2008-06-09netfilter: nf_conntrack: properly account terminating packetsFabian Hugelshofer
Currently the last packet of a connection isn't accounted when its causing abnormal termination. Introduces nf_ct_kill_acct() which increments the accounting counters on conntrack kill. The new function was necessary, because there are calls to nf_ct_kill() which don't need accounting: nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~847: Kills ct and returns NF_REPEAT. We don't want to count twice. nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~880: Kills ct and returns NF_DROP. I think we don't want to count dropped packets. nf_conntrack_netlink.c line ~824: As far as I can see ctnetlink_del_conntrack() is used to destroy a conntrack on behalf of the user. There is an sk_buff, but I don't think this is an actual packet. Incrementing counters here is therefore not desired.

2008-06-09netfilter: ip_tables: add iptables security table for mandatory access ↵James Morris
control rules The following patch implements a new "security" table for iptables, so that MAC (SELinux etc.) networking rules can be managed separately to standard DAC rules. This is to help with distro integration of the new secmark-based network controls, per various previous discussions. The need for a separate table arises from the fact that existing tools and usage of iptables will likely clash with centralized MAC policy management. The SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets will still be valid in the mangle table to prevent breakage of existing users.

2008-06-09netfilter: ctnetlink: group errors into logical errno setsPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch groups ctnetlink errors into three logical sets: * Malformed messages: if ctnetlink receives a message without some mandatory attribute, then it returns EINVAL. * Unsupported operations: if userspace tries to perform an unsupported operation, then it returns EOPNOTSUPP. * Unchangeable: if userspace tries to change some attribute of the conntrack object that can only be set once, then it returns EBUSY. This patch reduces the number of -EINVAL from 23 to 14 and it results in 5 -EBUSY and 6 -EOPNOTSUPP.

2008-06-04tipc: Minor optimizations to received message processingAllan Stephens

2008-06-04tipc: Fix minor bugs in link session number handlingAllan Stephens
This patch introduces a new, out-of-range value to indicate that a link endpoint does not have an existing session established with its peer, eliminating the risk that the previously used "invalid session number" value (i.e. zero) might eventually be assigned as a valid session number and cause incorrect link behavior.

2008-05-21tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayedSridhar Samudrala
We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits. The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits. I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel. In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset. At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets dst_cache entry remains NULL. So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu. Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-05-21tipc: Fix initialization sequence problems when entering network modeAllan Stephens
This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration service are shut down before switching into "network mode". This ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary "publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully initialized for sending off-node messages. Note that the node's current network address is now updated only after the two services are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.

2008-05-21tipc: Fix skb_under_panic when configuring TIPC without privilegesAllan Stephens
This patch prevents a TIPC configuration command requiring network administrator privileges from triggering an skbuff underrun if it is issued by a process lacking those privileges.
