netfilter: conntrack: check SCTP_CID_SHUTDOWN_ACK for vtag setting in sctp_new

[ Upstream commit 6e348067ee4bc5905e35faa3a8fafa91c9124bc7 ]

The annotation says in sctp_new(): "If it is a shutdown ack OOTB packet, we
expect a return shutdown complete, otherwise an ABORT Sec 8.4 (5) and (8)".
However, it does not check SCTP_CID_SHUTDOWN_ACK before setting vtag[REPLY]
in the conntrack entry(ct).

Because of that, if the ct in Router disappears for some reason in [1]
with the packet sequence like below:

Client > Server: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 3201533963]
Server > Client: sctp (1) [INIT ACK] [init tag: 972498433]
Client > Server: sctp (1) [COOKIE ECHO]
Server > Client: sctp (1) [COOKIE ACK]
Client > Server: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3075057809]
Server > Client: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3075057809]
Server > Client: sctp (1) [HB REQ]
(the ct in Router disappears somehow) <-------- [1]
Client > Server: sctp (1) [HB ACK]
Client > Server: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3075057810]
Client > Server: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3075057810]
Client > Server: sctp (1) [HB REQ]
Client > Server: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3075057810]
Client > Server: sctp (1) [HB REQ]
Client > Server: sctp (1) [ABORT]

when processing HB ACK packet in Router it calls sctp_new() to initialize
the new ct with vtag[REPLY] set to HB_ACK packet's vtag.

Later when sending DATA from Client, all the SACKs from Server will get
dropped in Router, as the SACK packet's vtag does not match vtag[REPLY]
in the ct. The worst thing is the vtag in this ct will never get fixed
by the upcoming packets from Server.

This patch fixes it by checking SCTP_CID_SHUTDOWN_ACK before setting
vtag[REPLY] in the ct in sctp_new() as the annotation says. With this
fix, it will leave vtag[REPLY] in ct to 0 in the case above, and the
next HB REQ/ACK from Server is able to fix the vtag as its value is 0
in nf_conntrack_sctp_packet().

netfilter: handle the connecting collision properly in nf_conntrack_proto_sctp

This patch fixes it as below:

In SCTP_CID_INIT processing:
- clear ct->proto.sctp.init[!dir] if ct->proto.sctp.init[dir] &&
ct->proto.sctp.init[!dir]. (Scenario E)
- set ct->proto.sctp.init[dir].

In SCTP_CID_INIT_ACK processing:
- drop it if !ct->proto.sctp.init[!dir] && ct->proto.sctp.vtag[!dir] &&
ct->proto.sctp.vtag[!dir] != ih->init_tag. (Scenario B, Scenario C)
- drop it if ct->proto.sctp.init[dir] && ct->proto.sctp.init[!dir] &&
ct->proto.sctp.vtag[!dir] != ih->init_tag. (Scenario A)

In SCTP_CID_COOKIE_ACK processing:
- clear ct->proto.sctp.init[dir] and ct->proto.sctp.init[!dir].
(Scenario D)

Also, it's important to allow the ct state to move forward with cookie_echo
and cookie_ack from the opposite dir for the collision scenarios.

There are also other Scenarios where it should allow the packet through,
addressed by the processing above:

Scenario C: new CT is created by INIT_ACK.

Scenario D: start INIT on the existing ESTABLISHED ct.

Scenario E: start INIT after the old collision on the existing ESTABLISHED
ct.

netfilter: set default timeout to 3 secs for sctp shutdown send and recv state

In SCTP protocol, it is using the same timer (T2 timer) for SHUTDOWN and
SHUTDOWN_ACK retransmission. However in sctp conntrack the default timeout
value for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT state is 3 secs while it's 300
msecs for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV state.

As Paolo Valerio noticed, this might cause unwanted expiration of the ct
entry. In my test, with 1s tc netem delay set on the NAT path, after the
SHUTDOWN is sent, the sctp ct entry enters SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND
state. However, due to 300ms (too short) delay, when the SHUTDOWN_ACK is
sent back from the peer, the sctp ct entry has expired and been deleted,
and then the SHUTDOWN_ACK has to be dropped.

Also, it is confusing these two sysctl options always show 0 due to all
timeout values using sec as unit:

net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_sctp_timeout_shutdown_recd = 0
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_sctp_timeout_shutdown_sent = 0

This patch fixes it by also using 3 secs for sctp shutdown send and recv
state in sctp conntrack, which is also RTO.initial value in SCTP protocol.

Note that the very short time value for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV
was probably used for a rare scenario where SHUTDOWN is sent on 1st path
but SHUTDOWN_ACK is replied on 2nd path, then a new connection started
immediately on 1st path. So this patch also moves from SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV
to CLOSE when receiving INIT in the ORIGINAL direction.

netfilter: conntrack: unify established states for SCTP paths

An SCTP endpoint can start an association through a path and tear it
down over another one. That means the initial path will not see the
shutdown sequence, and the conntrack entry will remain in ESTABLISHED
state for 5 days.

