====================
nf-next pull request

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your
net-next tree. Regarding nf_tables, most updates focus on consolidating
the NAT infrastructure and adding support for masquerading. More
specifically, they are:

1) use __u8 instead of u_int8_t in arptables header, from
   Mike Frysinger.

2) Add support to match by skb->pkttype to the meta expression, from
   Ana Rey.

3) Add support to match by cpu to the meta expression, also from
   Ana Rey.

4) A smatch warning about IPSET_ATTR_MARKMASK validation, patch from
   Vytas Dauksa.

5) Fix netnet and netportnet hash types the range support for IPv4,
   from Sergey Popovich.

6) Fix missing-field-initializer warnings resolved, from Mark Rustad.

7) Dan Carperter reported possible integer overflows in ipset, from
   Jozsef Kadlecsick.

8) Filter out accounting objects in nfacct by type, so you can
   selectively reset quotas, from Alexey Perevalov.

9) Move specific NAT IPv4 functions to the core so x_tables and
   nf_tables can share the same NAT IPv4 engine.

10) Use the new NAT IPv4 functions from nft_chain_nat_ipv4.

11) Move specific NAT IPv6 functions to the core so x_tables and
    nf_tables can share the same NAT IPv4 engine.

12) Use the new NAT IPv6 functions from nft_chain_nat_ipv6.

13) Refactor code to add nft_delrule(), which can be reused in the
    enhancement of the NFT_MSG_DELTABLE to remove a table and its
    content, from Arturo Borrero.

14) Add a helper function to unregister chain hooks, from
    Arturo Borrero.

15) A cleanup to rename to nft_delrule_by_chain for consistency with
    the new nft_*() functions, also from Arturo.

16) Add support to match devgroup to the meta expression, from Ana Rey.

17) Reduce stack usage for IPVS socket option, from Julian Anastasov.

18) Remove unnecessary textsearch state initialization in xt_string,
    from Bojan Prtvar.

19) Add several helper functions to nf_tables, more work to prepare
    the enhancement of NFT_MSG_DELTABLE, again from Arturo Borrero.

20) Enhance NFT_MSG_DELTABLE to delete a table and its content, from
    Arturo Borrero.

21) Support NAT flags in the nat expression to indicate the flavour,
    eg. random fully, from Arturo.

22) Add missing audit code to ebtables when replacing tables, from
    Nicolas Dichtel.

23) Generalize the IPv4 masquerading code to allow its re-use from
    nf_tables, from Arturo.

24) Generalize the IPv6 masquerading code, also from Arturo.

25) Add the new masq expression to support IPv4/IPv6 masquerading
    from nf_tables, also from Arturo.

netfilter: nf_tables: add new nft_masq expression

2014-09-09T14:31:30+00:00

The nft_masq expression is intended to perform NAT in the masquerade flavour.

We decided to have the masquerade functionality in a separated expression other
than nft_nat.

netfilter: move NAT Kconfig switches out of the iptables scope

2014-08-18T19:55:54+00:00

Currently, the NAT configs depend on iptables and ip6tables. However,
users should be capable of enabling NAT for nft without having to
switch on iptables.

Fix this by adding new specific IP_NF_NAT and IP6_NF_NAT config
switches for iptables and ip6tables NAT support. I have also moved
the original NF_NAT_IPV4 and NF_NAT_IPV6 configs out of the scope
of iptables to make them independent of it.

This patch also adds NETFILTER_XT_NAT which selects the xt_nat
combo that provides snat/dnat for iptables. We cannot use NF_NAT
anymore since nf_tables can select this.

netfilter: log: split family specific code to nf_log_{ip,ip6,common}.c files

2014-06-27T11:19:59+00:00

The plain text logging is currently embedded into the xt_LOG target.
In order to be able to use the plain text logging from nft_log, as a
first step, this patch moves the family specific code to the following
files and Kconfig symbols:

1) net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_log_ip.c: CONFIG_NF_LOG_IPV4
2) net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_log_ip6.c: CONFIG_NF_LOG_IPV6
3) net/netfilter/nf_log_common.c: CONFIG_NF_LOG_COMMON

These new modules will be required by xt_LOG and nft_log. This patch
is based on original patch from Arturo Borrero Gonzalez.

netfilter: introduce l2tp match extension

2014-01-09T20:36:39+00:00

Introduce an xtables add-on for matching L2TP packets. Supports L2TPv2
and L2TPv3 over IPv4 and IPv6. As well as filtering on L2TP tunnel-id
and session-id, the filtering decision can also include the L2TP
packet type (control or data), protocol version (2 or 3) and
encapsulation type (UDP or IP).

