The blamed commit exposes a possible issue with flow_offload_teardown():
We might remove the offload bit of a conntrack entry that has been
offloaded again.
1. conntrack entry c1 is offloaded via flow f1 (f1->ct == c1).
2. f1 times out and is pushed back to slowpath, c1 offload bit is
removed. Due to bug, f1 is not unlinked from rhashtable right away.
3. a new packet arrives for the flow and re-offload is triggered, i.e.
f2->ct == c1. This is because lookup in flowtable skip entries with
teardown bit set.
4. Next flowtable gc cycle finds f1 again
5. flow_offload_teardown() is called again for f1 and c1 offload bit is
removed again, even though we have f2 referencing the same entry.
This is harmless, but clearly not correct.
Fix the bug that exposes this: set 'teardown = true' to have the gc
callback unlink the flowtable entry from the table right away instead of
the unintentional defer to the next round.
Also prevent flow_offload_teardown() from fixing up the ct state more than
once: We could also be called from the data path or a notifier, not only
from the flowtable gc callback.
NF_FLOW_TEARDOWN can never be unset, so we can use it as synchronization
point: if we observe did not see a 0 -> 1 transition, then another CPU
is already doing the ct state fixups for us.

ymm7 is reloaded with new packet data (pkt[9]) but it still holds data

kzalloc() already zero-initializes the destination buffer, making
strscpy() sufficient for safely copying the name. The additional NUL-
padding performed by strscpy_pad() is unnecessary.
The size parameter is optional, and strscpy() automatically determines
the size of the destination buffer using sizeof() if the argument is
omitted. This makes the explicit sizeof() call unnecessary; remove it.

nf_conntrack_max and nf_conntrack_expect_max sysctls were authorized to
be written any negative value, which would then be stored in the
unsigned int variables nf_conntrack_max and nf_ct_expect_max variables.
While the do_proc_dointvec_conv function is supposed to limit writing
handled by proc_dointvec proc_handler to INT_MAX. Such a negative value
being written in an unsigned int leads to a very high value, exceeding
this limit.
Moreover, the nf_conntrack_expect_max sysctl documentation specifies the
minimum value is 1.
The proc_handlers have thus been updated to proc_dointvec_minmax in
order to specify the following write bounds :
* Bound nf_conntrack_max sysctl writings between SYSCTL_ZERO
and SYSCTL_INT_MAX.
* Bound nf_conntrack_expect_max sysctl writings between SYSCTL_ONE
and SYSCTL_INT_MAX as defined in the sysctl documentation.
With this patch applied, sysctl writes outside the defined in the bound
will thus lead to a write error :

The get->num_services variable is an unsigned int which is controlled by

does not overflow an unsigned long, however, we are saving the result to
an int so the calculation can overflow.
Both "len" and "get->num_services" come from the user. This check is
just a sanity check to help the user and ensure they are using the API
correctly. An integer overflow here is not a big deal. This has no
security impact.

The call to flush_work before tearing down a table from the netlink
notifier was supposed to make sure that all earlier updates (e.g. rule
add) that might reference that table have been processed.
Unfortunately, flush_work() waits for the last queued instance.
This could be an instance that is different from the one that we must
wait for.
This is because transactions are protected with a pernet mutex, but the
work item is global, so holding the transaction mutex doesn't prevent
another netns from queueing more work.
Make the work item pernet so that flush_work() will wait for all
transactions queued from this netns.
A welcome side effect is that we no longer need to wait for transaction
objects from foreign netns.
The gc work queue is still global. This seems to be ok because nft_set
structures are reference counted and each container structure owns a
reference on the net namespace.
The destroy_list is still protected by a global spinlock rather than
pernet one but the hold time is very short anyway.

nft_ct_pcpu_template is a per-CPU variable and relies on disabled BH for its
locking. The refcounter is read and if its value is set to one then the
refcounter is incremented and variable is used - otherwise it is already
in use and left untouched.
Without per-CPU locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT the
read-then-increment operation is not atomic and therefore racy.
This can be avoided by using unconditionally __refcount_inc() which will
increment counter and return the old value as an atomic operation.
In case the returned counter is not one, the variable is in use and we
need to decrement counter. Otherwise we can use it.
Use __refcount_inc() instead of read and a conditional increment.

The field length description provides the length of each separated key
field in the concatenation, each field gets rounded up to 32-bits to
calculate the pipapo rule width from pipapo_init(). The set key length
provides the total size of the key aligned to 32-bits.
Register-based arithmetics still allows for combining mismatching set
key length and field length description, eg. set key length 10 and field
description [ 5, 4 ] leading to pipapo width of 12.

data and moving synchronize_net() calls outside such lock.
- Extend drop reasons usage, adding net scheduler, AF_UNIX, bridge

- Add flow label selector support for fib rules, allowing traffic
redirection based on such header field.

netdev basechains without devices.
- Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, dealing better with fin,
reset and re-open events.
- Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on each
restart.
Protocols:
- A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing
several helpers into the core
- Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in
inet peers handling.
- Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6
address changes.
- Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing
aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP.
- Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets, to
avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection
lifetime is very short.
- Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel TLS
(for TLS 1.3 only).
- Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2.
- Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets,
gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet.
- Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in
conjunction with the congestion control algorithm.
Driver API:
- Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY
statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via
ethtool.
- Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired
hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively.
- Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS)
value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W
implementation.
- Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support.
- Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib
implementation.
- Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation.
- Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Improved handling of LSM "secctx" strings through lsm_context struct
The LSM secctx string interface is from an older time when only one
LSM was supported, migrate over to the lsm_context struct to better
support the different LSMs we now have and make it easier to support
new LSMs in the future.
These changes explain the Rust, VFS, and networking changes in the
diffstat.
- Only build lsm_audit.c if CONFIG_SECURITY and CONFIG_AUDIT are
enabled
Small tweak to be a bit smarter about when we build the LSM's common
audit helpers.
- Check for absurdly large policies from userspace in SafeSetID
SafeSetID policies rules are fairly small, basically just "UID:UID",
it easy to impose a limit of KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE on policy writes which
helps quiet a number of syzbot related issues. While work is being
done to address the syzbot issues through other mechanisms, this is a
trivial and relatively safe fix that we can do now.
- Various minor improvements and cleanups
A collection of improvements to the kernel selftests, constification
of some function parameters, removing redundant assignments, and
local variable renames to improve readability.

