9 daysnetfilter: conntrack: remove UDP-Lite conntrack supportFernando Fernandez Mancera
UDP-Lite (RFC 3828) socket support was recently retired from the core networking stack. As a follow-up of that, drop the connection tracker and NAT support for UDP-Lite in Netfilter. This patch removes CONFIG_NF_CT_PROTO_UDPLITE and scrubs UDP-Lite awareness from the conntrack core, NAT core, nft_ct, and ctnetlink. Please note that stateless packet inspection, matching, ipsets or logging support for IPPROTO_UDPLITE is preserved. As conntrack no longer extracts UDP-Lite ports or tracks its L4 state, when performing NAT the UDP-Lite checksum cannot be updated anymore. That is an expected and acceptable consequence of removing UDP-Lite conntrack module. Signed-off-by: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

nft_ct_timeout_obj_destroy() frees the timeout object with kfree() immediately after nf_ct_untimeout(), without waiting for an RCU grace period. Concurrent packet processing on other CPUs may still hold RCU-protected references to the timeout object obtained via rcu_dereference() in nf_ct_timeout_data(). Add an rcu_head to struct nf_ct_timeout and use kfree_rcu() to defer freeing until after an RCU grace period, matching the approach already used in nfnetlink_cttimeout.c.

Currently: add rule netdev x y ip saddr 1.1.1.1 does not work with neither double-tagged vlan nor pppoe packets. This is because the network and transport header offset are not pointing to the IP and transport protocol headers in the stack. This patch expands NFT_META_PROTOCOL and NFT_META_L4PROTO to parse double-tagged vlan and pppoe packets so matching network and transport header fields becomes possible with the existing userspace generated bytecode. Note that this parser only supports double-tagged vlan which is composed of vlan offload + vlan header in the skb payload area for simplicity. NFT_META_PROTOCOL is used by bridge and netdev family as an implicit dependency in the bytecode to match on network header fields. Similarly, there is also NFT_META_L4PROTO, which is also used as an implicit dependency when matching on the transport protocol header fields.

2026-03-26netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: store netns and zone in expectationPablo Neira Ayuso
__nf_ct_expect_find() and nf_ct_expect_find_get() are called under rcu_read_lock() but they dereference the master conntrack via exp->master. Since the expectation does not hold a reference on the master conntrack, this could be dying conntrack or different recycled conntrack than the real master due to SLAB_TYPESAFE_RCU. Store the netns, the master_tuple and the zone in struct nf_conntrack_expect as a safety measure. This patch is required by the follow up fix not to dump expectations that do not belong to this netns.

2026-03-26netfilter: ctnetlink: ensure safe access to master conntrackPablo Neira Ayuso
Holding reference on the expectation is not sufficient, the master conntrack object can just go away, making exp->master invalid. To access exp->master safely: - Grab the nf_conntrack_expect_lock, this gets serialized with clean_from_lists() which also holds this lock when the master conntrack goes away. - Hold reference on master conntrack via nf_conntrack_find_get(). Not so easy since the master tuple to look up for the master conntrack is not available in the existing problematic paths. This patch goes for extending the nf_conntrack_expect_lock section to address this issue for simplicity, in the cases that are described below this is just slightly extending the lock section. The add expectation command already holds a reference to the master conntrack from ctnetlink_create_expect(). However, the delete expectation command needs to grab the spinlock before looking up for the expectation. Expand the existing spinlock section to address this to cover the expectation lookup. Note that, the nf_ct_expect_iterate_net() calls already grabs the spinlock while iterating over the expectation table, which is correct. The get expectation command needs to grab the spinlock to ensure master conntrack does not go away. This also expands the existing spinlock section to cover the expectation lookup too. I needed to move the netlink skb allocation out of the spinlock to keep it GFP_KERNEL. For the expectation events, the IPEXP_DESTROY event is already delivered under the spinlock, just move the delivery of IPEXP_NEW under the spinlock too because the master conntrack event cache is reached through exp->master. While at it, add lockdep notations to help identify what codepaths need to grab the spinlock. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2026-03-26netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: honor expectation helper fieldPablo Neira Ayuso
The expectation helper field is mostly unused. As a result, the netfilter codebase relies on accessing the helper through exp->master. Always set on the expectation helper field so it can be used to reach the helper. nf_ct_expect_init() is called from packet path where the skb owns the ct object, therefore accessing exp->master for the newly created expectation is safe. This saves a lot of updates in all callsites to pass the ct object as parameter to nf_ct_expect_init(). This is a preparation patches for follow up fixes.

