ipvs: netfilter connection tracking changes
Add more code to IPVS to work with Netfilter connection tracking and fix some problems. - Allow IPVS to be compiled without connection tracking as in 2.6.35 and before. This can avoid keeping conntracks for all IPVS connections because this costs memory. ip_vs_ftp still depends on connection tracking and NAT as implemented for 2.6.36. - Add sysctl var "conntrack" to enable connection tracking for all IPVS connections. For loaded IPVS directors it needs tuning of nf_conntrack_max limit. - Add IP_VS_CONN_F_NFCT connection flag to request the connection to use connection tracking. This allows user space to provide this flag, for example, in dest->conn_flags. This can be useful to request connection tracking per real server instead of forcing it for all connections with the "conntrack" sysctl. This flag is set currently only by ip_vs_ftp and of course by "conntrack" sysctl. - Add ip_vs_nfct.c file to hold all connection tracking code, by this way main code should not depend of netfilter conntrack support. - Return back the ip_vs_post_routing handler as in 2.6.35 and use skb->ipvs_property=1 to allow IPVS to work without connection tracking Connection tracking: - most of the code is already in 2.6.36-rc - alter conntrack reply tuple for LVS-NAT connections when first packet from client is forwarded and conntrack state is NEW or RELATED. Additionally, alter reply for RELATED connections from real server, again for packet in original direction. - add IP_VS_XMIT_TUNNEL to confirm conntrack (without altering reply) for LVS-TUN early because we want to call nf_reset. It is needed because we add IPIP header and the original conntrack should be preserved, not destroyed. The transmitted IPIP packets can reuse same conntrack, so we do not set skb->ipvs_property. - try to destroy conntrack when the IPVS connection is destroyed. It is not fatal if conntrack disappears before that, it depends on the used timers. Fix problems from long time: - add skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE for the LVS-TUN transmitters Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
