For performance of VM to VM traffic on a single host it is better to avoid
calculation of TCP/UDP checksum in the sending frontend. To allow this this
patch adds the code necessary to set up partial checksum for IPv6 packets
and xenstore flag feature-ipv6-csum-offload to advertise that fact to

netfilter updates: nf_tables pull request

The following patchset contains the current original nf_tables tree
condensed in 17 patches. I have organized them by chronogical order
since the original nf_tables code was released in 2009 and by
dependencies between the different patches.

The patches are:

1) Adapt all existing hooks in the tree to pass hook ops to the
   hook callback function, required by nf_tables, from Patrick McHardy.

2) Move alloc_null_binding to nf_nat_core, as it is now also needed by
   nf_tables and ip_tables, original patch from Patrick McHardy but
   required major changes to adapt it to the current tree that I made.

3) Add nf_tables core, including the netlink API, the packet filtering
   engine, expressions and built-in tables, from Patrick McHardy. This
   patch includes accumulated fixes since 2009 and minor enhancements.
   The patch description contains a list of references to the original
   patches for the record. For those that are not familiar to the
   original work, see [1], [2] and [3].

4) Add netlink set API, this replaces the original set infrastructure
   to introduce a netlink API to add/delete sets and to add/delete
   set elements. This includes two set types: the hash and the rb-tree
   sets (used for interval based matching). The main difference with
   ipset is that this infrastructure is data type agnostic. Patch from
   Patrick McHardy.

5) Allow expression operation overload, this API change allows us to
   provide define expression subtypes depending on the configuration
   that is received from user-space via Netlink. It is used by follow
   up patches to provide optimized versions of the payload and cmp
   expressions and the x_tables compatibility layer, from Patrick
   McHardy.

6) Add optimized data comparison operation, it requires the previous
   patch, from Patrick McHardy.

7) Add optimized payload implementation, it requires patch 5, from
   Patrick McHardy.

8) Convert built-in tables to chain types. Each chain type have special
   semantics (filter, route and nat) that are used by userspace to
   configure the chain behaviour. The main chain regarding iptables
   is that tables become containers of chain, with no specific semantics.
   However, you may still configure your tables and chains to retain
   iptables like semantics, patch from me.

9) Add compatibility layer for x_tables. This patch adds support to
   use all existing x_tables extensions from nf_tables, this is used
   to provide a userspace utility that accepts iptables syntax but
   used internally the nf_tables kernel core. This patch includes
   missing features in the nf_tables core such as the per-chain
   stats, default chain policy and number of chain references, which
   are required by the iptables compatibility userspace tool. Patch
   from me.

10) Fix transport protocol matching, this fix is a side effect of the
    x_tables compatibility layer, which now provides a pointer to the
    transport header, from me.

11) Add support for dormant tables, this feature allows you to disable
    all chains and rules that are contained in one table, from me.

12) Add IPv6 NAT support. At the time nf_tables was made, there was no
    NAT IPv6 support yet, from Tomasz Bursztyka.

13) Complete net namespace support. This patch register the protocol
    family per net namespace, so tables (thus, other objects contained
    in tables such as sets, chains and rules) are only visible from the
    corresponding net namespace, from me.

14) Add the insert operation to the nf_tables netlink API, this requires
    adding a new position attribute that allow us to locate where in the
    ruleset a rule needs to be inserted, from Eric Leblond.

15) Add rule batching support, including atomic rule-set updates by
    using rule-set generations. This patch includes a change to nfnetlink
    to include two new control messages to indicate the beginning and
    the end of a batch. The end message is interpreted as the commit
    message, if it's missing, then the rule-set updates contained in the
    batch are aborted, from me.

16) Add trace support to the nf_tables packet filtering core, from me.

17) Add ARP filtering support, original patch from Patrick McHardy, but
    adapted to fit into the chain type infrastructure. This was recovered
    to be used by nft userspace tool and our compatibility arptables
    userspace tool.

There is still work to do to fully replace x_tables [4] [5] but that can
be done incrementally by extending our netlink API. Moreover, looking at
netfilter-devel and the amount of contributions to nf_tables we've been
getting, I think it would be good to have it mainstream to avoid accumulating
large patchsets skip continuous rebases.

I tried to provide a reasonable patchset, we have more than 100 accumulated
patches in the original nf_tables tree, so I collapsed many of the small
fixes to the main patch we had since 2009 and provide a small batch for
review to netdev, while trying to retain part of the history.

For those who didn't give a try to nf_tables yet, there's a quick howto
available from Eric Leblond that describes how to get things working [6].

Comments/reviews welcome.

Thanks!

This patch adds support for tracing the packet travel through
the ruleset, in a similar fashion to x_tables.
Signed-off-by: NPablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

This patch adds a batch support to nfnetlink. Basically, it adds
two new control messages:

* NFNL_MSG_BATCH_BEGIN, that indicates the beginning of a batch,
  the nfgenmsg->res_id indicates the nfnetlink subsystem ID.

* NFNL_MSG_BATCH_END, that results in the invocation of the
  ss->commit callback function. If not specified or an error
  ocurred in the batch, the ss->abort function is invoked
  instead.

The end message represents the commit operation in nftables, the
lack of end message results in an abort. This patch also adds the
.call_batch function that is only called from the batch receival
path.

