This patch fixes the out of sync scenarios while in SYN_RECV state.
Quoting Jozsef, what it happens if we are out of sync if the
following:
> > b. conntrack entry is outdated, new SYN received
> > - (b1) we ignore it but save the initialization data from it
> > - (b2) when the reply SYN/ACK receives and it matches the saved data,
> > we pick up the new connection
This is what it should happen if we are in SYN_RECV state. Initially,
the SYN packet hits b1, thus we save data from it. But the SYN/ACK
packet is considered a retransmission given that we're in SYN_RECV
state. Therefore, we never hit b2 and we don't get in sync. To fix
this, we ignore SYN/ACK if we are in SYN_RECV. If the previous packet
was a SYN, then we enter the ignore case that get us in sync.
This patch helps a lot to conntrackd in stress scenarios (assumming a
client that generates lots of small TCP connections). During the failover,
consider that the new primary has injected one outdated flow in SYN_RECV
state (this is likely to happen if the conntrack event rate is high
because the backup will be a bit delayed from the primary). With the
current code, if the client starts a new fresh connection that matches
the tuple, the SYN packet will be ignored without updating the state
tracking, and the SYN+ACK in reply will blocked as it will not pass
checkings III or IV (since all state tracking in the original direction
is not initialized because of the SYN packet was ignored and the ignore
case that get us in sync is not applied).
I posted a couple of patches before this one. Changli Gao spotted
a simpler way to fix this problem. This patch implements his idea.

This patch adds the missing bits to support the recovery of TCP flows
without disabling window tracking (aka be_liberal). To ensure a
successful recovery, we have to inject the window scale factor via
ctnetlink.
This patch has been tested with a development snapshot of conntrackd
and the new clause `TCPWindowTracking' that allows to perform strict
TCP window tracking recovery across fail-overs.
With this patch, we don't update the receiver's window until it's not
initiated. We require this to perform a successful recovery. Jozsef

should not happen.

Without this patch, if we receive a SYN packet from the client while
the firewall is out-of-sync, we let it go through. Then, if we see
the SYN/ACK reply coming from the server, we destroy the conntrack
entry and drop the packet to trigger a new retransmission. Then,
the retransmision from the client is used to start a new clean
session.
This patch improves the current handling. Basically, if we see an
unexpected SYN packet, we annotate the TCP options. Then, if we
see the reply SYN/ACK, this means that the firewall was indeed
out-of-sync. Therefore, we set a clean new session from the existing
entry based on the annotated values.
This patch adds two new 8-bits fields that fit in a 16-bits gap of
the ip_ct_tcp structure.
This patch is particularly useful for conntrackd since the
asynchronous nature of the state-synchronization allows to have
backup nodes that are not perfect copies of the master. This helps
to improve the recovery under some worst-case scenarios.
I have tested this by creating lots of conntrack entries in wrong
state:
for ((i=1024;i<65535;i++)); do conntrack -I -p tcp -s 192.168.2.101 -d 192.168.2.2 --sport $i --dport 80 -t 800 --state ESTABLISHED -u ASSURED,SEEN_REPLY; done
Then, I make some TCP connections:
$ echo GET / | nc 192.168.2.2 80
The events show the result:

Vitezslav Samel discovered that since 2.6.30.4+ active FTP can not work
over NAT. The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data
detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e36).
However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack:
when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of
the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with
changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter
(td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift
away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP.
The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters
from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a
consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because
it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)

When NAT helpers change the TCP packet size, the highest seen sequence
number needs to be corrected. This is currently only done upwards, when
the packet size is reduced the sequence number is unchanged. This causes
TCP conntrack to falsely detect unacknowledged data and decrease the
timeout.
Fix by updating the highest seen sequence number in both directions after
packet mangling.

* IPCT_HELPER, that a helper has been assigned or unassigned to this

The RST packet was dropped in the raw table, thus it did not reach
conntrack. nfnetlink_conntrack is unpatched so it shows the new SYN_SENT2
state as the old unused LISTEN.
With TCP simultaneous open support we satisfy REQ-2 in RFC 5382 ;-) .
Additional minor correction in this patch is that in order to catch
uninitialized reply directions, "td_maxwin == 0" is used instead of
"td_end == 0" because the former can't be true except in uninitialized
state while td_end may accidentally be equal to zero in the mid of a
connection.

Robert L Mathews discovered that some clients send evil TCP RST segments,
which are accepted by netfilter conntrack but discarded by the
destination. Thus the conntrack entry is destroyed but the destination
retransmits data until timeout.
The same technique, i.e. sending properly crafted RST segments, can easily
be used to bypass connlimit/connbytes based restrictions (the sample
script written by Robert can be found in the netfilter mailing list
archives).
The patch below adds a new flag and new field to struct ip_ct_tcp_state so
that checking RST segments can be made more strict and thus TCP conntrack
can catch the invalid ones: the RST segment is accepted only if its
sequence number higher than or equal to the highest ack we seen from the
other direction. (The last_ack field cannot be reused because it is used
to catch resent packets.)

This patch fixes an unaligned memory access in tcp_sack while reading
sequence numbers from TCP selective acknowledgement options. Prior to
applying this patch, upstream linux-2.6.27.20 was occasionally
generating messages like this on my sparc64 system:
[54678.532071] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[6b17d4] tcp_packet+0xcd4/0xd00

We currently use the negative value in the conntrack code to encode
the packet verdict in the error. As NF_DROP is equal to 0, inverting
NF_DROP makes no sense and, as a result, no packets are ever dropped.
