* netlink: use u8 getter for TCP statesPablo Neira Ayuso2009-02-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | This patch replace nfct_get_attr_u32 by nfct_get_attr_u8 which is the correct size of a TCP state. Set also the CLOSE_INIT flag for CLOSE TCP state (as nf_conntrack_proto_tcp allows). Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: remove obsolete debug() and debug_ct() callsPablo Neira Ayuso2009-02-201-1/+0
| | | | | | | This patch removes debug() and debug_ct(), I haven't use the debugging information that these functions provide in years. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: refactorize several nl_init_*_handler() functionsPablo Neira Ayuso2009-02-051-36/+0
| | | | | | | | | | This patch removes: * nl_init_dump_handler() * nl_init_request_handler() * nl_init_resync_handler() since they all look very similar. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: set IP_CT_TCP_FLAG_CLOSE_INIT for TIME_WAIT statesPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-251-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | This patch sets IP_CT_TCP_FLAG_CLOSE_INIT if the entry is in TCP TIME_WAIT state. This patch is a workaround, the daemon should propagate the internal TCP flags to make it fully independent of possible changes in the TCP tracking code.

* cache: mangle timeout inside nl_*_conntrack() functionsPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-251-2/+12
| | | | | | This patch moves the timeout mangling inside nl_*_conntrack(). Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* cache: remove nl_exist_conntrack() functionPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-251-13/+2
| | | | | | | This function is a synonimous of nl_get_conntrack(), use the get function instead. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: rename overrun handler to resync handlerPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | This patch is a cleanup. The overrun handler is actually a way to resynchronize against the conntrack kernel table. The name overrun was used because it was initially its purpose. The new naming shows its genericity. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: support for redundant dedicated linksPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-171-0/+16
| | | | | | | | This patch adds support for redundant dedicated links. You can add a pool of dedicated links that can be used if the current active fails. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: don't double the netlink buffer twice during resizePablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-141-1/+2
| | | | | | | | The Linux kernel doubles the the size of the buffer by default. See sock_setsockopt() in net/core/sock.c. We don't need to multiply the current size by two. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: fix type in warning message on SocketBufferSizeMaxGrowthPablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-171-1/+1
| | | | | | This patch fixes a type in a warning message. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: log report initial netlink event socket buffer sizePablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-171-7/+9
| | | | | | | This patch adds an initial log message to report the initial netlink event socket buffer size. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: do not build the reply tuple in update messagesPablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-111-2/+0
| | | | | | We do not need to include the reply tuple in the update messages. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: conditional build of TCP flags/mask for updatesPablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-111-6/+8
| | | | | | | This patch includes the TCP flag/mask attributes in update messages if this is a TCP connection. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: build TCP flags/mask only if this is a TCP connectionPablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-111-6/+8
| | | | | | | This patch includes the TCP flag/mask attributes if this is a TCP connection, otherwise do not include. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: fix EILSEQ error messages due to process race conditionPablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-111-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a race condition that triggers EILSEQ errors (wrong sequence message). The problems is triggered when the child process resets the timers at the same time that the parent process requests a resync. Since both the child and the parent process use the same descriptors, the sequence tracking code in libnfnetlink gets confused as it considers that it is receiving out of sequence netlink messages. This patch introduces internal handlers to commit and reset timers so that the parent and the child do not use the same descriptors to operate with the kernel. This patch changes the prototype of all nf_*_conntrack() functions. Now, the nfct handler is passed as first parameter, this change is required to fix this problem. The rest of the changes on the API is done for consistency. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: recover conntrackd -F operationPablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-091-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | This patch recovers the option -F for conntrackd. This will be particularly useful to flush the kernel conntrack table without getting the event notification of the conntrack deletions (that will happen with Linux kernel >= 2.6.29). Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: unset ATTR_HELPER_NAME to avoid EBUSY in nl_update_conntrack()Pablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-081-0/+3
| | | | | | | This patch unsets the ATTR_HELPER_NAME attributes, otherwise we hit EBUSY for related conntrack entries while resetting the timers. Signed-off: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: constify conntrack object parameter of nl_*_conntrack()Pablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-071-4/+5
| | | | | | | This patch constifies the first parameter, which is a conntrack object, in all nl_*_conntrack() functions. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: use NFCT_Q_[CREATE|UPDATE] instead of NFCT_Q_CREATE_UPDATEPablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch uses NFCT_Q_CREATE in nl_create_conntrack() and NFCT_Q_UPDATE in nl_update_conntrack(). The NFCT_Q_CREATE_UPDATE query does not set the NLM_F_EXCL flag, so that it tries to update the entry if we fail to create. Under several scenarios, this may lead to problems. For example, the creation of related conntracks contain the master information. This is fine to create an entry, but an update will hit EOPNOTSUPP as ctnetlink considers that you are trying to change the master of an existing conntrack - and this is not a supported operation, of course. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: clone conntrack object while creation/updatePablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-061-6/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the behaviour of nl_create_conntrack() and nl_update_conntrack() which now clone the conntrack object received as parameter. This was not required as these functions were called inside fork(), thus, they modified a copy of the real conntrack objects in the child process. However, this behaviour is broken following the try-again logic in __do_commit_step. For example, if we try to update an expected conntrack object that has vanished for whatever reason, since nl_update_conntrack() modifies the object (unset the master conntrack information), nl_create_conntrak() will create an entry without the master conntrack information.

