing connection. - RELATED (0x04) - Related to an established connection. - INVALID (0x20) - Could not track the connection for this packet. - REPLY_DIR (0x40) - This packet is in the reply direction for the flow. - TRACKED (0x80) - This packet has been sent through conntrack. When the CT action is executed by itself, it will send the packet through the connection tracker and populate the ct_state field with one or more of the connection state flags above. The CT action will always set the TRACKED bit. When the COMMIT flag is passed to the conntrack action, this specifies that information about the connection should be stored. This allows subsequent packets for the same (or related) connections to be correlated with this connection. Sending subsequent packets for the connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR. The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the "ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id. IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the CT action. The maximum received unit (MRU) size is tracked so that refragmentation can occur during output. IP frag handling contributed by Andy Zhou. Based on original design by Justin Pettit.

openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace. For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace, they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max. In this case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries, it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the conntrack table. Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack entries. To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries per-zone. For example, we can designate different zone to different VM, and set conntrack limit to each zone. By providing this isolation, a mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and it will not influence other well-behaved VMs. Moreover, the users can set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference. The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend to count the number of connections in a particular zone. If the number of connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the userspace. If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to the behavior without this patch. The following high leve APIs are provided to the userspace: - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_SET: * set default connection limit for all zones * set the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_DEL: * remove the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_GET: * get the default connection limit for all zones * get the connection limit for a particular zone Signed-off-by: Yi-Hung Wei <yihung.wei@gmail.com> Acked-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@ovn.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

openvswitch: Add original direction conntrack tuple to sw_flow_key. Add the fields of the conntrack original direction 5-tuple to struct sw_flow_key. The new fields are initially marked as non-existent, and are populated whenever a conntrack action is executed and either finds or generates a conntrack entry. This means that these fields exist for all packets that were not rejected by conntrack as untrackable. The original tuple fields in the sw_flow_key are filled from the original direction tuple of the conntrack entry relating to the current packet, or from the original direction tuple of the master conntrack entry, if the current conntrack entry has a master. Generally, expected connections of connections having an assigned helper (e.g., FTP), have a master conntrack entry. The main purpose of the new conntrack original tuple fields is to allow matching on them for policy decision purposes, with the premise that the admissibility of tracked connections reply packets (as well as original direction packets), and both direction packets of any related connections may be based on ACL rules applying to the master connection's original direction 5-tuple. This also makes it easier to make policy decisions when the actual packet headers might have been transformed by NAT, as the original direction 5-tuple represents the packet headers before any such transformation. When using the original direction 5-tuple the admissibility of return and/or related packets need not be based on the mere existence of a conntrack entry, allowing separation of admission policy from the established conntrack state. While existence of a conntrack entry is required for admission of the return or related packets, policy changes can render connections that were initially admitted to be rejected or dropped afterwards. If the admission of the return and related packets was based on mere conntrack state (e.g., connection being in an established state), a policy change that would make the connection rejected or dropped would need to find and delete all conntrack entries affected by such a change. When using the original direction 5-tuple matching the affected conntrack entries can be allowed to time out instead, as the established state of the connection would not need to be the basis for packet admission any more. It should be noted that the directionality of related connections may be the same or different than that of the master connection, and neither the original direction 5-tuple nor the conntrack state bits carry this information. If needed, the directionality of the master connection can be stored in master's conntrack mark or labels, which are automatically inherited by the expected related connections. The fact that neither ARP nor ND packets are trackable by conntrack allows mutual exclusion between ARP/ND and the new conntrack original tuple fields. Hence, the IP addresses are overlaid in union with ARP and ND fields. This allows the sw_flow_key to not grow much due to this patch, but it also means that we must be careful to never use the new key fields with ARP or ND packets. ARP is easy to distinguish and keep mutually exclusive based on the ethernet type, but ND being an ICMPv6 protocol requires a bit more attention.

