netfilter: conntrack: include zone id in tuple hash again
commit
deedb59039f111 ("netfilter: nf_conntrack: add direction support for zones")
removed the zone id from the hash value.
This has implications on hash chain lengths with overlapping tuples, which
can hit 64k entries on released kernels, before upper droplimit was added
in
d7e7747ac5c ("netfilter: refuse insertion if chain has grown too large").
With that change reverted, test script coming with this series shows
linear insertion time growth:
10000 entries in 3737 ms (now 10000 total, loop 1)
10000 entries in 16994 ms (now 20000 total, loop 2)
10000 entries in 47787 ms (now 30000 total, loop 3)
10000 entries in 72731 ms (now 40000 total, loop 4)
10000 entries in 95761 ms (now 50000 total, loop 5)
10000 entries in 96809 ms (now 60000 total, loop 6)
inserted 60000 entries from packet path in 333825 ms
With
d7e7747ac5c in place, the test fails.
There are three supported zone use cases:
1. Connection is in the default zone (zone 0).
This means to special config (the default).
2. Connection is in a different zone (1 to 2**16).
This means rules are in place to put packets in
the desired zone, e.g. derived from vlan id or interface.
3. Original direction is in zone X and Reply is in zone 0.
3) allows to use of the existing NAT port collision avoidance to provide
connectivity to internet/wan even when the various zones have overlapping
source networks separated via policy routing.
In case the original zone is 0 all three cases are identical.
There is no way to place original direction in zone x and reply in
zone y (with y != 0).
Zones need to be assigned manually via the iptables/nftables ruleset,
before conntrack lookup occurs (raw table in iptables) using the
"CT" target conntrack template support
(-j CT --{zone,zone-orig,zone-reply} X).
Normally zone assignment happens based on incoming interface, but could
also be derived from packet mark, vlan id and so on.
This means that when case 3 is used, the ruleset will typically not even
assign a connection tracking template to the "reply" packets, so lookup
happens in zone 0.
However, it is possible that reply packets also match a ct zone
assignment rule which sets up a template for zone X (X > 0) in original
direction only.
Therefore, after making the zone id part of the hash, we need to do a
second lookup using the reply zone id if we did not find an entry on
the first lookup.
In practice, most deployments will either not use zones at all or the
origin and reply zones are the same, no second lookup is required in
either case.
After this change, packet path insertion test passes with constant
insertion times:
10000 entries in 1064 ms (now 10000 total, loop 1)
10000 entries in 1074 ms (now 20000 total, loop 2)
10000 entries in 1066 ms (now 30000 total, loop 3)
10000 entries in 1079 ms (now 40000 total, loop 4)
10000 entries in 1081 ms (now 50000 total, loop 5)
10000 entries in 1082 ms (now 60000 total, loop 6)
inserted 60000 entries from packet path in 6452 ms
