Changes:
- v3: reverted no longer needed changes to x_tables.c
- v2: use a fixed size match structure to communicate between
kernel and userspace.
Support arbitrary linux socket filter (BPF) programs as iptables
match rules. This allows for very expressive filters, and on
platforms with BPF JIT appears competitive with traditional hardcoded
iptables rules.
At least, on an x86_64 that achieves 40K netperf TCP_STREAM without
any iptables rules (40 GBps),
inserting 100x this bpf rule gives 28K
./iptables -A OUTPUT -m bpf --bytecode '6,40 0 0 14, 21 0 3 2048,48 0 0 25,21 0 1 20,6 0 0 96,6 0 0 0,' -j
(as generated by tcpdump -i any -ddd ip proto 20 | tr '\n' ',')
inserting 100x this u32 rule gives 21K
./iptables -A OUTPUT -m u32 --u32 '6&0xFF=0x20' -j DROP
The two are logically equivalent, as far as I can tell. Let me know
if my test methodology is flawed in some way. Even in cases where
slower, the filter adds functionality currently lacking in iptables,
such as access to sk_buff fields like rxhash and queue_mapping.
