This patch allows you to atomically remove all rules stored in a table via the NFT_MSG_DELRULE command. You only need to indicate the specific table and no chain to flush all rules stored in that table. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I already indicated this in october: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/280192/ but this probably got lost. I'm going to submit to qualify this as fix otherwise we won't have sane table flushing in the first nftables release. net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c | 46 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 33 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c b/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c index dcddc49..237b49a 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c @@ -1717,6 +1717,19 @@ nf_tables_delrule_one(struct nft_ctx *ctx, struct nft_rule *rule) return -ENOENT; } +static int nf_table_delrule_by_chain(struct nft_ctx *ctx) +{ + struct nft_rule *rule, *tmp; + int err; + + list_for_each_entry_safe(rule, tmp, &ctx->chain->rules, list) { + err = nf_tables_delrule_one(ctx, rule); + if (err < 0) + return err; + } + return 0; +} + static int nf_tables_delrule(struct sock *nlsk, struct sk_buff *skb, const struct nlmsghdr *nlh, const struct nlattr * const nla[]) @@ -1725,8 +1738,8 @@ static int nf_tables_delrule(struct sock *nlsk, struct sk_buff *skb, const struct nft_af_info *afi; struct net *net = sock_net(skb->sk); const struct nft_table *table; - struct nft_chain *chain; - struct nft_rule *rule, *tmp; + struct nft_chain *chain = NULL; + struct nft_rule *rule; int family = nfmsg->nfgen_family, err = 0; struct nft_ctx ctx; @@ -1738,22 +1751,29 @@ static int nf_tables_delrule(struct sock *nlsk, struct sk_buff *skb, if (IS_ERR(table)) return PTR_ERR(table); - chain = nf_tables_chain_lookup(table, nla[NFTA_RULE_CHAIN]); - if (IS_ERR(chain)) - return PTR_ERR(chain); + if (nla[NFTA_RULE_CHAIN]) { + chain = nf_tables_chain_lookup(table, nla[NFTA_RULE_CHAIN]); + if (IS_ERR(chain)) + return PTR_ERR(chain); + } nft_ctx_init(&ctx, skb, nlh, afi, table, chain, nla); - if (nla[NFTA_RULE_HANDLE]) { - rule = nf_tables_rule_lookup(chain, nla[NFTA_RULE_HANDLE]); - if (IS_ERR(rule)) - return PTR_ERR(rule); + if (chain) { + if (nla[NFTA_RULE_HANDLE]) { + rule = nf_tables_rule_lookup(chain, + nla[NFTA_RULE_HANDLE]); + if (IS_ERR(rule)) + return PTR_ERR(rule); - err = nf_tables_delrule_one(&ctx, rule); - } else { - /* Remove all rules in this chain */ - list_for_each_entry_safe(rule, tmp, &chain->rules, list) { err = nf_tables_delrule_one(&ctx, rule); + } else { + err = nf_table_delrule_by_chain(&ctx); + } + } else { + list_for_each_entry(chain, &table->chains, list) { + ctx.chain = chain; + err = nf_table_delrule_by_chain(&ctx); if (err < 0) break; } -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