2026-03-05netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: split gc into unlink and reclaim phaseFlorian Westphal
Yiming Qian reports Use-after-free in the pipapo set type: Under a large number of expired elements, commit-time GC can run for a very long time in a non-preemptible context, triggering soft lockup warnings and RCU stall reports (local denial of service). We must split GC in an unlink and a reclaim phase. We cannot queue elements for freeing until pointers have been swapped. Expired elements are still exposed to both the packet path and userspace dumpers via the live copy of the data structure. call_rcu() does not protect us: dump operations or element lookups starting after call_rcu has fired can still observe the free'd element, unless the commit phase has made enough progress to swap the clone and live pointers before any new reader has picked up the old version.

2026-02-06netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: validate open interval overlapPablo Neira Ayuso
Open intervals do not have an end element, in particular an open interval at the end of the set is hard to validate because of it is lacking the end element, and interval validation relies on such end element to perform the checks. This patch adds a new flag field to struct nft_set_elem, this is not an issue because this is a temporary object that is allocated in the stack from the insert/deactivate path. This flag field is used to specify that this is the last element in this add/delete command. The last flag is used, in combination with the start element cookie, to check if there is a partial overlap, eg. Already exists: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.254 Add interval: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.255 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ start element overlap Basically, the idea is to check for an existing end element in the set if there is an overlap with an existing start element. However, the last open interval can come in any position in the add command, the corner case can get a bit more complicated: Already exists: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.254 Add intervals: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.255,255.255.255.0-255.255.255.254 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ start element overlap To catch this overlap, annotate that the new start element is a possible overlap, then report the overlap if the next element is another start element that confirms that previous element in an open interval at the end of the set. For deletions, do not update the start cookie when deleting an open interval, otherwise this can trigger spurious EEXIST when adding new elements. Unfortunately, there is no NFT_SET_ELEM_INTERVAL_OPEN flag which would make easier to detect open interval overlaps.

2026-02-06netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: do shared-unconfirmed check before segmentationFlorian Westphal
Ulrich reports a regression with nfqueue: If an application did not set the 'F_GSO' capability flag and a gso packet with an unconfirmed nf_conn entry is received all packets are now dropped instead of queued, because the check happens after skb_gso_segment(). In that case, we did have exclusive ownership of the skb and its associated conntrack entry. The elevated use count is due to skb_clone happening via skb_gso_segment(). Move the check so that its peformed vs. the aggregated packet. Then, annotate the individual segments except the first one so we can do a 2nd check at reinject time. For the normal case, where userspace does in-order reinjects, this avoids packet drops: first reinjected segment continues traversal and confirms entry, remaining segments observe the confirmed entry. While at it, simplify nf_ct_drop_unconfirmed(): We only care about unconfirmed entries with a refcnt > 1, there is no need to special-case dying entries. This only happens with UDP. With TCP, the only unconfirmed packet will be the TCP SYN, those aren't aggregated by GRO. Next patch adds a udpgro test case to cover this scenario.

After the optimization to only perform one GC per jiffy, a new problem was introduced. If more than 8 new connections are tracked per jiffy the list won't be cleaned up fast enough possibly reaching the limit wrongly. In order to prevent this issue, only skip the GC if it was already triggered during the same jiffy and the increment is lower than the clean up limit. In addition, increase the clean up limit to 64 connections to avoid triggering GC too often and do more effective GCs. This has been tested using a HTTP server and several performance tools while having nft_connlimit/xt_connlimit or OVS limit configured. Output of slowhttptest + OVS limit at 52000 connections: slow HTTP test status on 340th second: initializing: 0 pending: 432 connected: 51998 error: 0 closed: 0 service available: YES Fixes: d265929930e2 ("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC") Reported-by: Aleksandra Rukomoinikova <ARukomoinikova@k2.cloud> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netfilter/b2064e7b-0776-4e14-adb6-c68080987471@k2.cloud/ Signed-off-by: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

But there are cases where we could avoid revalidation. Consider: 1 input -> j2 -> j3 2 input -> j2 -> j3 3 input -> j1 -> j2 -> j3 Then the second rule does not need to revalidate j2, and, by extension j3, because this was already checked during validation of the first rule. We need to validate it only for rule 3. This is needed because chain loop detection also ensures we do not exceed the jump stack: Just because we know that j2 is cycle free, its last jump might now exceed the allowed stack size. We also need to update all reachable chains with the new largest observed call depth. Care has to be taken to revalidate even if the chain depth won't be an issue: chain validation also ensures that expressions are not called from invalid base chains. For example, the masquerade expression can only be called from NAT postrouting base chains. Therefore we also need to keep record of the base chain context (type, hooknum) and revalidate if the chain becomes reachable from a different hook location.