This patch adds atomic rule updates and dumps based on
bitmask generations. This allows to atomically commit a set of
rule-set updates incrementally without altering the internal
state of existing nf_tables expressions/matches/targets.

The idea consists of using a generation cursor of 1 bit and
a bitmask of 2 bits per rule. Assuming the gencursor is 0,
then the genmask (expressed as a bitmask) can be interpreted
as:

00 active in the present, will be active in the next generation.
01 inactive in the present, will be active in the next generation.
10 active in the present, will be deleted in the next generation.
 ^
 gencursor

Once you invoke the transition to the next generation, the global
gencursor is updated:

00 active in the present, will be active in the next generation.
01 active in the present, needs to zero its future, it becomes 00.
10 inactive in the present, delete now.
^
gencursor

If a dump is in progress and nf_tables enters a new generation,
the dump will stop and return -EBUSY to let userspace know that
it has to retry again. In order to invalidate dumps, a global
genctr counter is increased everytime nf_tables enters a new
generation.

This new operation can be used from the user-space utility
that controls the firewall, eg.

nft -f restore

The rule updates contained in `file' will be applied atomically.

cat file
-----
add filter INPUT ip saddr 1.1.1.1 counter accept #1
del filter INPUT ip daddr 2.2.2.2 counter drop   #2
-EOF-

Note that the rule 1 will be inactive until the transition to the
next generation, the rule 2 will be evicted in the next generation.

There is a penalty during the rule update due to the branch
misprediction in the packet matching framework. But that should be
quickly resolved once the iteration over the commit list that
contain rules that require updates is finished.

Event notification happens once the rule-set update has been
committed. So we skip notifications is case the rule-set update
is aborted, which can happen in case that the rule-set is tested
to apply correctly.

This patch squashed the following patches from Pablo:

* nf_tables: atomic rule updates and dumps
* nf_tables: get rid of per rule list_head for commits
* nf_tables: use per netns commit list
* nfnetlink: add batch support and use it from nf_tables

This patch adds a new rule attribute NFTA_RULE_POSITION which is
used to store the position of a rule relatively to the others.
By providing the create command and specifying the position, the
rule is inserted after the rule with the handle equal to the
provided position.

Regarding notification, the position attribute specifies the
handle of the previous rule to make sure we don't point to any
stale rule in notifications coming from the commit path.

This patch allows you to temporarily disable an entire table.
You can change the state of a dormant table via NFT_MSG_NEWTABLE
messages. Using this operation you can wake up a table, so their
chains are registered.

This provides atomicity at chain level. Thus, the rule-set of one
chain is applied at once, avoiding any possible intermediate state
in every chain. Still, the chains that belongs to a table are
registered consecutively. This also allows you to have inactive
tables in the kernel.

Signed-off-by: NPablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

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

* nf_tables: add protocol and flags for xtables over nf_tables
* nf_tables: add ip[6]t_entry emulation
* nf_tables: move specific layer 3 compat code to nf_tables_ipv[4|6]

This patch converts built-in tables/chains to chain types that
allows you to deploy customized table and chain configurations from
userspace.

After this patch, you have to specify the chain type when
creating a new chain:

 add chain ip filter output { type filter hook input priority 0; }
                              ^^^^ ------

The existing chain types after this patch are: filter, route and
nat. Note that tables are just containers of chains with no specific
semantics, which is a significant change with regards to iptables.

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()

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):

* 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
code that has been done since 2009, which are:

From Patrick McHardy:

* nf_tables: allow to remove all rules placed in one chain
* nf_tables: use 64-bits rule handle instead of 16-bits
* nf_tables: fix chain after rule deletion
* nf_tables: improve deletion performance
* nf_tables: add missing code in route chain type
* nf_tables: rise maximum number of expressions from 12 to 128
* nf_tables: don't delete table if in use
* nf_tables: fix basechain release

From Tomasz Bursztyka:
* nf_tables: Add support for changing users chain's name
* nf_tables: Change chain's name to be fixed sized

Similar to nat_decode_session, alloc_null_binding is needed for both
ip_tables and nf_tables, so move it to nf_nat_core.c. This change
is required by nf_tables.

This is an adapted version of the original patch from Patrick McHardy.

Pass the hook ops to the hookfn to allow for generic hook
functions. This change is required by nf_tables.

We do not actually need to set any rx filters for the virtual batman
soft interface. However a dummy handler enables a user to set static
multicast listeners for instance.

This is a simple batadv_tt_save_orig_buffer() refactoring

Implement batadv_tt_entries() to get the number of entries
fitting in a given amount of bytes. This computation is done
several times in the code and therefore it is useful to have
an helper function.

This is not used anymore with the new fragmentation, and it might
actually mess up the bonding code because find_router() assumes it
is only called once per packet.

The module prints a warning when the MTU on the hard interface is too
small to transfer payload traffic without fragmentation. The required
MTU is calculated based on the encapsulation header size. If network
coding is compild into the module its header size is taken into
account as well.

the icmp and the icmp_rr packets share the same initial
fields since they use the same code to be processed and
forwarded.

Extract the common fields and put them into a separate
struct so that future ICMP packets can be easily added
without bloating the packet definition.

However, keep the seqno field outside of the newly created
common header because future ICMP types may require a
bigger sequence number space.

This change breaks compatibility due to fields reordering
in the ICMP headers.
