Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== netfilter/ipvs fixes for net The following patchset contains fixes for netfilter/ipvs. This round of fixes is larger than usual at this stage, specifically because of the nf_tables bridge reject fixes that I would like to see in 3.18. The patches are: 1) Fix a null-pointer dereference that may occur when logging errors. This problem was introduced by 4a4739d5 ("ipvs: Pull out crosses_local_route_boundary logic") in v3.17-rc5. 2) Update hook mask in nft_reject_bridge so we can also filter out packets from there. This fixes 36d2af59 ("netfilter: nf_tables: allow to filter from prerouting and postrouting"), which needs this chunk to work. 3) Two patches to refactor common code to forge the IPv4 and IPv6 reject packets from the bridge. These are required by the nf_tables reject bridge fix. 4) Fix nft_reject_bridge by avoiding the use of the IP stack to reject packets from the bridge. The idea is to forge the reject packets and inject them to the original port via br_deliver() which is now exported for that purpose. 5) Restrict nft_reject_bridge to bridge prerouting and input hooks. the original skbuff may cloned after prerouting when the bridge stack needs to flood it to several bridge ports, it is too late to reject the traffic. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
