The target allows you to create rules in the "raw" and "mangle" tables
which set the skbuff mark by means of hash calculation within a given
range. The nfmark can influence the routing method (see "Use netfilter
MARK value as routing key") and can also be used by other subsystems to
change their behaviour.

This patch adds the infrastructure to add fine timeout tuning
over nfnetlink. Now you can use the NFNL_SUBSYS_CTNETLINK_TIMEOUT
subsystem to create/delete/dump timeout objects that contain some
specific timeout policy for one flow.
The follow up patches will allow you attach timeout policy object
to conntrack via the CT target and the conntrack extension
infrastructure.

We currently have two ways to account traffic in netfilter:
- iptables chain and rule counters:
# iptables -L -n -v
Chain INPUT (policy DROP 3 packets, 867 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
8 1104 ACCEPT all -- lo * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
- use flow-based accounting provided by ctnetlink:
# conntrack -L
tcp 6 431999 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.1.130 dst=212.106.219.168 sport=58152 dport=80 packets=47 bytes=7654 src=212.106.219.168 dst=192.168.1.130 sport=80 dport=58152 packets=49 bytes=66340 [ASSURED] mark=0 use=1
While trying to display real-time accounting statistics, we require
to pool the kernel periodically to obtain this information. This is
OK if the number of flows is relatively low. However, in case that
the number of flows is huge, we can spend a considerable amount of
cycles to iterate over the list of flows that have been obtained.
Moreover, if we want to obtain the sum of the flow accounting results
that match some criteria, we have to iterate over the whole list of
existing flows, look for matchings and update the counters.
This patch adds the extended accounting infrastructure for
nfnetlink which aims to allow displaying real-time traffic accounting
without the need of complicated and resource-consuming implementation
in user-space. Basically, this new infrastructure allows you to create
accounting objects. One accounting object is composed of packet and
byte counters.
In order to manipulate create accounting objects, you require the
new libnetfilter_acct library. It contains several examples of use:
libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-add http-traffic
libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-get
http-traffic = { pkts = 000000000000, bytes = 000000000000 };
Then, you can use one of this accounting objects in several iptables
rules using the new nfacct match (which comes in a follow-up patch):
# iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic
# iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic
The idea is simple: if one packet matches the rule, the nfacct match
updates the counters.

The patch adds the IP set core support to the kernel.
The IP set core implements a netlink (nfnetlink) based protocol by which
one can create, destroy, flush, rename, swap, list, save, restore sets,
and add, delete, test elements from userspace. For simplicity (and backward
compatibilty and for not to force ip(6)tables to be linked with a netlink
library) reasons a small getsockopt-based protocol is also kept in order
to communicate with the ip(6)tables match and target.
The netlink protocol passes all u16, etc values in network order with
NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flag. The protocol enforces the proper use of the
NLA_F_NESTED and NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flags.
For other kernel subsystems (netfilter match and target) the API contains
the functions to add, delete and test elements in sets and the required calls
to get/put refereces to the sets before those operations can be performed.
The set types (which are implemented in independent modules) are stored
in a simple RCU protected list. A set type may have variants: for example
without timeout or with timeout support, for IPv4 or for IPv6. The sets
(i.e. the pointers to the sets) are stored in an array. The sets are
identified by their index in the array, which makes possible easy and
fast swapping of sets. The array is protected indirectly by the nfnl
mutex from nfnetlink. The content of the sets are protected by the rwlock
of the set.
There are functional differences between the add/del/test functions
for the kernel and userspace:
- kernel add/del/test: works on the current packet (i.e. one element)
- kernel test: may trigger an "add" operation in order to fill
out unspecified parts of the element from the packet (like MAC address)
- userspace add/del: works on the netlink message and thus possibly
on multiple elements from the IPSET_ATTR_ADT container attribute.
- userspace add: may trigger resizing of a set

This patch adds flow-based timestamping for conntracks. This
conntrack extension is disabled by default. Basically, we use
two 64-bits variables to store the creation timestamp once the
conntrack has been confirmed and the other to store the deletion
time. This extension is disabled by default, to enable it, you
have to:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp
This patch allows to save memory for user-space flow-based
loogers such as ulogd2. In short, ulogd2 does not need to
keep a hashtable with the conntrack in user-space to know
when they were created and destroyed, instead we use the
kernel timestamp. If we want to have a sane IPFIX implementation
in user-space, this nanosecs resolution timestamps are also
useful. Other custom user-space applications can benefit from
this via libnetfilter_conntrack.
This patch modifies the /proc output to display the delta time
in seconds since the flow start. You can also obtain the
flow-start date by means of the conntrack-tools.

This patch implements the "second best choice".
Since the netbios-ns conntrack module uses the same helper
functionality as the snmp, only one helper function is added

This patch adds a new netfilter target which creates audit records
for packets traversing a certain chain.
It can be used to record packets which are rejected administraively
as follows:
-N AUDIT_DROP
-A AUDIT_DROP -j AUDIT --type DROP
-A AUDIT_DROP -j DROP
a rule which would typically drop or reject a packet would then
invoke the new chain to record packets before dropping them.
-j AUDIT_DROP
The module is protocol independant and works for iptables, ip6tables
and ebtables.
The following information is logged:
- netfilter hook
- packet length
- incomming/outgoing interface
- MAC src/dst/proto for ethernet packets
- src/dst/protocol address for IPv4/IPv6
- src/dst port for TCP/UDP/UDPLITE
- icmp type/code

Fix dependencies of netfilter realm match: it depends on NET_CLS_ROUTE,
which itself depends on NET_SCHED; this dependency is missing from netfilter.
Since matching on realms is also useful without having NET_SCHED enabled and
the option really only controls whether the tclassid member is included in
route and dst entries, rename the config option to IP_ROUTE_CLASSID and move
it outside of traffic scheduling context to get rid of the NET_SCHED dependeny.

One of the previous tproxy related patches split IPv6 defragmentation and
connection tracking, but did not correctly add Kconfig stanzas to handle the
new dependencies correctly. This patch fixes that by making the config options
mirror the setup we have for IPv4: a distinct config option for defragmentation
that is automatically selected by both connection tracking and
xt_TPROXY/xt_socket.
The patch also changes the #ifdefs enclosing IPv6 specific code in xt_socket
and xt_TPROXY: we only compile these in case we have ip6tables support enabled.

In some situations a CPU match permits a better spreading of
connections, or select targets only for a given cpu.
With Remote Packet Steering or multiqueue NIC and appropriate IRQ
affinities, we can distribute trafic on available cpus, per session.
(all RX packets for a given flow is handled by a given cpu)
Some legacy applications being not SMP friendly, one way to scale a
server is to run multiple copies of them.
Instead of randomly choosing an instance, we can use the cpu number as a
key so that softirq handler for a whole instance is running on a single
cpu, maximizing cache effects in TCP/UDP stacks.
Using NAT for example, a four ways machine might run four copies of
server application, using a separate listening port for each instance,
but still presenting an unique external port :
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 0 \
-j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 1 \
-j REDIRECT --to-port 8081
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 2 \
-j REDIRECT --to-port 8082
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 3 \
-j REDIRECT --to-port 8083
