      netfilter: nf_tables: add compatibility layer for x_tables · 0ca743a5
      Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于
      This patch adds the x_tables compatibility layer. This allows you
      to use existing x_tables matches and targets from nf_tables.
      
      This compatibility later allows us to use existing matches/targets
      for features that are still missing in nf_tables. We can progressively
      replace them with native nf_tables extensions. It also provides the
      userspace compatibility software that allows you to express the
      rule-set using the iptables syntax but using the nf_tables kernel
      components.
      
      In order to get this compatibility layer working, I've done the
      following things:
      
      * add NFNL_SUBSYS_NFT_COMPAT: this new nfnetlink subsystem is used
      to query the x_tables match/target revision, so we don't need to
      use the native x_table getsockopt interface.
      
      * emulate xt structures: this required extending the struct nft_pktinfo
      to include the fragment offset, which is already obtained from
      ip[6]_tables and that is used by some matches/targets.
      
      * add support for default policy to base chains, required to emulate
        x_tables.
      
      * add NFTA_CHAIN_USE attribute to obtain the number of references to
        chains, required by x_tables emulation.
      
      * add chain packet/byte counters using per-cpu.
      
      * support 32-64 bits compat.
      
      For historical reasons, this patch includes the following patches
      that were posted in the netfilter-devel mailing list.
      
      From Pablo Neira Ayuso:
      * nf_tables: add default policy to base chains
      * netfilter: nf_tables: add NFTA_CHAIN_USE attribute

      netfilter: nf_tables: add netlink set API · 20a69341
      Patrick McHardy 提交于
      This patch adds the new netlink API for maintaining nf_tables sets
      independently of the ruleset. The API supports the following operations:
      
      - creation of sets
      - deletion of sets
      - querying of specific sets
      - dumping of all sets
      
      - addition of set elements
      - removal of set elements
      - dumping of all set elements
      
      Sets are identified by name, each table defines an individual namespace.
      The name of a set may be allocated automatically, this is mostly useful
      in combination with the NFT_SET_ANONYMOUS flag, which destroys a set
      automatically once the last reference has been released.
      
      Sets can be marked constant, meaning they're not allowed to change while
      linked to a rule. This allows to perform lockless operation for set
      types that would otherwise require locking.
      
      Additionally, if the implementation supports it, sets can (as before) be
      used as maps, associating a data value with each key (or range), by
      specifying the NFT_SET_MAP flag and can be used for interval queries by
      specifying the NFT_SET_INTERVAL flag.
      
      Set elements are added and removed incrementally. All element operations
      support batching, reducing netlink message and set lookup overhead.
      
      The old "set" and "hash" expressions are replaced by a generic "lookup"
      expression, which binds to the specified set. Userspace is not aware
      of the actual set implementation used by the kernel anymore, all
      configuration options are generic.
      
      Currently the implementation selection logic is largely missing and the
      kernel will simply use the first registered implementation supporting the
      requested operation. Eventually, the plan is to have userspace supply a
      description of the data characteristics and select the implementation
      based on expected performance and memory use.
      
      This patch includes the new 'lookup' expression to look up for element
      matching in the set.
      
      This patch includes kernel-doc descriptions for this set API and it
      also includes the following fixes.
      
      From Patrick McHardy:
      * netfilter: nf_tables: fix set element data type in dumps
      * netfilter: nf_tables: fix indentation of struct nft_set_elem comments
      * netfilter: nf_tables: fix oops in nft_validate_data_load()

      netfilter: add nftables · 96518518
      Patrick McHardy 提交于
      This patch adds nftables which is the intended successor of iptables.
      This packet filtering framework reuses the existing netfilter hooks,
      the connection tracking system, the NAT subsystem, the transparent
      proxying engine, the logging infrastructure and the userspace packet
      queueing facilities.
      
      In a nutshell, nftables provides a pseudo-state machine with 4 general
      purpose registers of 128 bits and 1 specific purpose register to store
      verdicts. This pseudo-machine comes with an extensible instruction set,
      a.k.a. "expressions" in the nftables jargon. The expressions included
      in this patch provide the basic functionality, they are:
      
      * bitwise: to perform bitwise operations.
      * byteorder: to change from host/network endianess.
      * cmp: to compare data with the content of the registers.
      * counter: to enable counters on rules.
      * ct: to store conntrack keys into register.
      * exthdr: to match IPv6 extension headers.
      * immediate: to load data into registers.
      * limit: to limit matching based on packet rate.
      * log: to log packets.
      * meta: to match metainformation that usually comes with the skbuff.
      * nat: to perform Network Address Translation.
      * payload: to fetch data from the packet payload and store it into
        registers.
      * reject (IPv4 only): to explicitly close connection, eg. TCP RST.
      