* src: move callbacks to run.c for better readabilityPablo Neira Ayuso2008-11-271-134/+32
| | | | | | | | | This patch is a cleanup. It moves the callbacks from netlink.c to run.c where they are actually invoked. This is better for code readability as I usually have to switch from run.c to netlink.c to remember what the callbacks actually do. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* filter: choose the filtering method via configuration filePablo Neira Ayuso2008-11-181-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the current behaviour of the filtering selection. Up to now, conntrackd has used the kernel version to select the filtering method based on the following logic: If kernel is >= 2.6.26 we use BSF-based filtering from kernel-space, otherwise, default to userspace. However, this filtering method still lacks of IPv6 support and it requires a patch that got into 2.6.29 to filter IPv6 addresses from kernel-space. To fix this issue, we default to user-space filtering and let the user choose the method via the configuration file. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* filter: do not filter in user-space if kernel supports BSFPablo Neira Ayuso2008-10-211-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | This patch avoids a double filtering in user-space and kernel-space if the kernel support BSF. Since we do not use BSF for dumps and resyncs, we add a new parameter to ignore_conntrack to indicate if we have to perform the filtering in user-space or not. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: report when kernel-space event filtering is in usePablo Neira Ayuso2008-10-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | This patch adds a log message to tell that conntrackd are using kernel-space filtering. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* filter: check if kernel-space filtering is availablePablo Neira Ayuso2008-09-171-10/+7
| | | | | | | | Check if the Linux kernel is >= 2.6.26, otherwise it does not support kernel-space filtering. This is not clean but we have no choice, the BSF infrastructure does not return ENOTSUPP for unsupported operations. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* filter: fix NAT detection tweakPablo Neira Ayuso2008-09-161-12/+0
| | | | | | | | With this patch, we rely on the real source and destination of the packet to perform the filter. The current NAT detection tweak is broken for certain situations. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: avoid errors related to the expected bit handlingPablo Neira Ayuso2008-08-071-2/+15
| | | | | | | | We hit error if we try to change the expected bit for already existing conntracks. On the other hand, if the conntrack does not exist, do not change the expected bit, otherwise we also hit error. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* cache iterators: commit master entries before related onesPablo Neira Ayuso2008-08-071-0/+12
| | | | | | Commit master entries before related ones to avoid ENOENT errors. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netlink: add getter and check existence functionsPablo Neira Ayuso2008-08-071-2/+23
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds nl_get_conntrack and it changes the behaviour of nl_exist_conntrack. Now, nl_get_conntrack requests the kernel for a conntrack and updates the cached entry. On the other hand, nl_exist_conntrack only inquiries for the existence of the entry. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* add more sanity checks in the input pathPablo Neira Ayuso2008-08-011-0/+38
| | | | | | | Some users have reported crashes when nf_conntrack_ipv6 was not present. This patch performs more robust sanity checks in the input path. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* add support for kernel-space filtering via BSFPablo Neira Ayuso2008-07-231-0/+14
| | | | | | | This patch adds support for kernel-space filtering via BSF by means of the libnetfilter_conntrack's BSF high-level API. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* Major rework of the user-space event filteringPablo Neira Ayuso2008-07-221-14/+2
| | | | | | | | | | This patch reworks the user-space filtering. Although we have kernel-space filtering since Linux kernel >= 2.6.26, we keep userspace filtering to ensure backward compatibility. Moreover, this patch prepares the implementation of the kernel-space filtering via libnetfilter_conntrack's high-level berkeley socket filter API.