2025-11-28netfilter: nf_conncount: rework API to use sk_buff directlyFernando Fernandez Mancera
When using nf_conncount infrastructure for non-confirmed connections a duplicated track is possible due to an optimization introduced since commit d265929930e2 ("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC"). In order to fix this introduce a new conncount API that receives directly an sk_buff struct. It fetches the tuple and zone and the corresponding ct from it. It comes with both existing conncount variants nf_conncount_count_skb() and nf_conncount_add_skb(). In addition remove the old API and adjust all the users to use the new one. This way, for each sk_buff struct it is possible to check if there is a ct present and already confirmed. If so, skip the add operation.

Use dev_queue_xmit() for the XMIT_NEIGH case. Store the interface index of the real device behind the vlan/pppoe device, this introduces an extra lookup for the real device in the xmit path because rt->dst.dev provides the vlan/pppoe device. XMIT_NEIGH now looks more similar to XMIT_DIRECT but the check for stale dst and the neighbour lookup still remain in place which is convenient to deal with network topology changes. Note that nft_flow_route() needs to relax the check for _XMIT_NEIGH so the existing basic xfrm offload (which only works in one direction) does not break.

2025-09-02netfilter: nf_tables: allow iter callbacks to sleepFlorian Westphal
Quoting Sven Auhagen: we do see on occasions that we get the following error message, more so on x86 systems than on arm64: Error: Could not process rule: Cannot allocate memory delete table inet filter It is not a consistent error and does not happen all the time. We are on Kernel 6.6.80, seems to me like we have something along the lines of the nf_tables: allow clone callbacks to sleep problem using GFP_ATOMIC. As hinted at by Sven, this is because of GFP_ATOMIC allocations during set flush. When set is flushed, all elements are deactivated. This triggers a set walk and each element gets added to the transaction list. The rbtree and rhashtable sets don't allow the iter callback to sleep: rbtree walk acquires read side of an rwlock with bh disabled, rhashtable walk happens with rcu read lock held. Rbtree is simple enough to resolve: When the walk context is ITER_READ, no change is needed (the iter callback must not deactivate elements; we're not in a transaction). When the iter type is ITER_UPDATE, the rwlock isn't needed because the caller holds the transaction mutex, this prevents any and all changes to the ruleset, including add/remove of set elements. Rhashtable is slightly more complex. When the iter type is ITER_READ, no change is needed, like rbtree. For ITER_UPDATE, we hold transaction mutex which prevents elements from getting free'd, even outside of rcu read lock section. So build a temporary list of all elements while doing the rcu iteration and then call the iterator in a second pass. The disadvantage is the need to iterate twice, but this cost comes with the benefit to allow the iter callback to use GFP_KERNEL allocations in a followup patch. The new list based logic makes it necessary to catch recursive calls to the same set earlier. Such walk -> iter -> walk recursion for the same set can happen during ruleset validation in case userspace gave us a bogus (cyclic) ruleset where verdict map m jumps to chain that sooner or later also calls "vmap @m". Before the new ->in_update_walk test, the ruleset is rejected because the infinite recursion causes ctx->level to exceed the allowed maximum. But with the new logic added here, elements would get skipped: nft_rhash_walk_update would see elements that are on the walk_list of an older stack frame. As all recursive calls into same map results in -EMLINK, we can avoid this problem by using the new in_update_walk flag and reject immediately. Next patch converts the problematic GFP_ATOMIC allocations.

