nftables and iptables nat coexistence

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

 



Hi.

Couple of month ago I sent 2 RFC patches to allow using nftables and
iptables NAT at same time.

If this is unwanted (there was concern wrt. to the new hooks I had to
add for this), we should at least improve/restrict iptables and nftables
to

1. not allow load if iptable_nat when nft nat hook is active.
2. make it a requirement to register empty nat hook (required for
the reply direction).
3. Do not permit more than one nat type per family/hook.
4. we should probably also add more checks on nat priority
for nftables to reject hooks that can't work due to no-conntrack
information being available at that point.

I think not allowing nft and iptablles nat at the same time is fine
as mixing has problems on its own, especially which transformation
gets precedence, so I suspect the old RFC patches resolve one issue
and add another one :)

So, are the old RFC patches NAKed or not?  If they are, I'd first look at
#1 from the list but before I do some consensus would be welcome.

Thanks,
Florian
