Subject: [PATCH 5.14 335/849] netfilter: conntrack: set on IPS_ASSURED if flows enters internal stream state

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@...filter.org>

[ Upstream commit b7b1d02fc43925a4d569ec221715db2dfa1ce4f5 ]

The internal stream state sets the timeout to 120 seconds 2 seconds
after the creation of the flow, attach this internal stream state to the
IPS_ASSURED flag for consistent event reporting.

Before this patch:

      [NEW] udp      17 30 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 [UNREPLIED] src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282
   [UPDATE] udp      17 30 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282
   [UPDATE] udp      17 30 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282 [ASSURED]
  [DESTROY] udp      17 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282 [ASSURED]

Note IPS_ASSURED for the flow not yet in the internal stream state.

after this update:

      [NEW] udp      17 30 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 [UNREPLIED] src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282
   [UPDATE] udp      17 30 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282
   [UPDATE] udp      17 120 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282 [ASSURED]
  [DESTROY] udp      17 src=10.246.11.13 dst=216.239.35.0 sport=37282 dport=123 src=216.239.35.0 dst=10.246.11.13 sport=123 dport=37282 [ASSURED]

Before this patch, short-lived UDP flows never entered IPS_ASSURED, so
they were already candidate flow to be deleted by early_drop under
stress.

Before this patch, IPS_ASSURED is set on regardless the internal stream
state, attach this internal stream state to IPS_ASSURED.

packet #1 (original direction) enters NEW state
packet #2 (reply direction) enters ESTABLISHED state, sets on IPS_SEEN_REPLY
paclet #3 (any direction) sets on IPS_ASSURED (if 2 seconds since the
          creation has passed by).
