netfilter: move reroute indirection to struct nf_ipv6_ops

2018-01-08T17:10:53+00:00

We cannot make a direct call to nf_ip6_reroute() because that would result
in autoloading the 'ipv6' module because of symbol dependencies.
Therefore, define reroute indirection in nf_ipv6_ops where this really
belongs to.

For IPv4, we can indeed make a direct function call, which is faster,
given IPv4 is built-in in the networking code by default. Still,
CONFIG_INET=n and CONFIG_NETFILTER=y is possible, so define empty inline
stub for IPv4 in such case.

netfilter: remove saveroute indirection in struct nf_afinfo

2018-01-08T17:01:25+00:00

This is only used by nf_queue.c and this function comes with no symbol
dependencies with IPv6, it just refers to structure layouts. Therefore,
we can replace it by a direct function call from where it belongs.

netfilter: Define v6ops in !CONFIG_NETFILTER case.

2015-08-27T23:35:51+00:00

When CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH is set, and CONFIG_NETFILTER is not set, the
openvswitch IPv6 fragmentation handling cannot refer to ipv6_ops because
it isn't defined. Add a dummy version to avoid #ifdefs in source files.

netfilter: bridge: forward IPv6 fragmented packets

2015-06-12T12:10:12+00:00

IPv6 fragmented packets are not forwarded on an ethernet bridge
with netfilter ip6_tables loaded. e.g. steps to reproduce

1) create a simple bridge like this

        modprobe br_netfilter
        brctl addbr br0
        brctl addif br0 eth0
        brctl addif br0 eth2
        ifconfig eth0 up
        ifconfig eth2 up
        ifconfig br0 up

2) place a host with an IPv6 address on each side of the bridge

        set IPv6 address on host A:
        ip -6 addr add fd01:2345:6789:1::1/64 dev eth0

        set IPv6 address on host B:
        ip -6 addr add fd01:2345:6789:1::2/64 dev eth0

3) run a simple ping command on host A with packets > MTU

        ping6 -s 4000 fd01:2345:6789:1::2

4) wait some time and run e.g. "ip6tables -t nat -nvL" on the bridge

IPv6 fragmented packets traverse the bridge cleanly until somebody runs.
"ip6tables -t nat -nvL". As soon as it is run (and netfilter modules are
loaded) IPv6 fragmented packets do not traverse the bridge any more (you
see no more responses in ping's output).

After applying this patch IPv6 fragmented packets traverse the bridge
cleanly in above scenario.

netfilter: bridge: detect NAT66 correctly and change MAC address

2015-06-12T12:08:07+00:00

IPv4 iptables allows to REDIRECT/DNAT/SNAT any traffic over a bridge.

e.g. REDIRECT
$ sysctl -w net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1
$ iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 \
  -j REDIRECT --to-ports 81

This does not work with ip6tables on a bridge in NAT66 scenario
because the REDIRECT/DNAT/SNAT is not correctly detected.

The bridge pre-routing (finish) netfilter hook has to check for a possible
redirect and then fix the destination mac address. This allows to use the
ip6tables rules for local REDIRECT/DNAT/SNAT REDIRECT similar to the IPv4
iptables version.

e.g. REDIRECT
$ sysctl -w net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables=1
$ ip6tables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 \
  -j REDIRECT --to-ports 81

This patch makes it possible to use IPv6 NAT66 on a bridge. It was tested
on a bridge with two interfaces using SNAT/DNAT NAT66 rules.
