    netfilter: check for seqadj ext existence before adding it in nf_nat_setup_info · dc3f9ba4

    commit ab6dd1be upstream.
    
    Commit 4440a2ab ("netfilter: synproxy: Check oom when adding synproxy
    and seqadj ct extensions") wanted to drop the packet when it fails to add
    seqadj ext due to no memory by checking if nfct_seqadj_ext_add returns
    NULL.
    
    But that nfct_seqadj_ext_add returns NULL can also happen when seqadj ext
    already exists in a nf_conn. It will cause that userspace protocol doesn't
    work when both dnat and snat are configured.
    
    Li Shuang found this issue in the case:
    
    Topo:
       ftp client                   router                  ftp server
      10.167.131.2  <-> 10.167.131.254  10.167.141.254 <-> 10.167.141.1
    
    Rules:
      # iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 21 -j \
        DNAT --to-destination 10.167.141.1
      # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 21 -j \
        SNAT --to-source 10.167.141.254
    
    In router, when both dnat and snat are added, nf_nat_setup_info will be
    called twice. The packet can be dropped at the 2nd time for DNAT due to
    seqadj ext is already added at the 1st time for SNAT.
    
    This patch is to fix it by checking for seqadj ext existence before adding
    it, so that the packet will not be dropped if seqadj ext already exists.
    
    Note that as Florian mentioned, as a long term, we should review ext_add()
    behaviour, it's better to return a pointer to the existing ext instead.