      Using this instruction-set, the userspace utility 'nft' can transform
      the rules expressed in human-readable text representation (using a
      new syntax, inspired by tcpdump) to nftables bytecode.
      
      nftables also inherits the table, chain and rule objects from
      iptables, but in a more configurable way, and it also includes the
      original datatype-agnostic set infrastructure with mapping support.
      This set infrastructure is enhanced in the follow up patch (netfilter:
      nf_tables: add netlink set API).
      
      This patch includes the following components:
      
      * the netlink API: net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c and
        include/uapi/netfilter/nf_tables.h
      * the packet filter core: net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c
      * the expressions (described above): net/netfilter/nft_*.c
      * the filter tables: arp, IPv4, IPv6 and bridge:
        net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv4.c
        net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv6.c
        net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_tables_arp.c
        net/bridge/netfilter/nf_tables_bridge.c
      * the NAT table (IPv4 only):
        net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_table_nat_ipv4.c
      * the route table (similar to mangle):
        net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_table_route_ipv4.c
        net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_table_route_ipv6.c
      * internal definitions under:
        include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h
        include/net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.h
      * It also includes an skeleton expression:
        net/netfilter/nft_expr_template.c
        and the preliminary implementation of the meta target
        net/netfilter/nft_meta_target.c
      
      It also includes a change in struct nf_hook_ops to add a new
      pointer to store private data to the hook, that is used to store
      the rule list per chain.
      
      This patch is based on the patch from Patrick McHardy, plus merged
      accumulated cleanups, fixes and small enhancements to the nftables

      netfilter: tproxy: remove nf_tproxy_core, keep tw sk assigned to skb · fd158d79
      Florian Westphal 提交于
      The module was "permanent", due to the special tproxy skb->destructor.
      Nowadays we have tcp early demux and its sock_edemux destructor in
      networking core which can be used instead.
      
      Thanks to early demux changes the input path now also handles
      "skb->sk is tw socket" correctly, so this no longer needs the special
      handling introduced with commit d503b30b
      (netfilter: tproxy: do not assign timewait sockets to skb->sk).
      
      Thus:
      - move assign_sock function to where its needed
      - don't prevent timewait sockets from being assigned to the skb
      - remove nf_tproxy_core.

      netfilter: add connlabel conntrack extension · c539f017
      Florian Westphal 提交于
      similar to connmarks, except labels are bit-based; i.e.
      all labels may be attached to a flow at the same time.
      
      Up to 128 labels are supported.  Supporting more labels
      is possible, but requires increasing the ct offset delta
      from u8 to u16 type due to increased extension sizes.
      
      Mapping of bit-identifier to label name is done in userspace.
      
      The extension is enabled at run-time once "-m connlabel" netfilter
      rules are added.

      netfilter: add user-space connection tracking helper infrastructure · 12f7a505
      Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于
      There are good reasons to supports helpers in user-space instead:
      
      * Rapid connection tracking helper development, as developing code
        in user-space is usually faster.
      
      * Reliability: A buggy helper does not crash the kernel. Moreover,
        we can monitor the helper process and restart it in case of problems.
      
      * Security: Avoid complex string matching and mangling in kernel-space
        running in privileged mode. Going further, we can even think about
        running user-space helpers as a non-root process.
      
      * Extensibility: It allows the development of very specific helpers (most
        likely non-standard proprietary protocols) that are very likely not to be
        accepted for mainline inclusion in the form of kernel-space connection
        tracking helpers.
      
      This patch adds the infrastructure to allow the implementation of
      user-space conntrack helpers by means of the new nfnetlink subsystem
      `nfnetlink_cthelper' and the existing queueing infrastructure
      (nfnetlink_queue).
      
      I had to add the new hook NF_IP6_PRI_CONNTRACK_HELPER to register
      ipv[4|6]_helper which results from splitting ipv[4|6]_confirm into
      two pieces. This change is required not to break NAT sequence
      adjustment and conntrack confirmation for traffic that is enqueued
      to our user-space conntrack helpers.
      
      Basic operation, in a few steps:
      
      1) Register user-space helper by means of `nfct':
      
       nfct helper add ftp inet tcp
      
       [ It must be a valid existing helper supported by conntrack-tools ]
      
      2) Add rules to enable the FTP user-space helper which is
         used to track traffic going to TCP port 21.
      
