net/sched: Only allow act_ct to bind to clsact/ingress qdiscs and shared blocks

2026-03-13T16:23:28Z

commit 11cb63b0d1a0685e0831ae3c77223e002ef18189 upstream. As Paolo said earlier [1]: "Since the blamed commit below, classify can return TC_ACT_CONSUMED while the current skb being held by the defragmentation engine. As reported by GangMin Kim, if such packet is that may cause a UaF when the defrag engine later on tries to tuch again such packet." act_ct was never meant to be used in the egress path, however some users are attaching it to egress today [2]. Attempting to reach a middle ground, we noticed that, while most qdiscs are not handling TC_ACT_CONSUMED, clsact/ingress qdiscs are. With that in mind, we address the issue by only allowing act_ct to bind to clsact/ingress qdiscs and shared blocks. That way it's still possible to attach act_ct to egress (albeit only with clsact).

act_ct: prepare for stolen verdict coming from conntrack and nat engine

2024-07-08T10:35:31Z

At this time, conntrack either returns NF_ACCEPT or NF_DROP. To improve debuging it would be nice to be able to replace NF_DROP verdict with NF_DROP_REASON() helper, This helper releases the skb instantly (so drop_monitor can pinpoint exact location) and returns NF_STOLEN. Prepare call sites to deal with this before introducing such changes in conntrack and nat core. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sched: act_ct: add netns into the key of tcf_ct_flow_table

2024-06-18T13:24:24Z

zones_ht is a global hashtable for flow_table with zone as key. However, it does not consider netns when getting a flow_table from zones_ht in tcf_ct_init(), and it means an act_ct action in netns A may get a flow_table that belongs to netns B if it has the same zone value. In Shuang's test with the TOPO: tcf2_c <---> tcf2_sw1 <---> tcf2_sw2 <---> tcf2_s tcf2_sw1 and tcf2_sw2 saw the same flow and used the same flow table, which caused their ct entries entering unexpected states and the TCP connection not able to end normally. This patch fixes the issue simply by adding netns into the key of tcf_ct_flow_table so that an act_ct action gets a flow_table that belongs to its own netns in tcf_ct_init(). Note that for easy coding we don't use tcf_ct_flow_table.nf_ft.net, as the ct_ft is initialized after inserting it to the hashtable in tcf_ct_flow_table_get() and also it requires to implement several functions in rhashtable_params including hashfn, obj_hashfn and obj_cmpfn.

net/sched: Add module aliases for cls_,sch_,act_ modules

2024-02-02T18:57:55Z

No functional change intended, aliases will be used in followup commits. Note for backporters: you may need to add aliases also for modules that are already removed in mainline kernel but still in your version. Patches were generated with the help of Coccinelle scripts like: cat >scripts/coccinelle/misc/tcf_alias.cocci </dev/null | \ sed 's/char module_alias = "\([^"]*\)";/MODULE_ALIAS_NET_CLS("\1");/' And analogously for: static struct tc_action_ops ops = { .kind = K, static struct Qdisc_ops ops = { .id = K, (Someone familiar would be able to fit those into one .cocci file without sed post processing.)
