2012-03-26netfilter: ipset: avoid use of kernel-only typesJan Engelhardt
When using the xt_set.h header in userspace, one will get these gcc reports: ipset/ip_set.h:184:1: error: unknown type name "u16" In file included from libxt_SET.c:21:0: netfilter/xt_set.h:61:2: error: unknown type name "u32" netfilter/xt_set.h:62:2: error: unknown type name "u32" Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de> Signed-off-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2012-03-07netfilter: xt_CT: allow to attach timeout policy + glue codePablo Neira Ayuso
This patch allows you to attach the timeout policy via the CT target, it adds a new revision of the target to ensure backward compatibility. Moreover, it also contains the glue code to stick the timeout object defined via nfnetlink_cttimeout to the given flow. Example usage (it requires installing the nfct tool and libnetfilter_cttimeout): 1) create the timeout policy: nfct timeout add tcp-policy0 inet tcp \ established 1000 close 10 time_wait 10 last_ack 10 2) attach the timeout policy to the packet: iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp -j CT --timeout tcp-policy0 You have to install the following user-space software: a) libnetfilter_cttimeout: git://git.netfilter.org/libnetfilter_cttimeout b) nfct: git://git.netfilter.org/nfct You also have to get iptables with -j CT --timeout support.

2012-03-07netfilter: add cttimeout infrastructure for fine timeout tuningPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the infrastructure to add fine timeout tuning over nfnetlink. Now you can use the NFNL_SUBSYS_CTNETLINK_TIMEOUT subsystem to create/delete/dump timeout objects that contain some specific timeout policy for one flow. The follow up patches will allow you attach timeout policy object to conntrack via the CT target and the conntrack extension infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

This patch allows you to set expectfn which is specifically used by the NAT side of most of the existing conntrack helpers.

This patch adds CTA_MARK_MASK which, together with CTA_MARK, allows you to selectively send conntrack entries to user-space by returning those that match mark & mask.

2012-01-16netfilter: revert user-space expectation helper supportPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch partially reverts: 3d058d7 netfilter: rework user-space expectation helper support that was applied during the 3.2 development cycle. After this patch, the tree remains just like before patch bc01bef, that initially added the preliminary infrastructure. I decided to partially revert this patch because the approach that I proposed to resolve this problem is broken in NAT setups. Moreover, a new infrastructure will be submitted for the 3.3.x development cycle that resolve the existing issues while providing a neat solution. Since nobody has been seriously using this infrastructure in user-space, the removal of this feature should affect any know FOSS project (to my knowledge).

2011-12-25netfilter: xtables: add nfacct match to support extended accountingPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the match that allows to perform extended accounting. It requires the new nfnetlink_acct infrastructure. # 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 Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2011-12-25netfilter: add extended accounting infrastructure over nfnetlinkPablo Neira Ayuso
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.

2011-12-23netfilter: rework user-space expectation helper supportPablo Neira Ayuso
This partially reworks bc01befdcf3e40979eb518085a075cbf0aacede0 which added userspace expectation support. This patch removes the nf_ct_userspace_expect_list since now we force to use the new iptables CT target feature to add the helper extension for conntracks that have attached expectations from userspace. A new version of the proof-of-concept code to implement userspace helpers from userspace is available at: http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/userspace-conntrack-helpers/nf-ftp-helper-POC.tar.bz2 This patch also modifies the CT target to allow to set the conntrack's userspace helper status flags. This flag is used to tell the conntrack system to explicitly allocate the helper extension. This helper extension is useful to link the userspace expectations with the master conntrack that is being tracked from one userspace helper. This feature fixes a problem in the current approach of the userspace helper support. Basically, if the master conntrack that has got a userspace expectation vanishes, the expectations point to one invalid memory address. Thus, triggering an oops in the expectation deletion event path. I decided not to add a new revision of the CT target because I only needed to add a new flag for it. I'll document in this issue in the iptables manpage. I have also changed the return value from EINVAL to EOPNOTSUPP if one flag not supported is specified. Thus, in the future adding new features that only require a new flag can be added without a new revision. There is no official code using this in userspace (apart from the proof-of-concept) that uses this infrastructure but there will be some by beginning 2012.

2011-12-22percpu: Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variantsChristoph Lameter
We simply say that regular this_cpu use must be safe regardless of preemption and interrupt state. That has no material change for x86 and s390 implementations of this_cpu operations. However, arches that do not provide their own implementation for this_cpu operations will now get code generated that disables interrupts instead of preemption. -tj: This is part of on-going percpu API cleanup.

2011-12-04netfilter: add ipv4 reverse path filter matchFlorian Westphal
This tries to do the same thing as fib_validate_source(), but differs in several aspects. The most important difference is that the reverse path filter built into fib_validate_source uses the oif as iif when performing the reverse lookup. We do not do this, as the oif is not yet known by the time the PREROUTING hook is invoked. We can't wait until FORWARD chain because by the time FORWARD is invoked ipv4 forward path may have already sent icmp messages is response to to-be-discarded-via-rpfilter packets. To avoid the such an additional lookup in PREROUTING, Patrick McHardy suggested to attach the path information directly in the match (i.e., just do what the standard ipv4 path does a bit earlier in PREROUTING). This works, but it also has a few caveats. Most importantly, when using marks in PREROUTING to re-route traffic based on the nfmark, -m rpfilter would have to be used after the nfmark has been set; otherwise the nfmark would have no effect (because the route is already attached). Another problem would be interaction with -j TPROXY, as this target sets an nfmark and uses ACCEPT instead of continue, i.e. such a version of -m rpfilter cannot be used for the initial to-be-intercepted packets. In case in turns out that the oif is required, we can add Patricks suggestion with a new match option (e.g. --rpf-use-oif) to keep ruleset compatibility. Another difference to current builtin ipv4 rpfilter is that packets subject to ipsec transformation are not automatically excluded. If you want this, simply combine -m rpfilter with the policy match. Packets arriving on loopback interfaces always match. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Acked-by: David S.

2011-04-04netfilter: get rid of atomic ops in fast pathEric Dumazet
We currently use a percpu spinlock to 'protect' rule bytes/packets counters, after various attempts to use RCU instead. Lately we added a seqlock so that get_counters() can run without blocking BH or 'writers'. But we really only need the seqcount in it. Spinlock itself is only locked by the current/owner cpu, so we can remove it completely. This cleanups api, using correct 'writer' vs 'reader' semantic. At replace time, the get_counters() call makes sure all cpus are done using the old table.
