2012-12-13patch to allow tracking dying and unconfirmed lists in conntrack to detect leaksGaurav Sinha
From patchwork Thu Nov 29 13:52:20 2012 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: conntrack: add support to dump the dying and unconfirmed list via ctnetlink Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 03:52:20 -0000 From: Pablo Neira <pablo@netfilter.org> X-Patchwork-Id: 202751 Message-Id: <1354197140-8498-1-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org> To: netfilter-devel@vger.kernel.org From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> This patch adds support for: conntrack -L dying conntrack -L unconfirmed To display the list of dying and unconfirmed conntracks. This provides some instrumentation in case that `conntrack -C` really deviates from what `conntrack -L | wc -l` says. Users like to check this to make sure things are going OK. Still, some conntrack objects may be still in the dying and the unconfirmed list. With this patch, we can also dump their content, before it was not possible. In normal cases both lists would be simply empty, or in the case of the dying list, you can observe that entries go slightly down in number.

2012-05-28conntrackd: generalize file descriptor infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso
This patch generalizes the select-based file descriptor infrastructure by allowing you to register file descriptors and its callbacks. Instead of hardcoding the descriptors that needs to be checked. Now, struct fds_item contains a callback and pointer to data that is passed to it: struct fds_item { struct list_head head; int fd; + void (*cb)(void *data); + void *data; }; Then, we check which ones are active in the select_main_step() function: list_for_each_entry(cur, &STATE(fds)->list, head) { if (FD_ISSET(cur->fd, &readfds)) cur->cb(cur->data); } And it invoked the corresponding callback. I had to slightly modify the channel infrastructure to fit it into the changes. This modularity is required for the upcoming cthelper support. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

2012-01-10conntrackd: support for expectation synchronizationPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds support to synchronize expectations between firewalls. This addition aims to re-use as much as possible of the existing infrastructure for stability reasons. The expectation support has been tested with the FTP helper. This extension requires libnetfilter_conntrack 1.0.0. If this is the first time you're playing with conntrackd, I *strongly* recommend you to get working setup of conntrackd without expectation support before as described in the documentation. Then, enabling expectation support is rather easy. To know more about expectations, if you're not familiar with them, I suggest you to read: "Netfilter's Connection Tracking System" http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/docs/login.pdf Reprinted from ;login: The Magazine of USENIX, vol. 31, no. 3 (Berkeley, CA: USENIX Association, 2006, pp40-45.) In short, expectations allow one Linux firewall to filter multi-flow traffic like FTP, SIP and H.323. In my testbed, there are two firewalls in a primary-backup configuration running keepalived. The use a couple of floating cluster IP address (192.168.0.100 and 192.168.1.100) that are used by the client. These firewalls protect one FTP server (192.168.1.2) that will be accessed by one client. In ASCII art, it looks like this: 192.168.0.100 192.168.1.100 eth1 eth2 fw-1 / \ FTP -- client ------ ------ server -- 192.168.0.2 \ / 192.168.1.2 fw-2 This is the rule-set for the firewalls: -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.0.2/32 -d 192.168.1.2/32 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.1.100 -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth2 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 21 --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -m state --state INVALID -j LOG --log-prefix "invalid: " The following steps detail how to check that the expectation support works fine for conntrackd: 1) You have to enable the expectation support in the configuration file with the following option: Sync { ... Options { ExpectationSync { ftp sip h323 } } } This enables expectation synchronization for the FTP, SIP and H.323 helpers. You can alternatively use: Sync { ... Options { ExpectationSync On } } To enable expectation synchronization for all helpers. 2) Make sure you have loaded the FTP helper in both firewalls. root@fw1# modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp root@fw2# modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp 3) Switch to the client. Start one FTP control connection to one server that is protected by the firewalls, enter passive mode: (term-1) user@client$ nc 192.168.1.2 21 220 dummy FTP server USER anonymous 331 Please specify the password. PASS nothing 230 Login successful. PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,2,163,11). This means that port 163*256+11=41739 will be used for the data traffic. Read this if you are not familiar with the FTP protocol: http://www.freefire.org/articles/ftpexample.php 3) Switch to fw-1 (primary) to check that the expectation is in the internal cache. root@fw1# conntrackd -i exp proto=6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=0 dport=41739 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.0.2 master-dst=192.168.1.2 sport=36390 dport=21 [active since 5s] 4) Switch to fw-2 (backup) to check that the expectation has been successfully replicated. root@fw2# conntrackd -e exp proto=6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=0 dport=41739 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.0.2 master-dst=192.168.1.2 sport=36390 dport=21 [active since 8s] 5) Make the primary firewall fw-1 fail. Now fw-2 becomes primary. 6) Switch to fw-2 (primary) to commit the external cache into the kernel. root@fw2# conntrackd -c exp The logs should display that the commit was successful: root@fw2# tail -100f /var/log/conntrackd.log [Wed Dec 7 22:16:31 2011] (pid=19195) [notice] committing external cache: expectations [Wed Dec 7 22:16:31 2011] (pid=19195) [notice] Committed 1 new entries [Wed Dec 7 22:16:31 2011] (pid=19195) [notice] commit has taken 0.000366 seconds 7) Switch to the client. Open a new terminal and connect to the port that has been announced by the server: (term-2) user@client$ nc -vvv 192.168.1.2 41739 (UNKNOWN) [192.168.1.2] 41739 (?) open 8) Switch to term-1 and ask for the file listing: [...] 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,2,163,11). LIST 9) Switch to term-2, it should display the listing. That means everything has worked fine. You may want to try disabling the expectation support and repeating the steps to check that *it does not work* without the state-synchronization. You can also display expectation statistics by means of: root@fwX# conntrackd -s exp This update requires no changes in the primary-backup.sh script that is used by the HA manager to interact with conntrackd. Thus, we provide a backward compatible command line interface. Regarding the Filter clause and expectations, we use the master conntrack to filter expectation events. The filtering is performed in user-space. No kernel-space filtering support for expectations yet (this support should go in libnetfilter_conntrack at some point). This patch also includes support to disable caching and to allow direct injection of expectations. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