The most common use for this will likely be to filter L2TP data
packets of individual L2TP tunnels or sessions. While a u32 match can
be used, the L2TP protocol headers are such that field offsets differ
depending on bits set in the header, making rules for matching generic
L2TP connections cumbersome. This match extension takes care of all
that.

netfilter: nf_tables: add "inet" table for IPv4/IPv6

2014-01-07T22:57:25+00:00

This patch adds a new table family and a new filter chain that you can
use to attach IPv4 and IPv6 rules. This should help to simplify
rule-set maintainance in dual-stack setups.

nftables updates for net-next

The following patchset contains nftables updates for your net-next tree,
they are:

* Add set operation to the meta expression by means of the select_ops()
  infrastructure, this allows us to set the packet mark among other things.
  From Arturo Borrero Gonzalez.

* Fix wrong format in sscanf in nf_tables_set_alloc_name(), from Daniel
  Borkmann.

* Add new queue expression to nf_tables. These comes with two previous patches
  to prepare this new feature, one to add mask in nf_tables_core to
  evaluate the queue verdict appropriately and another to refactor common
  code with xt_NFQUEUE, from Eric Leblond.

* Do not hide nftables from Kconfig if nfnetlink is not enabled, also from
  Eric Leblond.

* Add the reject expression to nf_tables, this adds the missing TCP RST
  support. It comes with an initial patch to refactor common code with
  xt_NFQUEUE, again from Eric Leblond.

* Remove an unused variable assignment in nf_tables_dump_set(), from Michal
  Nazarewicz.

* Remove the nft_meta_target code, now that Arturo added the set operation
  to the meta expression, from me.

* Add help information for nf_tables to Kconfig, also from me.

* Allow to dump all sets by specifying NFPROTO_UNSPEC, similar feature is
  available to other nf_tables objects, requested by Arturo, from me.

* Expose the table usage counter, so we can know how many chains are using
  this table without dumping the list of chains, from Tomasz Bursztyka.

netfilter: x_tables: lightweight process control group matching

2014-01-03T22:41:44+00:00

It would be useful e.g. in a server or desktop environment to have
a facility in the notion of fine-grained "per application" or "per
application group" firewall policies. Probably, users in the mobile,
embedded area (e.g. Android based) with different security policy
requirements for application groups could have great benefit from
that as well. For example, with a little bit of configuration effort,
an admin could whitelist well-known applications, and thus block
otherwise unwanted "hard-to-track" applications like [1] from a
user's machine. Blocking is just one example, but it is not limited
to that, meaning we can have much different scenarios/policies that
netfilter allows us than just blocking, e.g. fine grained settings
where applications are allowed to connect/send traffic to, application
traffic marking/conntracking, application-specific packet mangling,
and so on.

Implementation of PID-based matching would not be appropriate
as they frequently change, and child tracking would make that
even more complex and ugly. Cgroups would be a perfect candidate
for accomplishing that as they associate a set of tasks with a
set of parameters for one or more subsystems, in our case the
netfilter subsystem, which, of course, can be combined with other
cgroup subsystems into something more complex if needed.

As mentioned, to overcome this constraint, such processes could
be placed into one or multiple cgroups where different fine-grained
rules can be defined depending on the application scenario, while
e.g. everything else that is not part of that could be dropped (or
vice versa), thus making life harder for unwanted processes to
communicate to the outside world. So, we make use of cgroups here
to track jobs and limit their resources in terms of iptables
policies; in other words, limiting, tracking, etc what they are
allowed to communicate.

In our case we're working on outgoing traffic based on which local
socket that originated from. Also, one doesn't even need to have
an a-prio knowledge of the application internals regarding their
particular use of ports or protocols. Matching is *extremly*
lightweight as we just test for the sk_classid marker of sockets,
originating from net_cls. net_cls and netfilter do not contradict
each other; in fact, each construct can live as standalone or they
can be used in combination with each other, which is perfectly fine,
plus it serves Tejun's requirement to not introduce a new cgroups
subsystem. Through this, we result in a very minimal and efficient
module, and don't add anything except netfilter code.

One possible, minimal usage example (many other iptables options
can be applied obviously):

 1) Configuring cgroups if not already done, e.g.:

  mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls
  mount -t cgroup -o net_cls net_cls /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls
  mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0
  echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/net_cls.classid
  (resp. a real flow handle id for tc)

 2) Configuring netfilter (iptables-nftables), e.g.:

  iptables -A OUTPUT -m cgroup ! --cgroup 1 -j DROP

 3) Running applications, e.g.:

  ping 208.67.222.222  
  echo 1799 > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/tasks
  64 bytes from 208.67.222.222: icmp_seq=44 ttl=49 time=11.9 ms
  [...]
  ping 208.67.220.220  
  ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
  [...]
  echo 1804 > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/tasks
  64 bytes from 208.67.220.220: icmp_seq=89 ttl=56 time=19.0 ms
  [...]

Of course, real-world deployments would make use of cgroups user
space toolsuite, or own custom policy daemons dynamically moving
applications from/to various cgroups.
