netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC

Currently nf_conncount can trigger garbage collection (GC)
at multiple places. Each GC process takes a spin_lock_bh
to traverse the nf_conncount_list. We found that when testing
port scanning use two parallel nmap, because the number of
connection increase fast, the nf_conncount_count and its
subsequent call to __nf_conncount_add take too much time,
causing several CPU lockup. This happens when user set the
conntrack limit to +20,000, because the larger the limit,
the longer the list that GC has to traverse.

The patch mitigate the performance issue by avoiding unnecessary
GC with a timestamp. Whenever nf_conncount has done a GC,
a timestamp is updated, and beforce the next time GC is
triggered, we make sure it's more than a jiffies.
By doin this we can greatly reduce the CPU cycles and
avoid the softirq lockup.

To reproduce it in OVS,
$ ovs-appctl dpctl/ct-set-limits zone=1,limit=20000
$ ovs-appctl dpctl/ct-get-limits

At another machine, runs two nmap
$ nmap -p1- <IP>
$ nmap -p1- <IP>

netfilter: nf_conncount: speculative garbage collection on empty lists

Instead of removing a empty list node that might be reintroduced soon
thereafter, tentatively place the empty list node on the list passed to
tree_nodes_free(), then re-check if the list is empty again before erasing
it from the tree.

netfilter: nf_conncount: merge lookup and add functions

'lookup' is always followed by 'add'.
Merge both and make the list-walk part of nf_conncount_add().

This also avoids one unneeded unlock/re-lock pair.

Extra care needs to be taken in count_tree, as we only hold rcu
read lock, i.e. we can only insert to an existing tree node after
acquiring its lock and making sure it has a nonzero count.

As a zero count should be rare, just fall back to insert_tree()
(which acquires tree lock).

This issue and its solution were pointed out by Shawn Bohrer
during patch review.

netfilter: nf_conncount: Add list lock and gc worker, and RCU for init tree search

This patch is originally from Florian Westphal.

This patch does the following 3 main tasks.

1) Add list lock to 'struct nf_conncount_list' so that we can
alter the lists containing the individual connections without holding the
main tree lock. It would be useful when we only need to add/remove to/from
a list without allocate/remove a node in the tree. With this change, we
update nft_connlimit accordingly since we longer need to maintain
a list lock in nft_connlimit now.

2) Use RCU for the initial tree search to improve tree look up performance.

3) Add a garbage collection worker. This worker is schedule when there
are excessive tree node that needed to be recycled.

Moreover,the rbnode reclaim logic is moved from search tree to insert tree
to avoid race condition.

netfilter: nf_conncount: Early exit in nf_conncount_lookup() and cleanup

This patch is originally from Florian Westphal.

This patch does the following three tasks.

It applies the same early exit technique for nf_conncount_lookup().

Since now we keep the number of connections in 'struct nf_conncount_list',
we no longer need to return the count in nf_conncount_lookup().

Moreover, we expose the garbage collection function nf_conncount_gc_list()
for nft_connlimit.

netfilter: nf_conncount: Switch to plain list

Original patch is from Florian Westphal.

This patch switches from hlist to plain list to store the list of
connections with the same filtering key in nf_conncount. With the
plain list, we can insert new connections at the tail, so over time
the beginning of list holds long-running connections and those are
expired, while the newly creates ones are at the end.

Later on, we could probably move checked ones to the end of the list,
so the next run has higher chance to reclaim stale entries in the front.

netfilter: nf_conncount: Fix garbage collection with zones

Currently, we use check_hlist() for garbage colleciton. However, we
use the ‘zone’ from the counted entry to query the existence of
existing entries in the hlist. This could be wrong when they are in
different zones, and this patch fixes this issue.

netfilter: connlimit: split xt_connlimit into front and backend

This allows to reuse xt_connlimit infrastructure from nf_tables.
The upcoming nf_tables frontend can just pass in an nftables register
as input key, this allows limiting by any nft-supported key, including
concatenations.

For xt_connlimit, pass in the zone and the ip/ipv6 address.
