netfilter: xt_mangle: only check verdict part of return value

These checks assume that the caller only returns NF_DROP without
any errno embedded in the upper bits.

This is fine right now, but followup patches will start to propagate
such errors to allow kfree_skb_drop_reason() in the called functions,
those would then indicate 'errno << 8 | NF_STOLEN'.

To not break things we have to mask those parts out.

netfilter: x_tables: never register tables by default

For historical reasons x_tables still register tables by default in the
initial namespace.
Only newly created net namespaces add the hook on demand.

This means that the init_net always pays hook cost, even if no filtering
rules are added (e.g. only used inside a single netns).

Note that the hooks are added even when 'iptables -L' is called.
This is because there is no way to tell 'iptables -A' and 'iptables -L'
apart at kernel level.

The only solution would be to register the table, but delay hook
registration until the first rule gets added (or policy gets changed).

That however means that counters are not hooked either, so 'iptables -L'
would always show 0-counters even when traffic is flowing which might be
unexpected.

This keeps table and hook registration consistent with what is already done
in non-init netns: first iptables(-save) invocation registers both table
and hooks.

This applies the same solution adopted for ebtables.
All tables register a template that contains the l3 family, the name
and a constructor function that is called when the initial table has to
be added.

netfilter: ip_tables: pass table pointer via nf_hook_ops

iptable_x modules rely on 'struct net' to contain a pointer to the
table that should be evaluated.

In order to remove these pointers from struct net, pass them via
the 'priv' pointer in a similar fashion as nf_tables passes the
rule data.

To do that, duplicate the nf_hook_info array passed in from the
iptable_x modules, update the ops->priv pointers of the copy to
refer to the table and then change the hookfn implementations to
just pass the 'priv' argument to the traverser.

After this patch, the xt_table pointers can already be removed
from struct net.

However, changes to struct net result in re-compile of the entire
network stack, so do the removal after arptables and ip6tables
have been converted as well.

netfilter: iptables: unregister the tables by name

xtables stores the xt_table structs in the struct net. This isn't
needed anymore, the structures could be passed via the netfilter hook
'private' pointer to the hook functions, which would allow us to remove
those pointers from struct net.

As a first step, reduce the number of accesses to the
net->ipv4.ip6table_{raw,filter,...} pointers.
This allows the tables to get unregistered by name instead of having to
pass the raw address.

The xt_table structure cane looked up by name+address family instead.

This patch is useless as-is (the backends still have the raw pointer
address), but it lowers the bar to remove those.

It also allows to put the 'was table registered in the first place' check
into ip_tables.c rather than have it in each table sub module.

netfilter: use actual socket sk rather than skb sk when routing harder

If netfilter changes the packet mark when mangling, the packet is
rerouted using the route_me_harder set of functions. Prior to this
commit, there's one big difference between route_me_harder and the
ordinary initial routing functions, described in the comment above
__ip_queue_xmit():

/* Note: skb->sk can be different from sk, in case of tunnels */
int __ip_queue_xmit(struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb, struct flowi *fl,

That function goes on to correctly make use of sk->sk_bound_dev_if,
rather than skb->sk->sk_bound_dev_if. And indeed the comment is true: a
tunnel will receive a packet in ndo_start_xmit with an initial skb->sk.
It will make some transformations to that packet, and then it will send
the encapsulated packet out of a *new* socket. That new socket will
basically always have a different sk_bound_dev_if (otherwise there'd be
a routing loop). So for the purposes of routing the encapsulated packet,
the routing information as it pertains to the socket should come from
that socket's sk, rather than the packet's original skb->sk. For that
reason __ip_queue_xmit() and related functions all do the right thing.

One might argue that all tunnels should just call skb_orphan(skb) before
transmitting the encapsulated packet into the new socket. But tunnels do
*not* do this -- and this is wisely avoided in skb_scrub_packet() too --
because features like TSQ rely on skb->destructor() being called when
that buffer space is truely available again. Calling skb_orphan(skb) too
early would result in buffers filling up unnecessarily and accounting
info being all wrong. Instead, additional routing must take into account
the new sk, just as __ip_queue_xmit() notes.

So, this commit addresses the problem by fishing the correct sk out of
state->sk -- it's already set properly in the call to nf_hook() in
__ip_local_out(), which receives the sk as part of its normal
functionality. So we make sure to plumb state->sk through the various
route_me_harder functions, and then make correct use of it following the
example of __ip_queue_xmit().

netfilter: remove defensive check on malformed packets from raw sockets

Users cannot forge malformed IPv4/IPv6 headers via raw sockets that they
can inject into the stack. Specifically, not for IPv4 since 55888dfb6ba7
("AF_RAW: Augment raw_send_hdrinc to expand skb to fit iphdr->ihl

IPv6 header available in the skbuff.

At quick glance, br_netfilter also validates layer 3 headers and it
drops malformed both IPv4 and IPv6 packets.

Therefore, let's remove this defensive check all over the place.

netfilter: xtables: don't hook tables by default

delay hook registration until the table is being requested inside a
namespace.

Historically, a particular table (iptables mangle, ip6tables filter, etc)
was registered on module load.

When netns support was added to iptables only the ip/ip6tables ruleset was
made namespace aware, not the actual hook points.

This means f.e. that when ipt_filter table/module is loaded on a system,
then each namespace on that system has an (empty) iptables filter ruleset.

In other words, if a namespace sends a packet, such skb is 'caught' by
netfilter machinery and fed to hooking points for that table (i.e. INPUT,
FORWARD, etc).

Thanks to Eric Biederman, hooks are no longer global, but per namespace.

This means that we can avoid allocation of empty ruleset in a namespace and
defer hook registration until we need the functionality.

We register a tables hook entry points ONLY in the initial namespace.
When an iptables get/setockopt is issued inside a given namespace, we check
if the table is found in the per-namespace list.

If not, we attempt to find it in the initial namespace, and, if found,
create an empty default table in the requesting namespace and register the
needed hooks.

Hook points are destroyed only once namespace is deleted, there is no
'usage count' (it makes no sense since there is no 'remove table' operation
in xtables api).

Once a hook is registered packets will be picked up, so all assignments

have to be moved to ip(6)t_register_table, else we can see NULL