2012-01-10conntrackd: remove cache_data_get_object and replace by direct pointerPablo Neira Ayuso
We now include one pointer to the object in the extra section. This is required to generalize this code for the expectation support. We consume 4-8 bytes extra, but we will not need more changes to support expectations which is a good idea.
2012-01-10conntrackd: simplify cache_get_extra functionPablo Neira Ayuso

2012-01-10conntrackd: generalize/cleanup network message building/parsingPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch generalizes the network message building and parsing to prepare the upcoming expectation support. Basically, it renames: - NET_T_STATE_* by NET_T_STATE_CT_*, as I plan to add NET_T_STATE_EXP_* - BUILD_NETMSG by BUILD_NETMSG_FROM_CT, and build_payload by ct2msg. I plan to add exp2msg. - parse_payload by msg2ct, since I plan to add msg2exp. - modify object_status_to_network_type to prepare the support of expectations. - add prefix ct_ to all parsing functions in parse.c, as we will have similar functions to convert messages to expectation objects.

2011-02-15cache: log if we received a commit request while already one in progressPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch improves the case in which we receive a commit request but we are already performing one. This behaviour is suspicious since the HA manager should not trigger a double master transition. Otherwise, something probably is not configured appropriately. This improves 98756c2608f0879a2322919c7441973216565272 "cache: close commit request if we already have one in progress".

2009-09-03conntrackd: net message memory allocation is unsafePablo Neira Ayuso
We cannot assume that we will not write in the net message before we send it, because the memory allocated for the net message (__net) is only reserved in BUILD_NETMSG (because of the { } block in it). This patch marks the buffer as static to avoid this problem. Based on a patch from Samuel Gauthier <samuel.gauthier@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2009-08-23conntrackd: add support state-replication based on TCPPablo Neira Ayuso

2009-08-21conntrackd: reduce the number of gettimeofday() syscallsPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch reduces the number of gettimeofday syscalls by caching the current time in a variable at the beginning of the main loop. Based on a suggestion from Vincent Jardin. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2009-08-19conntrackd: add `DisableExternalCache' clausePablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the clause `DisableExternalCache' that allows you to disable the external cache and to directly inject the entries into the kernel conntrack table. As a result, the CPU consumption of conntrackd increases. This clause can only be used with the FT-FW and the notrack synchronization modes, but not with the alarm mode.

2009-07-21conntrackd: add clause to enable ctnetlink reliable event deliveryPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the NetlinkEventsReliable clause, this is useful to turn on reliable Netlink event delivery. This features requires a Linux kernel >= 2.6.31. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2009-07-19conntrackd: rework commit not to fork a child processPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch reworks the commit phase to avoid the forking. This is particularly useful in active-active setups in which one node has to commit the external cache while it is receiving new entries to be added in the external cache. This results in really high commit times due to the penalty of the copy-on-write that fork performs. The default number of steps in one run loop is limited to 64 by now. No option to tune this parameter is still available via the configuration file. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
