Issue: 5718
This commit switches the majority of time handling to a new type --
SCTime_t -- which is a 64 bit container for time:
- 44 bits -- seconds
- 20 bits -- useconds
Update DROP action handling in tunnel packets. DROP/REJECT action is set
to outer (root) and inner packet.
Check action flags both against outer (root) and inner packet.
Remove PACKET_SET_ACTION macro. Replace with RESET for the one reset usecase.
The reason to remove is to make the logic easier to understand.
Reduce scope of RESET macros.
Rename PacketTestAction to PacketCheckAction except in unittests. Keep
PacketTestAction as a wrapper around PacketCheckAction. This makes it
easier to trace the action handling in the real code.
Fix rate_filter setting actions directly.
General code cleanups.
Bug: #5571.
Work towards making `suricata-common.h` only introduce system headers
and other things that are independent of complex internal Suricata
data structures.
Update files to compile after this.
Remove special DPDK handling for strlcpy and strlcat, as this caused
many compilation failures w/o including DPDK headers for all files.
Remove packet macros from decode.h and move them into their own file,
turn them into functions and rename them to match our function naming
policy.
This allows to set a midstream-policy that can:
- fail closed (stream.midstream-policy=drop-flow)
- fail open (stream.midstream-policy=pass-flow)
- bypass stream (stream.midstream-policy=bypass)
- do nothing (default behavior)
Usage and behavior:
If stream.midstream-policy is set then if Suricata identifies a midstream flow
it will apply the corresponding action associated with the policy.
No setting means Suricata will not apply such policies, either inspecting the
flow (if stream.midstream=true) or ignoring it stream.midstream=false.
Task #5468
In some situations bypass callback is called on already bypassed
flow. This allocates FlowBypassInfo structure for the flow but
does not check if the flow already has one.
Issue: #5368
The maximum of possible alerts triggered by a unique packet was
hardcoded to 15. With usage of 'noalert' rules, that limit could be
reached somewhat easily. Make that configurable via suricata.yaml.
Conf Bug#4941
Task #4207
Reset PacketRelease callback to make sure its not set to a capture
specific callback.

Here the packet was a pseudo packet to handle a timeout condition. But
the ReleasePacket callback was still set to AFPReleasePacket from a
previous use of the Packet.
Bug: #4807.
Goals:
- reduce locking
- take advantage of 'hot' caches
- better locality
Locking reduction
New flow spare pool. The global pool is implmented as a list of blocks,
where each block has a 100 spare flows. Worker threads fetch a block at
a time, storing the block in the local thread storage.
Flow Recycler now returns flows to the pool is blocks as well.
Flow Recycler fetches all flows to be processed in one step instead of
one at a time.
Cache 'hot'ness
Worker threads now check the timeout of flows they evaluate during lookup.
The worker will have to read the flow into cache anyway, so the added
overhead of checking the timeout value is minimal. When a flow is considered
timed out, one of 2 things happens:
- if the flow is 'owned' by the thread it is handled locally. Handling means
checking if the flow needs 'timeout' work.
- otherwise, the flow is added to a special 'evicted' list in the flow
bucket where it will be picked up by the flow manager.
Flow Manager timing
By default the flow manager now tries to do passes of the flow hash in
smaller steps, where the goal is to do full pass in 8 x the lowest timeout
value it has to enforce. So if the lowest timeout value is 30s, a full pass
will take 4 minutes. The goal here is to reduce locking overhead and not
get in the way of the workers.
In emergency mode each pass is full, and lower timeouts are used.
Timing of the flow manager is also no longer relying on pthread condition
variables, as these generally cause waking up much quicker than the desired
timout. Instead a simple (u)sleep loop is used.
Both changes reduce the number of hash passes a lot.
Emergency behavior
In emergency mode there a number of changes to the workers. In this scenario
the flow memcap is fully used up and it is unavoidable that some flows won't
be tracked.
1. flow spare pool fetches are reduced to once a second. This avoids locking
overhead, while the chance of success was very low.
2. getting an active flow directly from the hash skips flows that had very
recent activity to avoid the scenario where all flows get only into the
NEW state before getting reused. Rather allow some to have a chance of
completing.
3. TCP packets that are not SYN packets will not get a used flow, unless
stream.midstream is enabled. The goal here is again to avoid evicting
active flows unnecessarily.
Better Localily
Flow Manager injects flows into the worker threads now, instead of one or
two packets. Advantage of this is that the worker threads can get packets
from their local packet pools, avoiding constant overhead of packets returning
to 'foreign' pools.
Counters
A lot of flow counters have been added and some have been renamed.
Overall the worker threads increment 'flow.wrk.*' counters, while the flow
manager increments 'flow.mgr.*'.
Additionally, none of the counters are snapshots anymore, they all increment
over time. The flow.memuse and flow.spare counters are exceptions.
Misc
FlowQueue has been split into a FlowQueuePrivate (unlocked) and FlowQueue.
Flow no longer has 'prev' pointers and used a unified 'next' pointer for
both hash and queue use.
This commit adds MAC address output to the EVE-JSON format. We follow the
remarks made in Redmine ticket #962: for packets, log MAC src/dst as a
scalar field in EVE; for flows, log MAC src/dst as lists in EVE. Field names
are different between flow and packet context to avoid type confusion
(src_mac vs. src_macs). Configuration approach and JSON representation is
taken from previous GitHub PR #2700.
This commit checks whether pre-6.x settings for ERSPAN Type I are
present. ERSPAN Type I is no longer enabled/disabled through a
configuration setting -- it's always enabled.
When a setting exists to enable/disable ERSPAN Type I decoding, a
warning message is logged.
Enabling/disabling ERSPAN Type I decode has been deprecated in 6.x
Previously each 'TmSlot' had it's own packet queue that was passed
to the registered SlotFunc as an argument. This was used mostly for
tunnel packets by the decoders and by defrag.
This patch removes that in favor of a single queue in the ThreadVars:
decode_pq. This is the non-locked version of the queue as this is
only a temporary store for handling packets within a thread.
This patch removes the PacketQueue pointer argument from the API.
The new queue can be accessed directly through the ThreadVars
pointer.
Set the livedev on reassembled packets to that of the parent
packet. Fixes issues with multidetect, specifically a segfault
as reported in issue 3380.
Bug #3380.
Replace index by strchr and rindex by strrchr.
index(3) states "POSIX.1-2008 removes the specifications of index() and
rindex(), recommending strchr(3) and strrchr(3) instead."
Add index/rindex to banned function check so they don't get reintroduced.
Bug #1443.
This define is used to remove reference to capture bypass in case
no capture method implementing this is active.
This patch also introduces CAPTURE_OFFLOAD_MANAGER that is defined
if we need the flow bypass manager code.
Fill in the vlan_id fields unconditionally. We can now remove the check
for the vlan.use-for-tracking setting in decode.c. The debug log message
is moved to suricata.c.
Implement port config handling. Also check both src port and dest
port for tunnels that only set the destination port to the VXLAN
port. At the point of the check we don't know the packet direction
yet.
Implement as Suricata tunnel similar to Teredo.
Cleanups.
