Chieh-Min Wang 13f5251fd1 netfilter: conntrack: fix cloned unconfirmed skb->_nfct race in __nf_conntrack_confirm
For bridge(br_flood) or broadcast/multicast packets, they could clone
skb with unconfirmed conntrack which break the rule that unconfirmed
skb->_nfct is never shared.  With nfqueue running on my system, the race
can be easily reproduced with following warning calltrace:

The original code just triggered the warning but do nothing. It will
caused the shared conntrack moves to the dying list and the packet be
droppped (nf_ct_resolve_clash returns NF_DROP for dying conntrack).

iptables -A FORWARD -m mark --mark 0x1000000/0x1000000 -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 100 --queue-bypass

ps: Our nfq userspace program will set mark on packets whose connection
has already been processed.

PC1 sends broadcast packets simulated by hping3:

hping3 --rand-source --udp 192.168.1.255 -i u100

- Broadcast racing flow chart is as follow:

br_handle_frame
  BR_HOOK(NFPROTO_BRIDGE, NF_BR_PRE_ROUTING, br_handle_frame_finish)
  // skb->_nfct (unconfirmed conntrack) is constructed at PRE_ROUTING stage
  br_handle_frame_finish
    // check if this packet is broadcast
    br_flood_forward
      br_flood
        list_for_each_entry_rcu(p, &br->port_list, list) // iterate through each port
          maybe_deliver
            deliver_clone
              skb = skb_clone(skb)
              __br_forward
                BR_HOOK(NFPROTO_BRIDGE, NF_BR_FORWARD,...)
                // queue in our nfq and received by our userspace program
                // goto __nf_conntrack_confirm with process context on CPU 1
    br_pass_frame_up
      BR_HOOK(NFPROTO_BRIDGE, NF_BR_LOCAL_IN,...)
      // goto __nf_conntrack_confirm with softirq context on CPU 0

Because conntrack confirm can happen at both INPUT and POSTROUTING
stage.  So with NFQUEUE running, skb->_nfct with the same unconfirmed
conntrack could race on different core.

This patch fixes a repeating kernel splat, now it is only displayed
once.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