Exposed connection states are OVS_CS_F_*: - NEW (0x01) - Beginning of a new connection. - ESTABLISHED (0x02) - Part of an existing connection. - RELATED (0x04) - Related to an established connection. - INVALID (0x20) - Could not track the connection for this packet. - REPLY_DIR (0x40) - This packet is in the reply direction for the flow. - TRACKED (0x80) - This packet has been sent through conntrack. When the CT action is executed by itself, it will send the packet through the connection tracker and populate the ct_state field with one or more of the connection state flags above. The CT action will always set the TRACKED bit. When the COMMIT flag is passed to the conntrack action, this specifies that information about the connection should be stored. This allows subsequent packets for the same (or related) connections to be correlated with this connection. Sending subsequent packets for the connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR. The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the "ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id. IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the CT action. The maximum received unit (MRU) size is tracked so that refragmentation can occur during output. IP frag handling contributed by Andy Zhou. Based on original design by Justin Pettit.

openvswitch: Add original direction conntrack tuple to sw_flow_key. Add the fields of the conntrack original direction 5-tuple to struct sw_flow_key. The new fields are initially marked as non-existent, and are populated whenever a conntrack action is executed and either finds or generates a conntrack entry. This means that these fields exist for all packets that were not rejected by conntrack as untrackable. The original tuple fields in the sw_flow_key are filled from the original direction tuple of the conntrack entry relating to the current packet, or from the original direction tuple of the master conntrack entry, if the current conntrack entry has a master. Generally, expected connections of connections having an assigned helper (e.g., FTP), have a master conntrack entry. The main purpose of the new conntrack original tuple fields is to allow matching on them for policy decision purposes, with the premise that the admissibility of tracked connections reply packets (as well as original direction packets), and both direction packets of any related connections may be based on ACL rules applying to the master connection's original direction 5-tuple. This also makes it easier to make policy decisions when the actual packet headers might have been transformed by NAT, as the original direction 5-tuple represents the packet headers before any such transformation. When using the original direction 5-tuple the admissibility of return and/or related packets need not be based on the mere existence of a conntrack entry, allowing separation of admission policy from the established conntrack state. While existence of a conntrack entry is required for admission of the return or related packets, policy changes can render connections that were initially admitted to be rejected or dropped afterwards. If the admission of the return and related packets was based on mere conntrack state (e.g., connection being in an established state), a policy change that would make the connection rejected or dropped would need to find and delete all conntrack entries affected by such a change. When using the original direction 5-tuple matching the affected conntrack entries can be allowed to time out instead, as the established state of the connection would not need to be the basis for packet admission any more. It should be noted that the directionality of related connections may be the same or different than that of the master connection, and neither the original direction 5-tuple nor the conntrack state bits carry this information. If needed, the directionality of the master connection can be stored in master's conntrack mark or labels, which are automatically inherited by the expected related connections. The fact that neither ARP nor ND packets are trackable by conntrack allows mutual exclusion between ARP/ND and the new conntrack original tuple fields. Hence, the IP addresses are overlaid in union with ARP and ND fields. This allows the sw_flow_key to not grow much due to this patch, but it also means that we must be careful to never use the new key fields with ARP or ND packets. ARP is easy to distinguish and keep mutually exclusive based on the ethernet type, but ND being an ICMPv6 protocol requires a bit more attention.

openvswitch: Add original direction conntrack tuple to sw_flow_key. Add the fields of the conntrack original direction 5-tuple to struct sw_flow_key. The new fields are initially marked as non-existent, and are populated whenever a conntrack action is executed and either finds or generates a conntrack entry. This means that these fields exist for all packets that were not rejected by conntrack as untrackable. The original tuple fields in the sw_flow_key are filled from the original direction tuple of the conntrack entry relating to the current packet, or from the original direction tuple of the master conntrack entry, if the current conntrack entry has a master. Generally, expected connections of connections having an assigned helper (e.g., FTP), have a master conntrack entry. The main purpose of the new conntrack original tuple fields is to allow matching on them for policy decision purposes, with the premise that the admissibility of tracked connections reply packets (as well as original direction packets), and both direction packets of any related connections may be based on ACL rules applying to the master connection's original direction 5-tuple. This also makes it easier to make policy decisions when the actual packet headers might have been transformed by NAT, as the original direction 5-tuple represents the packet headers before any such transformation. When using the original direction 5-tuple the admissibility of return and/or related packets need not be based on the mere existence of a conntrack entry, allowing separation of admission policy from the established conntrack state. While existence of a conntrack entry is required for admission of the return or related packets, policy changes can render connections that were initially admitted to be rejected or dropped afterwards. If the admission of the return and related packets was based on mere conntrack state (e.g., connection being in an established state), a policy change that would make the connection rejected or dropped would need to find and delete all conntrack entries affected by such a change. When using the original direction 5-tuple matching the affected conntrack entries can be allowed to time out instead, as the established state of the connection would not need to be the basis for packet admission any more. It should be noted that the directionality of related connections may be the same or different than that of the master connection, and neither the original direction 5-tuple nor the conntrack state bits carry this information. If needed, the directionality of the master connection can be stored in master's conntrack mark or labels, which are automatically inherited by the expected related connections. The fact that neither ARP nor ND packets are trackable by conntrack allows mutual exclusion between ARP/ND and the new conntrack original tuple fields. Hence, the IP addresses are overlaid in union with ARP and ND fields. This allows the sw_flow_key to not grow much due to this patch, but it also means that we must be careful to never use the new key fields with ARP or ND packets.

