commit e179e6322ac334e21a3c6d669d95bc967e5d0a80
(netfilter: bridge-netfilter: Fix MAC header handling with IP DNAT)
breaks DNAT when the destination address sits on the same bridgeport
the packet originally arrived on.  Example:

( Network1 ) -- [ eth1-Bridge-eth0 ] -- ( Network2 )

Lets assume bridge has ip 192.168.10.8, and following netfilter rules
are active:

-A PREROUTING  -s 192.168.10.1 -d 192.168.10.8 -p tcp --dport 21 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.10.1
-A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.10.1 -d 192.168.10.1 -p tcp --dport 21 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.8

With kernels before 2.6.35, this makes host 192.168.10.1 connecting to
the bridge on port 21 connect-to-self.

From 2.6.35 onwards this no longer works since the natted packet travels
through the bridge forward logic, where should_deliver() refuses to send
the packet because the destination bridge port is the same as the
originating port.

Enabling hairpin mode on eth1 makes it work, but still causes
problems because the original client finds its own mac address as the
packets source (it used to be the bridge MAC).

This patch tries to fix this in the following manner:
- tag all skbs with dnat-applied with BRDIGED_DNAT flag
- modify bridge fwd logic to detect "same-bridgeport-and-dnat'd"
  condition, permit this, and flag skb accordingly
- in bridge postrouting, replace source mac with bridge mac addess
  if skb is such a dnat-to-same-port.

 Bart,

 it would be great if you could look into this, as I am not very familiar
 with net/bridge/.

 Especially,
 1) is it safe to set BRNF_BRIDGED_DNAT unconditionally in br_nf_pre_routing_finish_bridge() ?
 2) is it ok to memcpy to eth_hdr() in br_nf_post_routing() [ considering there might be encap headers
    that were removed? ]

I don't get why you didn't need the hairpin mode back then.

In my opinion this is just a special kind of MAC SNAT and you can 
already achieve this with hairpin mode, ebtables and iptables now:
1. make sure to mark the packets with iptables before you perform the DNAT
2. in ebtables POSTROUTING, SNAT those marked packets with the MAC 
address of the bridge.
3. enable hairpin mode
Even if it turns out not yet to be fully possible with the current 
kernel, I think such a feature should be implemented as an ebtables 
target instead of increasing the complexity of the generic code.

Your patch also introduces potential unexpected behavior in different 
scenarios. Consider the following rule:
-A PREROUTING -s 192.168.10.1 -d 192.168.10.8 -p tcp --dport 21 -j DNAT 
--to-destination 192.168.10.2
Note that the DNAT is to a different IP address. Suppose 192.168.10.2 is 
on a different machine located on the same side of the bridge. Your 
patch would change the MAC source address here too without any need.


Below are some comments on the patch itself.

cheers,
Bart

Obviously, a more descriptive name would be nice :)

You should unset the BRNF_BRIDGED_DNAT mask here (no longer needed and 
might confuse other code yet to be executed):
skb->nf_bridge->mask ^= BRNF_BRIDGED_DNAT;

I don't like this change. It's basically a hack to prevent having to 
enable the hairpin mode. In my opinion you should just return 
should_deliver() instead.

Putting the new code in should_deliver() would have prevented you from 
having to come up with a new and not very descriptive function name.

I think you'll be ok here, as long as you unset the mask later (as 
mentioned above).

I think you're safe here from encapsulating headers since eth_hdr gives 
you a pointer to the Ethernet header.

because afaics before packets were just sent from the bridge, i.e. no
forward path and no should_deliver() check.

Well, I am all for doing this with existing tools, problem is
userspace didn't change but newer kernels don't work as they used to.

If consensus is 'too bad, fix configuration' I can accept that.
The fact that noone seems to have reported this until now
pretty much proves that virtually noone has such configurations.

Not sure if this is even possible, as 10.1 would discard the syn/ack
from 10.2 (expects reply from 10.8 address).

But I think understand what you're saying.

I failed to come up with something that isn't more explicit ;)
But I'll try.

Yes. It wasn't necessary before.  If the consensus is that it should be
used in this case, I am ok with that.

I wanted to make sure that this extra DNAT crud is not e.g. called in
the multi/broadcast flood case, but only for plain br_forward().

Noted, thanks for reviewing.
