Connection tracking helpers (specifically FTP) need to be called

two new hooks around 2.6.11 to maintain this ordering when NAT
modules were changed to get called from conntrack helpers directly.
The cost of netfilter hooks is quite high and sequence number

Adding extensions to confirmed conntracks is not allowed to avoid races

The has one side-effect, the connections existing before the NAT module
was loaded won't enter the bysource hash. The only case where this actually
makes a difference is in case of SNAT to a multirange where the IP before
NAT is also part of the range. Since old connections don't enter the
bysource hash the first new connection from the IP will have a new address
selected. This shouldn't matter at all.

Rule dumping is performed in two steps: first userspace gets the
ruleset size using getsockopt(SO_GET_INFO) and allocates memory,
then it calls getsockopt(SO_GET_ENTRIES) to actually dump the
ruleset. When another process changes the ruleset in between the
sizes from the first getsockopt call doesn't match anymore and
the kernel aborts. Unfortunately it returns EAGAIN, as for multiple
other possible errors, so userspace can't distinguish this case
from real errors.
Return EAGAIN so userspace can retry the operation.

Commit 9335f047fe aka
"[NETFILTER]: ip_tables: per-netns FILTER, MANGLE, RAW"
added per-netns _view_ of iptables rules. They were shown to user, but
ignored by filtering code. Now that it's possible to at least ping loopback,
per-netns tables can affect filtering decisions.
netns is taken in case of
PRE_ROUTING, LOCAL_IN -- from in device,
POST_ROUTING, LOCAL_OUT -- from out device,
FORWARD -- from in device which should be equal to out device's netns.
This code is relatively new, so BUG_ON was plugged.
Wrappers were added to a) keep code the same from CONFIG_NET_NS=n users
(overwhelming majority), b) consolidate code in one place -- similar
changes will be done in ipv6 and arp netfilter code.

Consider we are putting a clusterip_config entry with the "entries"

clusterip_config_entry_put: clusterip_config_find_get:

read_unlock_bh(&clusterip_lock);
write_lock_bh(&clusterip_lock);
list_del(&c->list);
write_unlock_bh(&clusterip_lock);
...

Oops! We have an entry returned by the clusterip_config_find_get,
which is a) not in list b) has a stale dev pointer.
The problems will happen when the CPU2 will release the entry - it
will remove it from the list for the 2nd time, thus spoiling it, and
will put a stale dev pointer.

Allow the use of SACK and window scaling when syncookies are used

echo when the ack is received.
Based on earlier work by Glenn Griffin.
This patch avoids increasing the size of structs by encoding TCP
options into the least significant bits of the timestamp and
by not using any 'timestamp offset'.
The downside is that the timestamp sent in the packet after the synack
will increase by several seconds.

Use vmalloc rather than alloc_pages to avoid wasting memory.
The problem is that tnode structure has a power of 2 sized array,
plus a header. So the current code wastes almost half the memory
allocated because it always needs the next bigger size to hold

This fixes kernel bugzilla 10371.
As reported by M.Piechaczek@osmosys.tv, if we try to grab a
char sized socket option value, as in:
unsigned char ttl = 255;
socklen_t len = sizeof(ttl);
setsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);
getsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);
The ttl returned will be wrong on big-endian, and on both little-
endian and big-endian the next three bytes in userspace are written
with garbage.
It's because of this test in do_ip_getsockopt():
if (len < sizeof(int) && len > 0 && val>=0 && val<255) {
It should allow a 'val' of 255 to pass here, but it doesn't so it
copies a full 'int' back to userspace.
On little-endian that will write the correct value into the location
but it spams on the next three bytes in userspace. On big endian it
writes the wrong value into the location and spams the next three
bytes.

MTU probe can cause some remedies for FRTO because the normal
packet ordering may be violated allowing FRTO to make a wrong

though). Thus it's safer to not run FRTO while MTU probe is
underway.
It seems that the basic FRTO variant should also look for an
skb at probe_seq.start to check if that's retransmitted one

This fixes Bugzilla #10384
tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking
whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use.
The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather
complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward
cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it
may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs
arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well,
leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next
cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate
ACK will fix the S counter.
More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to
just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but
it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie.,
the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs
had arrived.
So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state
when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out
might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out
overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports
of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel
before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit
1b6d427bb7 ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging
write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

Fixes a long-standing bug which makes NewReno recovery crippled.
With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in
violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet
and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow
because our code was built on top of assumption about valid
NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for
the overflow in a number of places.
It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if
tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is
likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried.
Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was
lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning
for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even
if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding
data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an
overflow.
Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in
time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here.
Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less
a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need
to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK
for 2.6.26.
In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect
is slightly different because of a small changes in the if
conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing
got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened.