openvswitch: Add conntrack action Expose the kernel connection tracker via OVS. Userspace components can make use of the CT action to populate the connection state (ct_state) field for a flow. This state can be subsequently matched. Exposed connection states are OVS_CS_F_*: - NEW (0x01) - Beginning of a new connection. - ESTABLISHED (0x02) - Part of an existing connection. - RELATED (0x04) - Related to an established connection. - INVALID (0x20) - Could not track the connection for this packet. - REPLY_DIR (0x40) - This packet is in the reply direction for the flow. - TRACKED (0x80) - This packet has been sent through conntrack. When the CT action is executed by itself, it will send the packet through the connection tracker and populate the ct_state field with one or more of the connection state flags above. The CT action will always set the TRACKED bit. When the COMMIT flag is passed to the conntrack action, this specifies that information about the connection should be stored. This allows subsequent packets for the same (or related) connections to be correlated with this connection. Sending subsequent packets for the connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR. The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the "ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id. IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the CT action. The maximum received unit (MRU) size is tracked so that refragmentation can occur during output. IP frag handling contributed by Andy Zhou. Based on original design by Justin Pettit.

Sending subsequent packets for the connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR. The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the "ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id. IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the CT action.

openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace. For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace, they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max. In this case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries, it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the conntrack table. Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack entries. To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries per-zone. For example, we can designate different zone to different VM, and set conntrack limit to each zone. By providing this isolation, a mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and it will not influence other well-behaved VMs. Moreover, the users can set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference. The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend to count the number of connections in a particular zone. If the number of connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the userspace. If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to the behavior without this patch. The following high leve APIs are provided to the userspace: - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_SET: * set default connection limit for all zones * set the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_DEL: * remove the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_GET: * get the default connection limit for all zones * get the connection limit for a particular zone Signed-off-by: Yi-Hung Wei <yihung.wei@gmail.com> Acked-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@ovn.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

openvswitch: Fix CT limit teardown use-after-free Packet processing uses CT limit state under RCU, while netns teardown frees that state under ovs_mutex. The CT limit pointer was neither removed from readers nor protected by a grace period, allowing packet processing to dereference the freed state. An unprivileged user can trigger this bug from a user and network namespace, causing a slab-use-after-free in ovs_ct_execute() when the netns is torn down. Publish the CT limit pointer through RCU, remove it before teardown, and wait for readers before freeing its contents. Keep ovs_mutex around individual CT limit updates, and use the RCU read-side lock while GET traverses the RCU-protected limit lists. Netns teardown detaches the RCU-protected CT limit state in the pernet .pre_exit callback while holding ovs_mutex. The pernet core guarantees an RCU grace period between the .pre_exit and .exit callbacks, so the .exit callback completes the teardown without adding any extra synchronization. The netlink command handlers do not need NULL checks because the userspace netlink socket holds an active reference to its network namespace while a request is processed. The per-netns exit path therefore cannot run concurrently with SET, DEL, or GET for that socket's namespace.