tcp rst/fin packet triggers an immediate teardown of the flow which
results in sending flows back to the classic forwarding path.
This behaviour was introduced by:
da5984e510 ("netfilter: nf_flow_table: add support for sending flows back to the slow path")
b6f27d322a ("netfilter: nf_flow_table: tear down TCP flows if RST or FIN was seen")
whose goal is to expedite removal of flow entries from the hardware
table. Before these patches, the flow was released after the flow entry
timed out.
However, this approach leads to packet races when restoring the
conntrack state as well as late flow re-offload situations when the TCP
connection is ending.
This patch adds a new CLOSING state that is is entered when tcp rst/fin
packet is seen. This allows for an early removal of the flow entry from
the hardware table. But the flow entry still remains in software, so tcp
packets to shut down the flow are not sent back to slow path.
If syn packet is seen from this new CLOSING state, then this flow enters
teardown state, ct state is set to TCP_CONNTRACK_CLOSE state and packet
is sent to slow path, so this TCP reopen scenario can be handled by
conntrack. TCP_CONNTRACK_CLOSE provides a small timeout that aims at
quickly releasing this stale entry from the conntrack table.
Moreover, skip hardware re-offload from flowtable software packet if the
flow is in CLOSING state.

Tear down the flow entry in the unlikely case that the interface mtu
changes, this gives the flow a chance to refresh the cached mtu,
otherwise such refresh does not occur until flow entry expires.

Offload nf_conn entries may not see traffic for a very long time.
To prevent incorrect 'ct is stale' checks during nf_conntrack table
lookup, the gc worker extends the timeout nf_conn entries marked for
offload to a large value.
The existing logic suffers from a few problems.
Garbage collection runs without locks, its unlikely but possible
that @ct is removed right after the 'offload' bit test.
In that case, the timeout of a new/reallocated nf_conn entry will
be increased.
Prevent this by obtaining a reference count on the ct object and
re-check of the confirmed and offload bits.
If those are not set, the ct is being removed, skip the timeout
extension in this case.
Parallel teardown is also problematic:
cpu1 cpu2
gc_worker
calls flow_offload_teardown()
tests OFFLOAD bit, set
clear OFFLOAD bit
ct->timeout is repaired (e.g. set to timeout[UDP_CT_REPLIED])
nf_ct_offload_timeout() called
expire value is fetched
<INTERRUPT>
-> NF_CT_DAY timeout for flow that isn't offloaded
(and might not see any further packets).
Use cmpxchg: if ct->timeout was repaired after the 2nd 'offload bit' test
passed, then ct->timeout will only be updated of ct->timeout was not
altered in between.
As we already have a gc worker for flowtable entries, ct->timeout repair
can be handled from the flowtable gc worker.
This avoids having flowtable specific logic in the conntrack core
and avoids checking entries that were never offloaded.
This allows to remove the nf_ct_offload_timeout helper.
Its safe to use in the add case, but not on teardown.

The conntrack entry is already public, there is a small chance that another
CPU is handling a packet in reply direction and racing with the tcp state
update.
Move this under ct spinlock.
This is done once, when ct is about to be offloaded, so this should
not result in a noticeable performance hit.

Do not drop a netdev-family chain if the last interface it is registered
for vanishes. Users dumping and storing the ruleset upon shutdown to
restore it upon next boot may otherwise lose the chain and all contained
rules. They will still lose the list of devices, a later patch will fix
that. For now, this aligns the event handler's behaviour with that for
flowtables.
The controversal situation at netns exit should be no problem here:
event handler will unregister the hooks, core nftables cleanup code will
drop the chain itself.

The existing rbtree implementation uses singleton elements to represent
ranges, however, userspace provides a set size according to the number
of ranges in the set.
Adjust provided userspace set size to the number of singleton elements
in the kernel by multiplying the range by two.
Check if the no-match all-zero element is already in the set, in such
case release one slot in the set size.

I am working on a tool that allows collecting network performance
metrics by using conntrack events.
Start time of a conntrack entry is used to evaluate seen_reply
latency, therefore the sooner it is timestamped, the better the
precision is.
In particular, when using this tool to compare the performance of the
same feature implemented using iptables/nftables/OVS it is crucial
to have the entry timestamped earlier to see any difference.
At this time, conntrack events can only get timestamped at recv time in
userspace, so there can be some delay between the event being generated
and the userspace process consuming the message.
There is sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp, which adds a
64bit timestamp (ns resolution) that records start and stop times,
but its not suited for this either, start time is the 'hashtable insertion
time', not 'conntrack allocation time'.
There is concern that moving the start-time moment to conntrack
allocation will add overhead in case of flooding, where conntrack
entries are allocated and released right away without getting inserted
into the hashtable.
Also, even if this was changed it would not with events other than
new (start time) and destroy (stop time).
Pablo suggested to add new CTA_TIMESTAMP_EVENT, this adds this feature.
The timestamp is recorded in case both events are requested and the
sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp toggle is enabled.
