Netfilter fixes for net
The following batch contains Netfilter fixes for net:
1) Replace skb_try_make_writable() by skb_ensure_writable() in
nft_fwd_netdev and the flowtable to deal with uncloned packets
having their network header in paged fragments.
2) Drop packet if output device does not exist and ensure sufficient
headroom in nft_fwd_netdev before transmitting the skb.
3) Use the existing dup recursion counter in nft_fwd_netdev for the
neigh_xmit variant, from Weiming Shi.
4) Add .check_hooks interface to x_tables to detach the control plane
hook check based on the match/target configuration. Then, update
nft_compat to use .check_hooks from .validate path, this fixes a
lack of hook validation for several match/targets.
5) Fix incorrect .usersize in xt_CT, from Florian Westphal.
6) Fix a memleak with netdev tables in dormant state,
from Florian Westphal.
7) Several patches to check if the packet is a fragment, then skip
layer 4 inspection, for x_tables and nf_tables; as well as common
nf_socket infrastructure. The xt_hashlimit match drops fragments
to stay consistent with the existing approach when failing to parse
the layer 4 protocol header.
8) Ensure sufficient headroom in the flowtable before transmitting
the skb.
9) Fix the flowtable inline vlan approach for double-tagged vlan:
Reverse the iteration over .encap[] since it represents the
encapsulation as seen from the ingress path. Postpone pushing
layer 2 header so output device is available to calculate needed
headroom. Finally, add and use nf_flow_vlan_push() to fix it.
10) Fix flowtable inline pppoe with GSO packets. Moreover, use
FLOW_OFFLOAD_XMIT_DIRECT to fill up destination hardware
address since neighbour cache does not exist in pppoe.
11) Use skb_pull_rcsum() to decapsulate vlan and pppoe headers, for
double-tagged vlan in particular this should provide some benefits
in certain scenarios.
More notes regarding 9-11):
- sashiko is also signalling to use it for IPIP headers, but that needs
more adjustments such setting skb->protocol after removing the IPIP
header, will follow up in a separated patch.
- I plan to submit selftests to cover double-tagged-vlan. As for pppoe,
it should be possible but that would mandate a few userspace dependencies.
This has been semi-automatically tested by me and reporters describing
broken double-vlan-tagged and pppoe currently in the flowtable.
