[PATCH nf-next 3/3] netfilter: Introduce egress hook

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

 



Commit e687ad60af09 ("netfilter: add netfilter ingress hook after
handle_ing() under unique static key") introduced the ability to
classify packets on ingress.

Allow the same on egress.  Position the hook immediately before a packet
is handed to tc and then sent out on an interface, thereby mirroring the
ingress order.  This order allows marking packets in the netfilter
egress hook and subsequently using the mark in tc.  Another benefit of
this order is consistency with a lot of existing documentation which
says that egress tc is performed after netfilter hooks.

Egress hooks already exist for the most common protocols, such as
NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT or NF_ARP_OUT, and those are to be preferred because
they are executed earlier during packet processing.  However for more
exotic protocols, there is currently no provision to apply netfilter on
egress.  A common workaround is to enslave the interface to a bridge and
use ebtables, or to resort to tc.  But when the ingress hook was
introduced, consensus was that users should be given the choice to use
netfilter or tc, whichever tool suits their needs best:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20150430153317.GA3230@salvia/

There have also been occasional user requests for a netfilter egress
hook in the past, e.g.:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netfilter/msg50038.html

Performance measurements with pktgen surprisingly show a speedup rather
than a slowdown with this commit:

Tested on a bare-metal Core i7-3615QM, each measurement was performed
three times to verify that the numbers are stable.

Commands to perform a measurement:
modprobe pktgen
echo "add_device lo@3" > /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_3
samples/pktgen/pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_queue_xmit.sh -i 'lo@3' -n 100000000

Commands for testing tc egress:
tc qdisc add dev lo clsact
tc filter add dev lo egress protocol ip prio 1 u32 match ip dst 4.3.2.1/32

Commands for testing nft egress:
nft add table netdev t
nft add chain netdev t co \{ type filter hook egress device lo priority 0 \; \}
nft add rule netdev t co ip daddr 4.3.2.1/32 drop

All testing was performed on the loopback interface to avoid distorting
measurements by the packet handling in the low-level Ethernet driver.