To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries per-zone. For example, we can designate different zone to different VM, and set conntrack limit to each zone. By providing this isolation, a mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and it will not influence other well-behaved VMs. Moreover, the users can set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference. The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend to count the number of connections in a particular zone. If the number of connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the userspace. If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to the behavior without this patch.

openvswitch: Add conntrack action Expose the kernel connection tracker via OVS. Userspace components can make use of the CT action to populate the connection state (ct_state) field for a flow. This state can be subsequently matched. Exposed connection states are OVS_CS_F_*: - NEW (0x01) - Beginning of a new connection. - ESTABLISHED (0x02) - Part of an existing connection. - RELATED (0x04) - Related to an established connection. - INVALID (0x20) - Could not track the connection for this packet. - REPLY_DIR (0x40) - This packet is in the reply direction for the flow. - TRACKED (0x80) - This packet has been sent through conntrack. When the CT action is executed by itself, it will send the packet through the connection tracker and populate the ct_state field with one or more of the connection state flags above. The CT action will always set the TRACKED bit. When the COMMIT flag is passed to the conntrack action, this specifies that information about the connection should be stored. This allows subsequent packets for the same (or related) connections to be correlated with this connection. Sending subsequent packets for the connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR. The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the "ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id. IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the CT action. The maximum received unit (MRU) size is tracked so that refragmentation can occur during output. IP frag handling contributed by Andy Zhou. Based on original design by Justin Pettit.

openvswitch: Remove padding from packet before L3+ conntrack processing IPv4 and IPv6 packets may arrive with lower-layer padding that is not included in the L3 length. For example, a short IPv4 packet may have up to 6 bytes of padding following the IP payload when received on an Ethernet device with a minimum packet length of 64 bytes. Higher-layer processing functions in netfilter (e.g. nf_ip_checksum(), and help() in nf_conntrack_ftp) assume skb->len reflects the length of the L3 header and payload, rather than referring back to ip_hdr->tot_len or ipv6_hdr->payload_len, and get confused by lower-layer padding. In the normal IPv4 receive path, ip_rcv() trims the packet to ip_hdr->tot_len before invoking netfilter hooks. In the IPv6 receive path, ip6_rcv() does the same using ipv6_hdr->payload_len. Similarly in the br_netfilter receive path, br_validate_ipv4() and br_validate_ipv6() trim the packet to the L3 length before invoking netfilter hooks. Currently in the OVS conntrack receive path, ovs_ct_execute() pulls the skb to the L3 header but does not trim it to the L3 length before calling nf_conntrack_in(NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING). When nf_conntrack_proto_tcp encounters a packet with lower-layer padding, nf_ip_checksum() fails causing a "nf_ct_tcp: bad TCP checksum" log message. While extra zero bytes don't affect the checksum, the length in the IP pseudoheader does. That length is based on skb->len, and without trimming, it doesn't match the length the sender used when computing the checksum. In ovs_ct_execute(), trim the skb to the L3 length before higher-layer processing.

Sending subsequent packets for the connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR. The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the "ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id. IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the CT action. The maximum received unit (MRU) size is tracked so that refragmentation can occur during output. IP frag handling contributed by Andy Zhou. Based on original design by Justin Pettit.

net: openvswitch: fix misuse of the cached connection on tuple changes If packet headers changed, the cached nfct is no longer relevant for the packet and attempt to re-use it leads to the incorrect packet classification. This issue is causing broken connectivity in OpenStack deployments with OVS/OVN due to hairpin traffic being unexpectedly dropped. The setup has datapath flows with several conntrack actions and tuple changes between them: actions:ct(commit,zone=8,mark=0/0x1,nat(src)), set(eth(src=00:00:00:00:00:01,dst=00:00:00:00:00:06)), set(ipv4(src=172.18.2.10,dst=192.168.100.6,ttl=62)), ct(zone=8),recirc(0x4) After the first ct() action the packet headers are almost fully re-written. The next ct() tries to re-use the existing nfct entry and marks the packet as invalid, so it gets dropped later in the pipeline. Clearing the cached conntrack entry whenever packet tuple is changed to avoid the issue. The flow key should not be cleared though, because we should still be able to match on the ct_state if the recirculation happens after the tuple change but before the next ct() action.

