I found this to be ugly and cumbersome, I'd propose following
syntax instead:
FIB fib_type fib_family '{' fib_addr fib_key_flags '}'
The {} are needed because I'd like to use 'mark' and 'oif' in flags but
these can also be expressions, i.e. I need something that tells
the parser when end of FIB flags are reached (so instead of { }
it could also use single ';' or something else ...)
This gives following examples:
fib oif { saddr } # ip route get $saddr, place ifindex into register)
fib oif { saddr mark,saddr,oif } # same, but populate flowi .saddr,mark,oif
members as well
fib oif { daddr mark,saddr,oif } # same, except that flowi.daddr is set
# to iph->daddr)
so fib_addr is the direction (if you ask for daddr, flowi.daddr is
set to iph->daddr, else iph->saddr).
If you specifiy oif flag, flowi.oif is set to skb->dev.
(Needed for ipv6 to allow strict filtering/ limit results).
Alternative would be to toss 'oif' flag name and use opposite
('loose'), like in iptables.
Yet another alternative would be to use the sysctl we have for this
(net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter) but I'd like to avoid it.
The family is optional, it would later allow to e.g. ask for
inet fib lookups from bridge family, and to ask for MAC FIB
lookups for bridge family ('fib oif bridge { saddr }').
If you prefer original "." for this it would be easy to change
but using "," seems more in line with other flag parameters
that nft has.

That works (I have a patch) but it requires strcmp() voodoo to find
out what the user asked for initially.
For reference, above grammar looks like this:
fib_expr : FIB fib_type fib_family '{' fib_addr fib_key_flags '}'
{
$$ = fib_expr_alloc(&@$, $2, $3);
$$->fib.addr = $5;
$$->fib.flags = $6;
}
;
fib_type : OIF { $$ = NFT_FIBTYPE_OIF; }
;
fib_addr : SADDR { $$ = IPHDR_SADDR; }
| DADDR { $$ = IPHDR_DADDR; }
;
fib_family : /* empty */ { $$ = PROTO_BASE_NETWORK_HDR; }
| INET { $$ = PROTO_BASE_NETWORK_HDR; }
;
fib_key_flag : MARK { $$ = NFTA_FIB_F_MARK; }
| SADDR { $$ = NFTA_FIB_F_SADDR; }
| DSCP { $$ = NFTA_FIB_F_DSCP; }
| OIF { $$ = NFTA_FIB_F_OIF; }
| { $$ = 0; }
;
fib_key_flags : fib_key_flag
| fib_key_flag COMMA fib_key_flags
{
$$ = $1 | $3;
}
;
So parser handles everything and I don't have to throw 'unsupported expression'
errors from eval step either.
For -m addrtype support, this might look like this:
fib addrtype { saddr oif }
I think it can re-use all of this and I don't see any problems so far.
Let me know and I will start working on kernel side for this.
