      [NETFILTER]: Simplify expect handling · 2a526ac9
      Rusty Russell authored
      Now we've changed expect handling, we can simplify it significantly.
      
      1) struct ip_conntrack_expect only exists until the connection
         matching it is created.  Now NAT is done directly at the time the
         expectation is matched, we don't need to keep this information
         around.
      
      2) The term 'master' is used everywhere to mean the connection that
         expected this connection.  The 'master' field in the new connection
         points straight to the master connection, and holds a reference.
      
      3) There is no direct link from the connection to the expectations it
         has created: we walk the global list to find them if we need to
         clean them up.  Each expectation holds a reference.
      
      4) The ip_conntrack_expect_tuple_lock is now a proper subset of
         ip_conntrack_lock, so we can eliminate it.
      
      5) Remove flags from helper: the policy of evicting the oldest
         expectation seems to be appropriate for everyone.
      
      6) ip_conntrack_expect_find_get() and ip_conntrack_expect_put() are no
         longer required.
      
      7) Remove reference count from expectations, and don't free when we
         fail ip_conntrack_expect_related(): have user call
         ip_conntrack_expect_free().

      [NETFILTER]: Fix up IRC, AMANDA, TFTP and SNMP · 55d349b2
      Rusty Russell authored
      Fixes up the other helpers for direct conntrack->NAT helper calling.
      SNMP doesn't really need a conntrack helper, but under this new model,
      the NAT helper will register at that point anyway: NAT helpers
      themselves are removed.

      [NETFILTER]: Call NAT helper modules directly from conntrack modules, fixup FTP · 92bb4f8e
      Rusty Russell authored
      Currently connection tracking and NAT helper modules for a protocol
      interact only indirectly (the conntrack module places information in
      the conntrack structure, which the NAT module pulls out).
      
      This leads to several issues:
      1) Both modules must know what port to watch, and must match.
      2) Identifying the particular packet which created the connection
         is cumbersome (TCP) or impossible (UDP).
      3) The connection tracking code sets up an expectation which the
         NAT code then has to change.
      4) The lack of direct symbol dependencies means we have to contrive
         one, since they are functionally dependent.
      
      Here is the current code flow:
      FTP CONTROL PACKET:
      NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING:
         ip_conntrack_in
            resolve_normal_ct
               init_conntrack: sets ct->helper to ip_conntrack_ftp.c:help()
         ct->help(): if PORT/PASV command:
            Sets exp->help.exp_ftp_info to tcp seq number of data.
            ip_conntrack_expect(): expects the connection
      
         ip_nat_setup_info: sets ct->nat.info->helper to ip_nat_ftp.c:help()
         ip_nat_fn:
            proto->exp_matches_pkt: if packet matches expectation
            ct->nat.info->helper(): If packet going client->server,
                  and packet data is one in ct_ftp_info:
               ftp_data_fixup():
                  ip_conntrack_change_expect(): change the expectation
                  Modify packet contents with new address.
      
      NF_IP_POST_ROUTING:
         ip_nat_fn
            ct->nat.info->helper(): If packet going server->client,
                  and packet data is one in ct_ftp_info:
               ftp_data_fixup():
                  ip_conntrack_change_expect(): change the expectation
                  Modify packet contents with new address.
      
      FTP DATA (EXPECTED) CONNECTION FIRST PACKET:
      NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING:
         ip_conntrack_in
            resolve_normal_ct
               init_conntrack: set ct->master.
         ip_nat_fn:
            master->nat.info.helper->expect()
               Set up source NAT mapping to match FTP control connection.
      
      NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING:
         ip_nat_fn:
            master->nat.info.helper->expect()
               Set up dest NAT mapping to match FTP control connection.
      
      
      The new flow looks like this:
      FTP CONTROL PACKET:
      NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING:
         ip_conntrack_in
            resolve_normal_ct
               init_conntrack: sets ct->helper to ip_conntrack_ftp.c:help()
      
      NF_IP_POST_ROUTING:
         ip_confirm:
            ct->helper->help:
               If !ip_nat_ftp_hook: ip_conntrack_expect().
               ip_nat_ftp: 
                  set exp->oldproto to old port.
                  ip_conntrack_change_expect(): change the expectation
                  set exp->expectfn to ftp_nat_expected.
                  Modify packet contents with new address.
      