By merging the HEARTBEAT_ACKED and ESTABLISHED states into one
ESTABLISHED state, there remains no difference between a primary or
secondary path. The timeout for the merged ESTABLISHED state is set to
210 seconds (hb_interval * max_path_retrans + rto_max). So, even if a
path doesn't see the shutdown sequence, it will expire in a reasonable
amount of time.

With this change in place, there is now more than one state from which
we can transition to ESTABLISHED, COOKIE_ECHOED and HEARTBEAT_SENT, so
handle the setting of ASSURED bit whenever a state change has happened
and the new state is ESTABLISHED. Removed the check for dir==REPLY since
the transition to ESTABLISHED can happen only in the reply direction.

netfilter: conntrack: add sctp DATA_SENT state

But, according to RFC 9260

netfilter: conntrack: add sctp DATA_SENT state

SCTP conntrack currently assumes that the SCTP endpoints will
probe secondary paths using HEARTBEAT before sending traffic.

But, according to RFC 9260, SCTP endpoints can send any traffic
on any of the confirmed paths after SCTP association is up.
SCTP endpoints that sends INIT will confirm all peer addresses
that upper layer configures, and the SCTP endpoint that receives
COOKIE_ECHO will only confirm the address it sent the INIT_ACK to.

So, we can have a situation where the INIT sender can start to
use secondary paths without the need to send HEARTBEAT. This patch
allows DATA/SACK packets to create new connection tracking entry.

A new state has been added to indicate that a DATA/SACK chunk has
been seen in the original direction - SCTP_CONNTRACK_DATA_SENT.
State transitions mostly follows the HEARTBEAT_SENT, except on
receiving HEARTBEAT/HEARTBEAT_ACK/DATA/SACK in the reply direction.

State transitions in original direction:
- DATA_SENT behaves similar to HEARTBEAT_SENT for all chunks,
except that it remains in DATA_SENT on receving HEARTBEAT,
HEARTBEAT_ACK/DATA/SACK chunks
State transitions in reply direction:
- DATA_SENT behaves similar to HEARTBEAT_SENT for all chunks,
except that it moves to HEARTBEAT_ACKED on receiving
HEARTBEAT/HEARTBEAT_ACK/DATA/SACK chunks

Note: This patch still doesn't solve the problem when the SCTP
endpoint decides to use primary paths for association establishment
but uses a secondary path for association shutdown. We still have
to depend on timeout for connections to expire in such a case.

netfilter: conntrack: sctp: use distinct states for new SCTP connections

The netlink notifications triggered by the INIT and INIT_ACK chunks
for a tracked SCTP association do not include protocol information
for the corresponding connection - SCTP state and verification tags
for the original and reply direction are missing. Since the connection
tracking implementation allows user space programs to receive
notifications about a connection and then create a new connection
based on the values received in a notification, it makes sense that
INIT and INIT_ACK notifications should contain the SCTP state
and verification tags available at the time when a notification
is sent. The missing verification tags cause a newly created
netfilter connection to fail to verify the tags of SCTP packets
when this connection has been created from the values previously
received in an INIT or INIT_ACK notification.

A PROTOINFO event is cached in sctp_packet() when the state
of a connection changes. The CLOSED and COOKIE_WAIT state will
be used for connections that have seen an INIT and INIT_ACK chunk,
respectively. The distinct states will cause a connection state
change in sctp_packet().

netlink: make validation more configurable for future strictness

We currently have two levels of strict validation:

1) liberal (default)
- undefined (type >= max) & NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
- attribute length >= expected accepted
- garbage at end of message accepted
2) strict (opt-in)
- NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
- attribute length >= expected accepted

Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
* TRAILING - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
attributes (in message or nested)
* MAXTYPE - reject attrs > max known type
* UNSPEC - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
* STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size

The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().

Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.

We end up with the following renames:
* nla_parse -> nla_parse_deprecated
* nla_parse_strict -> nla_parse_deprecated_strict
* nlmsg_parse -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated
* nlmsg_parse_strict -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict

For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions
yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong.

Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a
common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication.

Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every
new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the
next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is.

In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command.

netlink: make nla_nest_start() add NLA_F_NESTED flag

Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most
netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not
setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers
not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's
mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display
the structure of their contents.

Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be
userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than
through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames
nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start()
as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually
are rewritten to use nla_nest_start().

Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using
this semantic patch:

netfilter: conntrack: unify sysctl handling

Due to historical reasons, all l4 trackers register their own

This leads to copy&pasted boilerplate code, that does exactly same
thing, just with different data structure.

Place all of this in a single file.

This allows to remove the various ctl_table pointers from the ct_netns
structure and reduces overall code size.

The l4 protocol trackers are invoked via indirect call: l4proto->packet().

With one exception (gre), all l4trackers are builtin, so we can make
