netfilter: don't use mutex_lock_interruptible()

2014-08-08T14:47:23+00:00

Eric Dumazet reports that getsockopt() or setsockopt() sometimes
returns -EINTR instead of -ENOPROTOOPT, causing headaches to
application developers.

This patch replaces all the mutex_lock_interruptible() by mutex_lock()
in the netfilter tree, as there is no reason we should sleep for a
long time there.

netfilter: kill remnants of ulog targets

2014-07-25T12:55:44+00:00

The ulog targets were recently killed. A few references to the Kconfig
macros CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_ULOG and CONFIG_BRIDGE_EBT_ULOG were left
untouched. Kill these too.

netfilter: bridge: add reject support

2014-07-22T10:00:22+00:00

So you can reject IPv4 and IPv6 packets from bridge tables. If the ether
proto is now known, default on dropping the packet instead.

netfilter: bridge: add generic packet logger

2014-06-27T11:20:47+00:00

This adds the generic plain text packet loggger for bridged packets.
It routes the logging message to the real protocol packet logger.
I decided not to refactor the ebt_log code for two reasons:

1) The ebt_log output is not consistent with the IPv4 and IPv6
   Netfilter packet loggers. The output is different for no good
   reason and it adds redundant code to handle packet logging.

2) To avoid breaking backward compatibility for applications
   outthere that are parsing the specific ebt_log output, the ebt_log
   output has been left as is. So only nftables will use the new
   consistent logging format for logged bridged packets.

More decisions coming in this patch:

1) This also removes ebt_log as default logger for bridged packets.
   Thus, nf_log_packet() routes packet to this new packet logger
   instead. This doesn't break backward compatibility since
   nf_log_packet() is not used to log packets in plain text format
   from anywhere in the ebtables/netfilter bridge code.

2) The new bridge packet logger also performs a lazy request to
   register the real IPv4, ARP and IPv6 netfilter packet loggers.
   If the real protocol logger is no available (not compiled or the
   module is not available in the system, not packet logging happens.

netfilter: nf_log: use an array of loggers instead of list

2014-06-25T17:28:43+00:00

Now that legacy ulog targets are not available anymore in the tree, we
can have up to two possible loggers:

1) The plain text logging via kernel logging ring.
2) The nfnetlink_log infrastructure which delivers log messages
   to userspace.

This patch replaces the list of loggers by an array of two pointers
per family for each possible logger and it also introduces a new field
to the nf_logger structure which indicates the position in the logger
array (based on the logger type).

This prepares a follow up patch that consolidates the nf_log_packet()
interface by allowing to specify the logger as parameter.

netfilter: kill ulog targets

This has been marked as deprecated for quite some time and the NFLOG
target replacement has been also available since 2006.

netfilter: bridge: fix Kconfig unmet dependencies

2014-05-26T04:42:30+00:00

Before f5efc69 ("netfilter: nf_tables: Add meta expression key for
bridge interface name"), the entire net/bridge/netfilter/ directory
depended on BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES, ie. on ebtables. However, that
directory already contained the nf_tables bridge extension that
we should allow to compile separately. In f5efc69, we tried to
generalize this by using CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER which was not a good
idea since this option already existed and it is dedicated to enable
the Netfilter bridge IP/ARP filtering.

Let's try to fix this mess by:

1) making net/bridge/netfilter/ dependent on the toplevel
   CONFIG_NETFILTER option, just like we do with the net/netfilter and
   net/ipv{4,6}/netfilter/ directories.

2) Changing 'selects' to 'depends on' NETFILTER_XTABLES for
   BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES. I believe this problem was already before
   f5efc69:

warning: (BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES) selects NETFILTER_XTABLES which has
unmet direct dependencies (NET && INET && NETFILTER)

3) Fix ebtables/nf_tables bridge dependencies by making NF_TABLES_BRIDGE
   and BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES dependent on BRIDGE and NETFILTER:

warning: (NF_TABLES_BRIDGE && BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES) selects
BRIDGE_NETFILTER which has unmet direct dependencies (NET && BRIDGE &&
NETFILTER && INET && NETFILTER_ADVANCED)

====================
Netfilter/nftables updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter/nftables updates for net-next,
most relevantly they are:

1) Add set element update notification via netlink, from Arturo Borrero.

2) Put all object updates in one single message batch that is sent to
   kernel-space. Before this patch only rules where included in the batch.
   This series also introduces the generic transaction infrastructure so
   updates to all objects (tables, chains, rules and sets) are applied in
   an all-or-nothing fashion, these series from me.

3) Defer release of objects via call_rcu to reduce the time required to
   commit changes. The assumption is that all objects are destroyed in
   reverse order to ensure that dependencies betweem them are fulfilled
   (ie. rules and sets are destroyed first, then chains, and finally
   tables).

4) Allow to match by bridge port name, from Tomasz Bursztyka. This series
   include two patches to prepare this new feature.

5) Implement the proper set selection based on the characteristics of the
   data. The new infrastructure also allows you to specify your preferences
   in terms of memory and computational complexity so the underlying set
   type is also selected according to your needs, from Patrick McHardy.

6) Several cleanup patches for nft expressions, including one minor possible
   compilation breakage due to missing mark support, also from Patrick.

netfilter: Can't fail and free after table replacement

2014-04-05T15:46:22+00:00

All xtables variants suffer from the defect that the copy_to_user()
to copy the counters to user memory may fail after the table has
already been exchanged and thus exposed. Return an error at this
point will result in freeing the already exposed table. Any
subsequent packet processing will result in a kernel panic.

We can't copy the counters before exposing the new tables as we
want provide the counter state after the old table has been
unhooked. Therefore convert this into a silent error.
