netfilter: ctnetlink: add support for user-space expectation helpers
This patch adds the basic infrastructure to support user-space
expectation helpers via ctnetlink and the netfilter queuing
infrastructure NFQUEUE. Basically, this patch:
* adds NF_CT_EXPECT_USERSPACE flag to identify user-space
created expectations. I have also added a sanity check in
__nf_ct_expect_check() to avoid that kernel-space helpers
may create an expectation if the master conntrack has no
helper assigned.
* adds some branches to check if the master conntrack helper
exists, otherwise we skip the code that refers to kernel-space
helper such as the local expectation list and the expectation
policy.
* allows to set the timeout for user-space expectations with
no helper assigned.
* a list of expectations created from user-space that depends
on ctnetlink (if this module is removed, they are deleted).
* includes USERSPACE in the /proc output for expectations
that have been created by a user-space helper.
This patch also modifies ctnetlink to skip including the helper
name in the Netlink messages if no kernel-space helper is set
(since no user-space expectation has not kernel-space kernel
assigned).

netfilter: nf_nat: better error handling of nf_ct_expect_related() in helpers
This patch improves the situation in which the expectation table is
full for conntrack NAT helpers. Basically, we give up if we don't
find a place in the table instead of looping over nf_ct_expect_related()
with a different port (we should only do this if it returns -EBUSY, for
-EMFILE or -ESHUTDOWN I think that it's better to skip this).

Change the usage of svc usecnt during command execution:
- we check if svc is registered but we do not need to hold usecnt
reference while under __ip_vs_mutex, only the packet handling needs
it during scheduling
- change __ip_vs_service_get to __ip_vs_service_find and
__ip_vs_svc_fwm_get to __ip_vs_svc_fwm_find because now caller
will increase svc->usecnt
- put common code that calls update_service in __ip_vs_update_dest
- put common code in ip_vs_unlink_service() and use it to unregister
the service
- add comment that svc should not be accessed after ip_vs_del_service
anymore
- all IP_VS_WAIT_WHILE calls are now unified: usecnt > 0
- Properly log the app ports
As result, some problems are fixed:
- possible use-after-free of svc in ip_vs_genl_set_cmd after
ip_vs_del_service because our usecnt reference does not guarantee that
svc is not freed on refcnt==0, eg. when no dests are moved to trash
- possible usecnt leak in do_ip_vs_set_ctl after ip_vs_del_service
when the service is not freed now, for example, when some
destionations are moved into trash and svc->refcnt remains above 0.
It is harmless because svc is not in hash anymore.

netfilter: save the hash of the tuple in the original direction for latter use
Since we don't change the tuple in the original direction, we can save it
in ct->tuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_REPLY].hnode.pprev for __nf_conntrack_confirm()

__hash_conntrack() is split into two steps: hash_conntrack_raw() is used

Add more code to IPVS to work with Netfilter connection
tracking and fix some problems.
- Allow IPVS to be compiled without connection tracking as in
2.6.35 and before. This can avoid keeping conntracks for all
IPVS connections because this costs memory. ip_vs_ftp still
depends on connection tracking and NAT as implemented for 2.6.36.
- Add sysctl var "conntrack" to enable connection tracking for
all IPVS connections. For loaded IPVS directors it needs
tuning of nf_conntrack_max limit.
- Add IP_VS_CONN_F_NFCT connection flag to request the connection
to use connection tracking. This allows user space to provide this
flag, for example, in dest->conn_flags. This can be useful to
request connection tracking per real server instead of forcing it
for all connections with the "conntrack" sysctl. This flag is
set currently only by ip_vs_ftp and of course by "conntrack" sysctl.
- Add ip_vs_nfct.c file to hold all connection tracking code,
by this way main code should not depend of netfilter conntrack
support.
- Return back the ip_vs_post_routing handler as in 2.6.35 and use
skb->ipvs_property=1 to allow IPVS to work without connection
tracking
Connection tracking:
- most of the code is already in 2.6.36-rc
- alter conntrack reply tuple for LVS-NAT connections when first packet
from client is forwarded and conntrack state is NEW or RELATED.
Additionally, alter reply for RELATED connections from real server,
again for packet in original direction.
- add IP_VS_XMIT_TUNNEL to confirm conntrack (without altering
reply) for LVS-TUN early because we want to call nf_reset. It is
needed because we add IPIP header and the original conntrack
should be preserved, not destroyed. The transmitted IPIP packets
can reuse same conntrack, so we do not set skb->ipvs_property.
- try to destroy conntrack when the IPVS connection is destroyed.
It is not fatal if conntrack disappears before that, it depends
on the used timers.
Fix problems from long time:
- add skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE for the LVS-TUN transmitters

udp: add rehash on connect()
commit 30fff923 introduced in linux-2.6.33 (udp: bind() optimisation)
added a secondary hash on UDP, hashed on (local addr, local port).
Problem is that following sequence :
fd = socket(...)
connect(fd, &remote, ...)
not only selects remote end point (address and port), but also sets
local address, while UDP stack stored in secondary hash table the socket
while its local address was INADDR_ANY (or ipv6 equivalent)
Sequence is :
- autobind() : choose a random local port, insert socket in hash tables
[while local address is INADDR_ANY]
- connect() : set remote address and port, change local address to IP
given by a route lookup.
When an incoming UDP frame comes, if more than 10 sockets are found in
primary hash table, we switch to secondary table, and fail to find
socket because its local address changed.
One solution to this problem is to rehash datagram socket if needed.
We add a new rehash(struct socket *) method in "struct proto", and
implement this method for UDP v4 & v6, using a common helper.
This rehashing only takes care of secondary hash table, since primary
hash (based on local port only) is not changed.

Zach Brown pointed out that our usage of cmpxchg for xlist removal is

The second CPU might assume the list hasn't changed when in fact any
number of operations might have happened in between the deletion and
reinsertion.

rds: fix rds_send_xmit() serialization
rds_send_xmit() was changed to hold an interrupt masking spinlock instead of a

This patch serializes callers to rds_send_xmit() with a simple bit instead of

c_send_lock exposes the bare c_lock acquisitions which are changed to block
interrupts.
A waitqueue is added so that rds_conn_shutdown() can wait for callers to leave
rds_send_xmit() before tearing down partial send state. This lets us get rid
of c_senders.
rds_send_xmit() is changed to check the conn state after acquiring the
RDS_IN_XMIT bit to resolve races with the shutdown path. Previously both
worked with the conn state and then the lock in the same order, allowing them
to race and execute the paths concurrently.
rds_send_reset() isn't racing with rds_send_xmit() now that rds_conn_shutdown()
properly ensures that rds_send_xmit() can't start once the conn state has been

Finally, c_send_generation is redundant. Callers can race to test the c_flags
