      netfilter: nf_tables: export rule-set generation ID · 84d7fce6
      Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于
      This patch exposes the ruleset generation ID in three ways:
      
      1) The new command NFT_MSG_GETGEN that exposes the 32-bits ruleset
         generation ID. This ID is incremented in every commit and it
         should be large enough to avoid wraparound problems.
      
      2) The less significant 16-bits of the generation ID are exposed through
         the nfgenmsg->res_id header field. This allows us to quickly catch
         if the ruleset has change between two consecutive list dumps from
         different object lists (in this specific case I think the risk of
         wraparound is unlikely).
      
      3) Userspace subscribers may receive notifications of new rule-set
         generation after every commit. This also provides an alternative
         way to monitor the generation ID. If the events are lost, the
         userspace process hits a overrun error, so it knows that it is
         working with a stale ruleset anyway.
      
      Patrick spotted that rule-set transformations in userspace may take
      quite some time. In that case, it annotates the 32-bits generation ID
      before fetching the rule-set, then:
      
      1) it compares it to what we obtain after the transformation to
         make sure it is not working with a stale rule-set and no wraparound
         has ocurred.
      
      2) it subscribes to ruleset notifications, so it can watch for new
         generation ID.
      
      This is complementary to the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR approach, which allows
      us to detect an interference in the middle one single list dumping.
      There is no way to explicitly check that an interference has occurred
      between two list dumps from the kernel, since it doesn't know how
      many lists the userspace client is actually going to dump.