      For locally generated packets:
      
       iptables -I OUTPUT -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp
      
      For non-locally generated packets:
      
       iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp
      
      3) Run the test conntrackd in helper mode (see example files under
         doc/helper/conntrackd.conf
      
       conntrackd
      
      4) Generate FTP traffic going, if everything is OK, then conntrackd
         should create expectations (you can check that with `conntrack':
      
       conntrack -E expect
      
          [NEW] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp
      [DESTROY] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp
      
      This confirms that our test helper is receiving packets including the
      conntrack information, and adding expectations in kernel-space.
      
      The user-space helper can also store its private tracking information
      in the conntrack structure in the kernel via the CTA_HELP_INFO. The
      kernel will consider this a binary blob whose layout is unknown. This
      information will be included in the information that is transfered
      to user-space via glue code that integrates nfnetlink_queue and
      ctnetlink.

      netfilter: add extended accounting infrastructure over nfnetlink · 94139027
      Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于
      We currently have two ways to account traffic in netfilter:
      
      - iptables chain and rule counters:
      
       # iptables -L -n -v
      Chain INPUT (policy DROP 3 packets, 867 bytes)
       pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination
          8  1104 ACCEPT     all  --  lo     *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0
      
      - use flow-based accounting provided by ctnetlink:
      
       # conntrack -L
      tcp      6 431999 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.1.130 dst=212.106.219.168 sport=58152 dport=80 packets=47 bytes=7654 src=212.106.219.168 dst=192.168.1.130 sport=80 dport=58152 packets=49 bytes=66340 [ASSURED] mark=0 use=1
      
      While trying to display real-time accounting statistics, we require
      to pool the kernel periodically to obtain this information. This is
      OK if the number of flows is relatively low. However, in case that
      the number of flows is huge, we can spend a considerable amount of
      cycles to iterate over the list of flows that have been obtained.
      
      Moreover, if we want to obtain the sum of the flow accounting results
      that match some criteria, we have to iterate over the whole list of
      existing flows, look for matchings and update the counters.
      
      This patch adds the extended accounting infrastructure for
      nfnetlink which aims to allow displaying real-time traffic accounting
      without the need of complicated and resource-consuming implementation
      in user-space. Basically, this new infrastructure allows you to create
      accounting objects. One accounting object is composed of packet and
      byte counters.
      
      In order to manipulate create accounting objects, you require the
      new libnetfilter_acct library. It contains several examples of use:
      
      libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-add http-traffic
      libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-get
      http-traffic = { pkts = 000000000000,   bytes = 000000000000 };
      
      Then, you can use one of this accounting objects in several iptables
      rules using the new nfacct match (which comes in a follow-up patch):
      
       # iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic
       # iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic
      
      The idea is simple: if one packet matches the rule, the nfacct match
      updates the counters.

      netfilter: ipset: IP set core support · a7b4f989
      Jozsef Kadlecsik 提交于
      The patch adds the IP set core support to the kernel.
      
      The IP set core implements a netlink (nfnetlink) based protocol by which
      one can create, destroy, flush, rename, swap, list, save, restore sets,
      and add, delete, test elements from userspace. For simplicity (and backward
      compatibilty and for not to force ip(6)tables to be linked with a netlink
      library) reasons a small getsockopt-based protocol is also kept in order
      to communicate with the ip(6)tables match and target.
      
      The netlink protocol passes all u16, etc values in network order with
      NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flag. The protocol enforces the proper use of the
      NLA_F_NESTED and NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flags.
      
      For other kernel subsystems (netfilter match and target) the API contains
      the functions to add, delete and test elements in sets and the required calls
      to get/put refereces to the sets before those operations can be performed.
      
      The set types (which are implemented in independent modules) are stored
      in a simple RCU protected list. A set type may have variants: for example
      without timeout or with timeout support, for IPv4 or for IPv6. The sets
      (i.e. the pointers to the sets) are stored in an array. The sets are
      identified by their index in the array, which makes possible easy and
      fast swapping of sets. The array is protected indirectly by the nfnl
      mutex from nfnetlink. The content of the sets are protected by the rwlock
      of the set.
      
