Florian Westphal 79b713ef42 netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: do shared-unconfirmed check before segmentation
[ Upstream commit 207b3ebacb ]

Ulrich reports a regression with nfqueue:

If an application did not set the 'F_GSO' capability flag and a gso
packet with an unconfirmed nf_conn entry is received all packets are
now dropped instead of queued, because the check happens after
skb_gso_segment().  In that case, we did have exclusive ownership
of the skb and its associated conntrack entry.  The elevated use
count is due to skb_clone happening via skb_gso_segment().

Move the check so that its peformed vs. the aggregated packet.

Then, annotate the individual segments except the first one so we
can do a 2nd check at reinject time.

For the normal case, where userspace does in-order reinjects, this avoids
packet drops: first reinjected segment continues traversal and confirms
entry, remaining segments observe the confirmed entry.

While at it, simplify nf_ct_drop_unconfirmed(): We only care about
unconfirmed entries with a refcnt > 1, there is no need to special-case
dying entries.

This only happens with UDP.  With TCP, the only unconfirmed packet will
be the TCP SYN, those aren't aggregated by GRO.

Next patch adds a udpgro test case to cover this scenario.
