[ Upstream commit 4e35c1cb94 ]
It is possible that two concurrent packets originating from the same
socket of a connection-less protocol (e.g. UDP) can end up having
different IP_CT_DIR_REPLY tuples which results in one of the packets
being dropped.
To illustrate this, consider the following simplified scenario:
1. Packet A and B are sent at the same time from two different threads
by same UDP socket. No matching conntrack entry exists yet.
Both packets cause allocation of a new conntrack entry.
2. get_unique_tuple gets called for A. No clashing entry found.
conntrack entry for A is added to main conntrack table.
3. get_unique_tuple is called for B and will find that the reply
tuple of B is already taken by A.
It will allocate a new UDP source port for B to resolve the clash.
4. conntrack entry for B cannot be added to main conntrack table
because its ORIGINAL direction is clashing with A and the REPLY
directions of A and B are not the same anymore due to UDP source
port reallocation done in step 3.
This patch modifies nf_conntrack_tuple_taken so it doesn't consider
colliding reply tuples if the IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL tuples are equal.
[ Florian: simplify patch to not use .allow_clash setting
and always ignore identical flows ]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