2025-07-17netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix crash due to removal of uninitialised entryFlorian Westphal
A crash in conntrack was reported while trying to unlink the conntrack entry from the hash bucket list: [exception RIP: __nf_ct_delete_from_lists+172] [..] #7 [ff539b5a2b043aa0] nf_ct_delete at ffffffffc124d421 [nf_conntrack] #8 [ff539b5a2b043ad0] nf_ct_gc_expired at ffffffffc124d999 [nf_conntrack] #9 [ff539b5a2b043ae0] __nf_conntrack_find_get at ffffffffc124efbc [nf_conntrack] [..] The nf_conn struct is marked as allocated from slab but appears to be in a partially initialised state: ct hlist pointer is garbage; looks like the ct hash value (hence crash). ct->status is equal to IPS_CONFIRMED|IPS_DYING, which is expected ct->timeout is 30000 (=30s), which is unexpected. Everything else looks like normal udp conntrack entry. If we ignore ct->status and pretend its 0, the entry matches those that are newly allocated but not yet inserted into the hash: - ct hlist pointers are overloaded and store/cache the raw tuple hash - ct->timeout matches the relative time expected for a new udp flow rather than the absolute 'jiffies' value. If it were not for the presence of IPS_CONFIRMED, __nf_conntrack_find_get() would have skipped the entry. Theory is that we did hit following race: cpu x cpu y cpu z found entry E found entry E E is expired <preemption> nf_ct_delete() return E to rcu slab init_conntrack E is re-inited, ct->status set to 0 reply tuplehash hnnode.pprev stores hash value. cpu y found E right before it was deleted on cpu x. E is now re-inited on cpu z. cpu y was preempted before checking for expiry and/or confirm bit. ->refcnt set to 1 E now owned by skb ->timeout set to 30000 If cpu y were to resume now, it would observe E as expired but would skip E due to missing CONFIRMED bit. nf_conntrack_confirm gets called sets: ct->status |= CONFIRMED This is wrong: E is not yet added to hashtable. cpu y resumes, it observes E as expired but CONFIRMED: <resumes> nf_ct_expired() -> yes (ct->timeout is 30s) confirmed bit set. cpu y will try to delete E from the hashtable: nf_ct_delete() -> set DYING bit __nf_ct_delete_from_lists Even this scenario doesn't guarantee a crash: cpu z still holds the table bucket lock(s) so y blocks: wait for spinlock held by z CONFIRMED is set but there is no guarantee ct will be added to hash: "chaintoolong" or "clash resolution" logic both skip the insert step. reply hnnode.pprev still stores the hash value. unlocks spinlock return NF_DROP <unblocks, then crashes on hlist_nulls_del_rcu pprev> In case CPU z does insert the entry into the hashtable, cpu y will unlink E again right away but no crash occurs. Without 'cpu y' race, 'garbage' hlist is of no consequence: ct refcnt remains at 1, eventually skb will be free'd and E gets destroyed via: nf_conntrack_put -> nf_conntrack_destroy -> nf_ct_destroy. To resolve this, move the IPS_CONFIRMED assignment after the table insertion but before the unlock. Pablo points out that the confirm-bit-store could be reordered to happen before hlist add resp. the timeout fixup, so switch to set_bit and before_atomic memory barrier to prevent this. It doesn't matter if other CPUs can observe a newly inserted entry right before the CONFIRMED bit was set: Such event cannot be distinguished from above "E is the old incarnation" case: the entry will be skipped. Also change nf_ct_should_gc() to first check the confirmed bit. The gc sequence is: 1. Check if entry has expired, if not skip to next entry 2. Obtain a reference to the expired entry. 3. Call nf_ct_should_gc() to double-check step 1. nf_ct_should_gc() is thus called only for entries that already failed an expiry check. After this patch, once the confirmed bit check passes ct->timeout has been altered to reflect the absolute 'best before' date instead of a relative time. Step 3 will therefore not remove the entry. Without this change to nf_ct_should_gc() we could still get this sequence: 1. Check if entry has expired. 2. Obtain a reference. 3. Call nf_ct_should_gc() to double-check step 1: 4 - entry is still observed as expired 5 - meanwhile, ct->timeout is corrected to absolute value on other CPU and confirm bit gets set 6 - confirm bit is seen 7 - valid entry is removed again First do check 6), then 4) so the gc expiry check always picks up either confirmed bit unset (entry gets skipped) or expiry re-check failure for re-inited conntrack objects. This change cannot be backported to releases before 5.19. Without commit 8a75a2c17410 ("netfilter: conntrack: remove unconfirmed list") |= IPS_CONFIRMED line cannot be moved without further changes.

2025-07-03netfilter: conntrack: remove DCCP protocol supportPablo Neira Ayuso
The DCCP socket family has now been removed from this tree, see: 8bb3212be4b4 ("Merge branch 'net-retire-dccp-socket'") Remove connection tracking and NAT support for this protocol, this should not pose a problem because no DCCP traffic is expected to be seen on the wire. As for the code for matching on dccp header for iptables and nftables, mark it as deprecated and keep it in place. Ruleset restoration is an atomic operation. Without dccp matching support, an astray match on dccp could break this operation leaving your computer with no policy in place, so let's follow a more conservative approach for matches. Add CONFIG_NFT_EXTHDR_DCCP which is set to 'n' by default to deprecate dccp extension support. Similarly, label CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_DCCP as deprecated too and also set it to 'n' by default. Code to match on DCCP protocol from ebtables also remains in place, this is just a few checks on IPPROTO_DCCP from _check() path which is exercised when ruleset is loaded. There is another use of IPPROTO_DCCP from the _check() path in the iptables multiport match. Another check for IPPROTO_DCCP from the packet in the reject target is also removed. So let's schedule removal of the dccp matching for a second stage, this should not interfer with the dccp retirement since this is only matching on the dccp header. Cc: "David S.

2025-05-23netfilter: nf_tables: Add notifications for hook changesPhil Sutter
Notify user space if netdev hooks are updated due to netdev add/remove events. Send minimal notification messages by introducing NFT_MSG_NEWDEV/DELDEV message types describing a single device only. Upon NETDEV_CHANGENAME, the callback has no information about the interface's old name. To provide a clear message to user space, include the hook's stored interface name in the notification.