      There are functional differences between the add/del/test functions
      for the kernel and userspace:
      
      - kernel add/del/test: works on the current packet (i.e. one element)
      - kernel test: may trigger an "add" operation  in order to fill
        out unspecified parts of the element from the packet (like MAC address)
      - userspace add/del: works on the netlink message and thus possibly
        on multiple elements from the IPSET_ATTR_ADT container attribute.
      - userspace add: may trigger resizing of a set

      netfilter: nf_conntrack_tstamp: add flow-based timestamp extension · a992ca2a
      Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于
      This patch adds flow-based timestamping for conntracks. This
      conntrack extension is disabled by default. Basically, we use
      two 64-bits variables to store the creation timestamp once the
      conntrack has been confirmed and the other to store the deletion
      time. This extension is disabled by default, to enable it, you
      have to:
      
      echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp
      
      This patch allows to save memory for user-space flow-based
      loogers such as ulogd2. In short, ulogd2 does not need to
      keep a hashtable with the conntrack in user-space to know
      when they were created and destroyed, instead we use the
      kernel timestamp. If we want to have a sane IPFIX implementation
      in user-space, this nanosecs resolution timestamps are also
      useful. Other custom user-space applications can benefit from
      this via libnetfilter_conntrack.
      
      This patch modifies the /proc output to display the delta time
      in seconds since the flow start. You can also obtain the
      flow-start date by means of the conntrack-tools.

      netfilter: nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack snmp helper · 93557f53
      Jiri Olsa 提交于
      Adding support for SNMP broadcast connection tracking. The SNMP
      broadcast requests are now paired with the SNMP responses.
      Thus allowing using SNMP broadcasts with firewall enabled.
      
      Please refer to the following conversation:
      http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=125992205006600&w=2

      This patch implements the "second best choice".
      
      Since the netbios-ns conntrack module uses the same helper
      functionality as the snmp, only one helper function is added
      for both snmp and netbios-ns modules into the new object -
      nf_conntrack_broadcast.

      netfilter: audit target to record accepted/dropped packets · 43f393ca
      Thomas Graf 提交于
      This patch adds a new netfilter target which creates audit records
      for packets traversing a certain chain.
      
      It can be used to record packets which are rejected administraively
      as follows:
      
        -N AUDIT_DROP
        -A AUDIT_DROP -j AUDIT --type DROP
        -A AUDIT_DROP -j DROP
      
      a rule which would typically drop or reject a packet would then
      invoke the new chain to record packets before dropping them.
      
        -j AUDIT_DROP
      
      The module is protocol independant and works for iptables, ip6tables
      and ebtables.
      
      The following information is logged:
       - netfilter hook
       - packet length
       - incomming/outgoing interface
       - MAC src/dst/proto for ethernet packets
       - src/dst/protocol address for IPv4/IPv6
       - src/dst port for TCP/UDP/UDPLITE
       - icmp type/code

      netfilter: add xt_cpu match · e8648a1f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      In some situations a CPU match permits a better spreading of
      connections, or select targets only for a given cpu.
      
      With Remote Packet Steering or multiqueue NIC and appropriate IRQ
      affinities, we can distribute trafic on available cpus, per session.
      (all RX packets for a given flow is handled by a given cpu)
      
      Some legacy applications being not SMP friendly, one way to scale a
      server is to run multiple copies of them.
      
      Instead of randomly choosing an instance, we can use the cpu number as a
      key so that softirq handler for a whole instance is running on a single
      cpu, maximizing cache effects in TCP/UDP stacks.
      
      Using NAT for example, a four ways machine might run four copies of
      server application, using a separate listening port for each instance,
      but still presenting an unique external port :
      
      iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 0 \
              -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
      
      iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 1 \
              -j REDIRECT --to-port 8081
      
      iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 2 \
              -j REDIRECT --to-port 8082
      
      iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 3 \

      netfilter: add CHECKSUM target · edf0e1fb
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      This adds a `CHECKSUM' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle
      table.
      
      You can use this target to compute and fill in the checksum in
      a packet that lacks a checksum.  This is particularly useful,
      if you need to work around old applications such as dhcp clients,
      that do not work well with checksum offloads, but don't want to
      disable checksum offload in your device.
      
      The problem happens in the field with virtualized applications.
      For reference, see Red Hat bz 605555, as well as
      http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg37660.html
      
      Typical expected use (helps old dhclient binary running in a VM):
      iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport bootpc \
      	-j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill

      netfilter: xtables: idletimer target implementation · 0902b469
      Luciano Coelho 提交于
      This patch implements an idletimer Xtables target that can be used to
      identify when interfaces have been idle for a certain period of time.
      
      Timers are identified by labels and are created when a rule is set with a new
      label.  The rules also take a timeout value (in seconds) as an option.  If
      more than one rule uses the same timer label, the timer will be restarted
      whenever any of the rules get a hit.
      
      One entry for each timer is created in sysfs.  This attribute contains the
      timer remaining for the timer to expire.  The attributes are located under
      the xt_idletimer class:
      
      /sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/<label>
      
      When the timer expires, the target module sends a sysfs notification to the
      userspace, which can then decide what to do (eg. disconnect to save power).
