netfilter: ip6tables: Add a .pre_exit hook in all ip6table_foo.c.

2020-06-24T22:50:31+00:00

Using new helpers ip6t_unregister_table_pre_exit() and
ip6t_unregister_table_exit().

netfilter: ip6tables: Split ip6t_unregister_table() into pre_exit and exit helpers.

2020-06-24T22:50:31+00:00

The pre_exit will un-register the underlying hook and .exit will do
the table freeing. The netns core does an unconditional synchronize_rcu
after the pre_exit hooks insuring no packets are in flight that have
picked up the pointer before completing the un-register.

netfilter: Add MODULE_DESCRIPTION entries to kernel modules

2020-06-24T22:50:31+00:00

The user tool modinfo is used to get information on kernel modules, including a
description where it is available.

This patch adds a brief MODULE_DESCRIPTION to netfilter kernel modules
(descriptions taken from Kconfig file or code comments)

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

netfilter: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

2020-03-15T14:20:16+00:00

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

Lastly, fix checkpatch.pl warning
WARNING: __aligned(size) is preferred over __attribute__((aligned(size)))
in net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

inet: Use fallthrough;

2020-03-12T22:55:00+00:00

Convert the various uses of fallthrough comments to fallthrough;

Done via script
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/b56602fcf79f849e733e7b521bb0e17895d390fa.1582230379.git.joe@perches.com/

And by hand:

net/ipv6/ip6_fib.c has a fallthrough comment outside of an #ifdef block
that causes gcc to emit a warning if converted in-place.

So move the new fallthrough; inside the containing #ifdef/#endif too.

net: Fix Kconfig indentation, continued

2019-11-21T20:00:21+00:00

Adjust indentation from spaces to tab (+optional two spaces) as in
coding style.  This fixes various indentation mixups (seven spaces,
tab+one space, etc).

netfilter: nf_flow_table_offload: add IPv6 support

2019-11-15T22:44:47+00:00

Add nf_flow_rule_route_ipv6() and use it from the IPv6 and the inet
flowtable type definitions. Rename the nf_flow_rule_route() function to
nf_flow_rule_route_ipv4().

Adjust maximum number of actions, which now becomes 16 to leave
sufficient room for the IPv6 address mangling for NAT.

netfilter: nf_flow_table: hardware offload support

2019-11-13T03:42:26+00:00

This patch adds the dataplane hardware offload to the flowtable
infrastructure. Three new flags represent the hardware state of this
flow:

* FLOW_OFFLOAD_HW: This flow entry resides in the hardware.
* FLOW_OFFLOAD_HW_DYING: This flow entry has been scheduled to be remove
  from hardware. This might be triggered by either packet path (via TCP
  RST/FIN packet) or via aging.
* FLOW_OFFLOAD_HW_DEAD: This flow entry has been already removed from
  the hardware, the software garbage collector can remove it from the
  software flowtable.

This patch supports for:

* IPv4 only.
* Aging via FLOW_CLS_STATS, no packet and byte counter synchronization
  at this stage.

This patch also adds the action callback that specifies how to convert
the flow entry into the flow_rule object that is passed to the driver.

netfilter: nf_tables: add flowtable offload control plane

2019-11-13T03:42:26+00:00

This patch adds the NFTA_FLOWTABLE_FLAGS attribute that allows users to
specify the NF_FLOWTABLE_HW_OFFLOAD flag. This patch also adds a new
setup interface for the flowtable type to perform the flowtable offload
block callback configuration.
