Revert "netfilter: nat: force port remap to prevent shadowing well-known ports"
This reverts commit
083d758350017d472e85fa70c5c06c67e52ea5a1.
This change breaks existing setups where conntrack is used with
asymmetric paths.
In these cases, the NAT transformation occurs on the syn-ack instead of
the syn:
1. SYN x:12345 -> y -> 443 // sent by initiator, receiverd by responder
2. SYNACK y:443 -> x:12345 // First packet seen by conntrack, as sent by responder
3. tuple_force_port_remap() gets called, sees:
'tcp from 443 to port 12345 NAT' -> pick a new source port, inititor receives
4. SYNACK y:$RANDOM -> x:12345 // connection is never established
While its possible to avoid the breakage with NOTRACK rules, a kernel
update should not break working setups.
An alternative to the revert is to augment conntrack to tag
mid-stream connections plus more code in the nat core to skip NAT
for such connections, however, this leads to more interaction/integration
between conntrack and NAT.
Therefore, revert, users will need to add explicit nat rules to avoid
port shadowing.