      FTP DATA (EXPECTED) CONNECTION FIRST PACKET:
      NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING:
         ip_conntrack_in
            resolve_normal_ct
               init_conntrack: set ct->master.
               call exp->expectfn (ftp_nat_expected):
                   call ip_nat_follow_master().
      
      The big changes are that the ip_nat_ftp module sets ip_conntrack_ftp's
      ip_nat_ftp_hook when it initializes, so it calls the NAT code directly
      when a packet containing the expect information is found by the
      conntrack helper: and this interface can carry all the information
      these two want to share.  Also, that conntrack helper is called as the
      packet leaves the box, so there are no issues with expectations being
      set up before the packet has been filtered.  The NAT helper doesn't
      need to register and duplicate the conntrack ports.
      
      The other trick is ip_nat_follow_master(), which does the NAT setup
      all at once (source and destination NAT as required) such that the
      expected connection is NATed the same way the master connection
      was.
      
      We also call ip_conntrack_tcp_update() (which I incidentally neatened)
      after mangling a TCP packet; ip_nat_seq_adjust() does this, but now
      mangling is done at the last possible moment, after
      ip_nat_seq_adjust() was already called.

      [NETFILTER]: Fix overlapping expectations in existing expectation code · 13b9f4df
      Rusty Russell authored
      Change kmem_cache_free() calls in ip_conntrack_expect_related() to
      ip_conntrack_expect_put(): they should be equivalent but allows a hack
      in next patch (caller can keep expect).
      
      More importantly, a previous expectation should only be refreshed and return
      EEXIST if it's owned by the same connection (nfsim found this bug).

       - put a dev_id field in struct net_device, so that it uses space that
         would be wasted by padding otherwise.
       - if this fields is non-null let ipv6_generate_eui64 use the algorithm
         from the QETH code to generate an EUI that's different for each
         OS instance.  See code comments for details.

      [PATCH] Generic IRQ support for PA-RISC · 8953e802
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      Make PA-RISC use the generic interrupt handling code.  We need one tiny
      change to the generic code -- the addition of a data pointer to irq_desc.
      This shouldn't be a problem in terms of increasing size of irq_desc for
      other architectures as the struct is cacheline aligned.  It's now 32
      bytes on 32-bit platforms and 44/48 bytes on 64-bit platforms (assuming
      spinlock_t is 4 bytes on 32-bit and 4 or 8 bytes on 64-bit).

      [PATCH] random: add_input_randomness · 17d2208b
      Matt Mackall authored
      The input layer wants to send us an entropy event per input event and who are
      we to argue?  Create add_input_randomness with an input-friendly interface and
      kill the remaining two keyboard and mouse sources.
      
      This eliminates lots of duplicate entropy events while covering all the input
      bases nicely.  We now get two events per keystroke as we should, one down and
      one up.

      [PATCH] random: periodicity detection fix · 257fd23f
      Matt Mackall authored
      The input layer is now sending us a bunch of events in a row for each actual
      event.  This shows up weaknesses in the periodicity detector and using the
      high clock rate from get_clock: each keystroke is getting accounted as 10
      different maximal-entropy events.
      
      A brief touch on a trackpad will generate as much as 2000 maximal entropy
      events which is more than 2k of /dev/random output.  IOW, we're WAY
      overestimating input entropy.  Here's one keystroke:
      
      random 0024 0000 0000: mouse event
      random 0035 0000 0000: added 11 entropy credits to input

      random 0049 0000 0000: mouse event
      random 0060 0000 0000: added 11 entropy credits to input
      
      The first step to fixing this is to check periodicity and estimate entropy
      against a slow clock like jiffies.  We continue to mix in get_clock() rather
      than jiffies where available.
      
      This throws away most of the duplicate events and gives us more sensible
      entropy estimates, but we still duplicates from input.c and keyboard.c.
