From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@xxxxxxxxx> First, log prefix will be truncated to NF_LOG_PREFIXLEN-1, i.e. 127, at nf_log_packet(), so the extra part is useless. Second, after adding a log rule with a very very long prefix, we will fail to dump the nft rules after this _special_ one, but acctually, they do exist. For example: # name_65000=$(printf "%0.sQ" {1..65000}) # nft add rule filter output log prefix "$name_65000" # nft add rule filter output counter # nft add rule filter output counter # nft list chain filter output table ip filter { chain output { type filter hook output priority 0; policy accept; } } So now, restrict the log prefix length to NF_LOG_PREFIXLEN-1. Fixes: 96518518cc41 ("netfilter: add nftables") Signed-off-by: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@xxxxxxxxx> --- I think this is different with http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/717635/. So another separate patch will be better. include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nf_log.h | 2 ++ net/netfilter/nf_log.c | 1 - net/netfilter/nft_log.c | 3 ++- 3 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nf_log.h b/include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nf_log.h index 8be21e0..d0b5fa9 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nf_log.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nf_log.h @@ -9,4 +9,6 @@ #define NF_LOG_MACDECODE 0x20 /* Decode MAC header */ #define NF_LOG_MASK 0x2f +#define NF_LOG_PREFIXLEN 128 + #endif /* _NETFILTER_NF_LOG_H */ diff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_log.c b/net/netfilter/nf_log.c index 3dca90d..ffb9e8a 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nf_log.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_log.c @@ -13,7 +13,6 @@ /* Internal logging interface, which relies on the real LOG target modules */ -#define NF_LOG_PREFIXLEN 128 #define NFLOGGER_NAME_LEN 64 static struct nf_logger __rcu *loggers[NFPROTO_NUMPROTO][NF_LOG_TYPE_MAX] __read_mostly; diff --git a/net/netfilter/nft_log.c b/net/netfilter/nft_log.c index 6271e40..6f6e644 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nft_log.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nft_log.c @@ -39,7 +39,8 @@ static void nft_log_eval(const struct nft_expr *expr, static const struct nla_policy nft_log_policy[NFTA_LOG_MAX + 1] = { [NFTA_LOG_GROUP] = { .type = NLA_U16 }, - [NFTA_LOG_PREFIX] = { .type = NLA_STRING }, + [NFTA_LOG_PREFIX] = { .type = NLA_STRING, + .len = NF_LOG_PREFIXLEN - 1 }, [NFTA_LOG_SNAPLEN] = { .type = NLA_U32 }, [NFTA_LOG_QTHRESHOLD] = { .type = NLA_U16 }, [NFTA_LOG_LEVEL] = { .type = NLA_U32 }, -- 2.5.5 -- 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
