netfilter: move nf_reinject into nfnetlink_queue modules

No need to keep this in the core, move it to the nfnetlink_queue module.
nf_reroute is moved too, there were no other callers.

treewide: use get_random_u32() when possible

The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around
get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to
the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is
just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find
and replace.

netfilter: nf_queue: fix possible use-after-free

Eric Dumazet says:
The sock_hold() side seems suspect, because there is no guarantee
that sk_refcnt is not already 0.

On failure, we cannot queue the packet and need to indicate an
error. The packet will be dropped by the caller.

netfilter: nf_queue: move hookfn registration out of struct net

This was done to detect when the pernet->init() function was not called
yet, by checking if net->nf.queue_handler is NULL.

Once the nfnetlink_queue module is active, all struct net pointers
contain the same address. So place this back in nf_queue.c.

Handle the 'netns error unwind' test by checking nfnl_queue_net for a
NULL pointer and add a comment for this.

netfilter: nf_queue: place bridge physports into queue_entry struct

The refcount is done via entry->skb, which does work fine.
Major problem: When putting the refcount of the bridge ports, we
must always put the references while the skb is still around.

However, we will need to put the references after okfn() to avoid
a possible 1 -> 0 -> 1 refcount transition, so we cannot use the
skb pointer anymore.

Place the physports in the queue entry structure instead to allow
for refcounting changes in the next patch.

bridge: netfilter: unroll NF_HOOK helper in bridge input path

Replace NF_HOOK() based invocation of the netfilter hooks with a private
copy of nf_hook_slow().

This copy has one difference: it can return the rx handler value expected
by the stack, i.e. RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED or RX_HANDLER_PASS.

This is needed by the next patch to invoke the ebtables
"broute" table via the standard netfilter hooks rather than the custom
"br_should_route_hook" indirection that is used now.

When the skb is to be "brouted", we must return RX_HANDLER_PASS from the
bridge rx input handler, but there is no way to indicate this via
NF_HOOK(), unless perhaps by some hack such as exposing bridge_cb in the
netfilter core or a percpu flag.

text data bss dec filename
3369 56 0 3425 net/bridge/br_input.o.before
3458 40 0 3498 net/bridge/br_input.o.after

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

netfilter: convert hook list to an array

This converts the storage and layout of netfilter hook entries from a
linked list to an array. After this commit, hook entries will be
stored adjacent in memory. The next pointer is no longer required.

The ops pointers are stored at the end of the array as they are only
used in the register/unregister path and in the legacy br_netfilter code.

nf_unregister_net_hooks() is slower than needed as it just calls
nf_unregister_net_hook in a loop (i.e. at least n synchronize_net()
calls), this will be addressed in followup patch.

Test setup:
- ixgbe 10gbit
- netperf UDP_STREAM, 64 byte packets
- 5 hooks: (raw + mangle prerouting, mangle+filter input, inet filter):
empty mangle and raw prerouting, mangle and filter input hooks:

netfilter: nf_queue: only call synchronize_net twice if nf_queue is active

nf_unregister_net_hook(s) can avoid a second call to synchronize_net,
provided there is no nfqueue active in that net namespace (which is
the common case).

This also gets rid of the extra arg to nf_queue_nf_hook_drop(), normally
this gets called during netns cleanup so no packets should be queued.

For the rare case of base chain being unregistered or module removal
while nfqueue is in use the extra hiccup due to the packet drops isn't
a big deal.

The simple fix for this requires a new pernet variable for struct
nf_queue that indicates when it is safe to use the dynamically
allocated nf_queue state.

As we need a variable anyway make nf_register_queue_handler and
nf_unregister_queue_handler pernet. This allows the existing logic of
when it is safe to use the state from the nfnetlink_queue module to be
reused with no changes except for making it per net.

The syncrhonize_rcu from nf_unregister_queue_handler is moved to a new
function nfnl_queue_net_exit_batch so that the worst case of having a
syncrhonize_rcu in the pernet exit path is not experienced in batch
mode.

Add code to nf_unregister_hook to flush the nf_queue when a hook is

I tested what would happen if we do not flush queued packets and was

to stop the nf_queue listening process, to delete all of the nf_tables,

netfilter: Use nf_hook_state in nf_queue_entry.

That way we don't have to reinstantiate another nf_hook_state
on the stack of the nf_reinject() path.

netfilter: xt_NFQUEUE: separate reusable code

This patch prepares the addition of nft_queue module by moving
reusable code into a header file.

This patch also converts NFQUEUE to use prandom_u32 to initialize
the random jhash seed as suggested by Florian Westphal.

netfilter: Remove extern from function prototypes

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

netfilter: move skb_gso_segment into nfnetlink_queue module

skb_gso_segment is expensive, so it would be nice if we could
avoid it in the future. However, userspace needs to be prepared
to receive larger-than-mtu-packets (which will also have incorrect
l3/l4 checksums), so we cannot simply remove it.

The plan is to add a per-queue feature flag that userspace can
set when binding the queue.

The problem is that in nf_queue, we only have a queue number,
not the queue context/configuration settings.

This patch should have no impact other than the skb_gso_segment
call now being in a function that has access to the queue config
data.

A new size attribute in nf_queue_entry is needed so
nfnetlink_queue can duplicate the entry of the gso skb
when segmenting the skb while also copying the route key.

The follow up patch adds switch to disable skb_gso_segment when
queue config says so.

netfilter: kill support for per-af queue backends

We used to have several queueing backends, but nowadays only
nfnetlink_queue remains.

In light of this there doesn't seem to be a good reason to
support per-af registering -- just hook up nfnetlink_queue on module
load and remove it on unload.

This means that the userspace BIND/UNBIND_PF commands are now obsolete;
the kernel will ignore them.

[NETFILTER]: nf_queue: move list_head/skb/id to struct nf_info

Move common fields for queue management to struct nf_info and rename it
to struct nf_queue_entry. The avoids one allocation/free per packet and
simplifies the code a bit.

Alternatively we could add some private room at the tail, but since
all current users use identical structs this seems easier.
