[RFC PATCH 0/6] netfilter: nf_tables: add mixed IPv4/IPv6 table support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The following patches add support for mixed IPv4/IPv6 tables to nftables.

The first patch fixes the chain type override logic so chain types override
the AF defaults instead of the other way around. The second patch adds a
pointer to the nf_hook_ops struct to nft_pktinfo for a later patch which
uses ops->pf to match the actual AF of the packet instead of the dummy
NFPROTO_INET value. The third patch changes the chain and hook registration
logic to support multiple hook registrations. The nf_tables AF modules can
provide a callback function to override defaults. The fourth patch finally
adds a new "inet" family, which basically only initializes the hook
functions to the IPv4 and IPv6 specific ones and registers a dummy filter
chain type for NFPROTO_INET. Patches 5 and 6 add support for matching on
the netfilter hook family and the L4 protocol number to the meta match.

With all this in place, we can create AF-specific rules and AF-independant
rules that only match on the L4 protocol header and above in the inet table:

table inet filter {
        chain input {
                 type filter hook input priority 0;
        }

	chain forward {
                 type filter hook forward priority 0;
        }

	chain output {
                 type filter hook output priority 0;
                 ip protocol tcp tcp dport 1234 counter packets 2 bytes 120
                 ip6 nexthdr tcp tcp dport 1234 counter packets 2 bytes 160
                 tcp dport 1234 counter packets 4 bytes 280
	}
}

Userspace needs a bit of polishing but will most likely follow in a few
hours.

Comments welcome.