openvswitch: Add conntrack action Expose the kernel connection tracker via OVS. Userspace components can make use of the CT action to populate the connection state (ct_state) field for a flow. This state can be subsequently matched. Exposed connection states are OVS_CS_F_*: - NEW (0x01) - Beginning of a new connection. - ESTABLISHED (0x02) - Part of an existing connection. - RELATED (0x04) - Related to an established connection. - INVALID (0x20) - Could not track the connection for this packet. - REPLY_DIR (0x40) - This packet is in the reply direction for the flow. - TRACKED (0x80) - This packet has been sent through conntrack. When the CT action is executed by itself, it will send the packet through the connection tracker and populate the ct_state field with one or more of the connection state flags above. The CT action will always set the TRACKED bit. When the COMMIT flag is passed to the conntrack action, this specifies that information about the connection should be stored. This allows subsequent packets for the same (or related) connections to be correlated with this connection. Sending subsequent packets for the connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR. The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the "ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id. IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the CT action. The maximum received unit (MRU) size is tracked so that refragmentation can occur during output. IP frag handling contributed by Andy Zhou. Based on original design by Justin Pettit.

openvswitch: Add conntrack action Expose the kernel connection tracker via OVS. Userspace components can make use of the CT action to populate the connection state (ct_state) field for a flow. This state can be subsequently matched. Exposed connection states are OVS_CS_F_*: - NEW (0x01) - Beginning of a new connection. - ESTABLISHED (0x02) - Part of an existing connection. - RELATED (0x04) - Related to an established connection. - INVALID (0x20) - Could not track the connection for this packet. - REPLY_DIR (0x40) - This packet is in the reply direction for the flow. - TRACKED (0x80) - This packet has been sent through conntrack. When the CT action is executed by itself, it will send the packet through the connection tracker and populate the ct_state field with one or more of the connection state flags above. The CT action will always set the TRACKED bit. When the COMMIT flag is passed to the conntrack action, this specifies that information about the connection should be stored. This allows subsequent packets for the same (or related) connections to be correlated with this connection. Sending subsequent packets for the connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR. The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the "ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id. IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the CT action.

openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace. For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace, they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max. In this case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries, it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the conntrack table. Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack entries. To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries per-zone. For example, we can designate different zone to different VM, and set conntrack limit to each zone. By providing this isolation, a mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and it will not influence other well-behaved VMs. Moreover, the users can set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference. The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend to count the number of connections in a particular zone. If the number of connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the userspace. If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to the behavior without this patch. The following high leve APIs are provided to the userspace: - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_SET: * set default connection limit for all zones * set the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_DEL: * remove the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_GET: * get the default connection limit for all zones * get the connection limit for a particular zone Signed-off-by: Yi-Hung Wei <yihung.wei@gmail.com> Acked-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@ovn.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

openvswitch: Fix CT limit teardown use-after-free Packet processing uses CT limit state under RCU, while netns teardown frees that state under ovs_mutex. The CT limit pointer was neither removed from readers nor protected by a grace period, allowing packet processing to dereference the freed state. An unprivileged user can trigger this bug from a user and network namespace, causing a slab-use-after-free in ovs_ct_execute() when the netns is torn down. Publish the CT limit pointer through RCU, remove it before teardown, and wait for readers before freeing its contents. Keep ovs_mutex around individual CT limit updates, and use the RCU read-side lock while GET traverses the RCU-protected limit lists. Netns teardown detaches the RCU-protected CT limit state in the pernet .pre_exit callback while holding ovs_mutex. The pernet core guarantees an RCU grace period between the .pre_exit and .exit callbacks, so the .exit callback completes the teardown without adding any extra synchronization. The netlink command handlers do not need NULL checks because the userspace netlink socket holds an active reference to its network namespace while a request is processed. The per-netns exit path therefore cannot run concurrently with SET, DEL, or GET for that socket's namespace.

openvswitch: Fix CT limit teardown use-after-free Packet processing uses CT limit state under RCU, while netns teardown frees that state under ovs_mutex. The CT limit pointer was neither removed from readers nor protected by a grace period, allowing packet processing to dereference the freed state. An unprivileged user can trigger this bug from a user and network namespace, causing a slab-use-after-free in ovs_ct_execute() when the netns is torn down. Publish the CT limit pointer through RCU, remove it before teardown, and wait for readers before freeing its contents. Keep ovs_mutex around individual CT limit updates, and use the RCU read-side lock while GET traverses the RCU-protected limit lists. Netns teardown detaches the RCU-protected CT limit state in the pernet .pre_exit callback while holding ovs_mutex. The pernet core guarantees an RCU grace period between the .pre_exit and .exit callbacks, so the .exit callback completes the teardown without adding any extra synchronization. The netlink command handlers do not need NULL checks because the userspace netlink socket holds an active reference to its network namespace while a request is processed. The per-netns exit path therefore cannot run concurrently with SET, DEL, or GET for that socket's namespace.

openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace. For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace, they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max. In this case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries, it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the conntrack table. Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack entries. To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries per-zone. For example, we can designate different zone to different VM, and set conntrack limit to each zone. By providing this isolation, a mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and it will not influence other well-behaved VMs. Moreover, the users can set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference. The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend to count the number of connections in a particular zone. If the number of connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the userspace. If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to the behavior without this patch.

openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace. For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace, they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max. In this case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries, it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the conntrack table. Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack entries. To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries per-zone. For example, we can designate different zone to different VM, and set conntrack limit to each zone. By providing this isolation, a mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and it will not influence other well-behaved VMs. Moreover, the users can set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference. The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend to count the number of connections in a particular zone. If the number of connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the userspace. If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to the behavior without this patch. The following high leve APIs are provided to the userspace: - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_SET: * set default connection limit for all zones * set the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_DEL: * remove the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_GET: * get the default connection limit for all zones * get the connection limit for a particular zone Signed-off-by: Yi-Hung Wei <yihung.wei@gmail.com> Acked-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@ovn.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

openvswitch: Fix CT limit teardown use-after-free Packet processing uses CT limit state under RCU, while netns teardown frees that state under ovs_mutex. The CT limit pointer was neither removed from readers nor protected by a grace period, allowing packet processing to dereference the freed state. An unprivileged user can trigger this bug from a user and network namespace, causing a slab-use-after-free in ovs_ct_execute() when the netns is torn down. Publish the CT limit pointer through RCU, remove it before teardown, and wait for readers before freeing its contents. Keep ovs_mutex around individual CT limit updates, and use the RCU read-side lock while GET traverses the RCU-protected limit lists. Netns teardown detaches the RCU-protected CT limit state in the pernet .pre_exit callback while holding ovs_mutex. The pernet core guarantees an RCU grace period between the .pre_exit and .exit callbacks, so the .exit callback completes the teardown without adding any extra synchronization. The netlink command handlers do not need NULL checks because the userspace netlink socket holds an active reference to its network namespace while a request is processed.

openvswitch: Fix CT limit teardown use-after-free Packet processing uses CT limit state under RCU, while netns teardown frees that state under ovs_mutex. The CT limit pointer was neither removed from readers nor protected by a grace period, allowing packet processing to dereference the freed state. An unprivileged user can trigger this bug from a user and network namespace, causing a slab-use-after-free in ovs_ct_execute() when the netns is torn down. Publish the CT limit pointer through RCU, remove it before teardown, and wait for readers before freeing its contents. Keep ovs_mutex around individual CT limit updates, and use the RCU read-side lock while GET traverses the RCU-protected limit lists. Netns teardown detaches the RCU-protected CT limit state in the pernet .pre_exit callback while holding ovs_mutex. The pernet core guarantees an RCU grace period between the .pre_exit and .exit callbacks, so the .exit callback completes the teardown without adding any extra synchronization. The netlink command handlers do not need NULL checks because the userspace netlink socket holds an active reference to its network namespace while a request is processed. The per-netns exit path therefore cannot run concurrently with SET, DEL, or GET for that socket's namespace.

openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace. For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace, they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max. In this case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries, it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the conntrack table. Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack entries. To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries per-zone. For example, we can designate different zone to different VM, and set conntrack limit to each zone. By providing this isolation, a mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and it will not influence other well-behaved VMs. Moreover, the users can set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference. The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend to count the number of connections in a particular zone. If the number of connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the userspace. If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to the behavior without this patch.

openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace. For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace, they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max. In this case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries, it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the conntrack table. Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack entries. To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries per-zone. For example, we can designate different zone to different VM, and set conntrack limit to each zone. By providing this isolation, a mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and it will not influence other well-behaved VMs. Moreover, the users can set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference. The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend to count the number of connections in a particular zone. If the number of connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the userspace. If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to the behavior without this patch. The following high leve APIs are provided to the userspace: - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_SET: * set default connection limit for all zones * set the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_DEL: * remove the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_GET: * get the default connection limit for all zones * get the connection limit for a particular zone Signed-off-by: Yi-Hung Wei <yihung.wei@gmail.com> Acked-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@ovn.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

openvswitch: Fix CT limit teardown use-after-free Packet processing uses CT limit state under RCU, while netns teardown frees that state under ovs_mutex. The CT limit pointer was neither removed from readers nor protected by a grace period, allowing packet processing to dereference the freed state. An unprivileged user can trigger this bug from a user and network namespace, causing a slab-use-after-free in ovs_ct_execute() when the netns is torn down. Publish the CT limit pointer through RCU, remove it before teardown, and wait for readers before freeing its contents. Keep ovs_mutex around individual CT limit updates, and use the RCU read-side lock while GET traverses the RCU-protected limit lists. Netns teardown detaches the RCU-protected CT limit state in the pernet .pre_exit callback while holding ovs_mutex. The pernet core guarantees an RCU grace period between the .pre_exit and .exit callbacks, so the .exit callback completes the teardown without adding any extra synchronization. The netlink command handlers do not need NULL checks because the userspace netlink socket holds an active reference to its network namespace while a request is processed.

openvswitch: Fix CT limit teardown use-after-free Packet processing uses CT limit state under RCU, while netns teardown frees that state under ovs_mutex. The CT limit pointer was neither removed from readers nor protected by a grace period, allowing packet processing to dereference the freed state. An unprivileged user can trigger this bug from a user and network namespace, causing a slab-use-after-free in ovs_ct_execute() when the netns is torn down. Publish the CT limit pointer through RCU, remove it before teardown, and wait for readers before freeing its contents. Keep ovs_mutex around individual CT limit updates, and use the RCU read-side lock while GET traverses the RCU-protected limit lists. Netns teardown detaches the RCU-protected CT limit state in the pernet .pre_exit callback while holding ovs_mutex. The pernet core guarantees an RCU grace period between the .pre_exit and .exit callbacks, so the .exit callback completes the teardown without adding any extra synchronization. The netlink command handlers do not need NULL checks because the userspace netlink socket holds an active reference to its network namespace while a request is processed. The per-netns exit path therefore cannot run concurrently with SET, DEL, or GET for that socket's namespace.

openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace. For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace, they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max. In this case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries, it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the conntrack table. Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack entries. To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries per-zone. For example, we can designate different zone to different VM, and set conntrack limit to each zone. By providing this isolation, a mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and it will not influence other well-behaved VMs. Moreover, the users can set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference. The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend to count the number of connections in a particular zone. If the number of connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the userspace.

openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace. For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace, they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max. In this case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries, it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the conntrack table. Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack entries. To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries per-zone. For example, we can designate different zone to different VM, and set conntrack limit to each zone. By providing this isolation, a mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and it will not influence other well-behaved VMs. Moreover, the users can set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference. The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend to count the number of connections in a particular zone. If the number of connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the userspace. If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to the behavior without this patch. The following high leve APIs are provided to the userspace: - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_SET: * set default connection limit for all zones * set the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_DEL: * remove the connection limit for a particular zone - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_GET: * get the default connection limit for all zones * get the connection limit for a particular zone Signed-off-by: Yi-Hung Wei <yihung.wei@gmail.com> Acked-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@ovn.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

openvswitch: Fix CT limit teardown use-after-free Packet processing uses CT limit state under RCU, while netns teardown frees that state under ovs_mutex. The CT limit pointer was neither removed from readers nor protected by a grace period, allowing packet processing to dereference the freed state. An unprivileged user can trigger this bug from a user and network namespace, causing a slab-use-after-free in ovs_ct_execute() when the netns is torn down. Publish the CT limit pointer through RCU, remove it before teardown, and wait for readers before freeing its contents. Keep ovs_mutex around individual CT limit updates, and use the RCU read-side lock while GET traverses the RCU-protected limit lists. Netns teardown detaches the RCU-protected CT limit state in the pernet .pre_exit callback while holding ovs_mutex. The pernet core guarantees an RCU grace period between the .pre_exit and .exit callbacks, so the .exit callback completes the teardown without adding any extra synchronization. The netlink command handlers do not need NULL checks because the userspace netlink socket holds an active reference to its network namespace while a request is processed. The per-netns exit path therefore cannot run concurrently with SET, DEL, or GET for that socket's namespace.
