[iptables PATCH 3/3] nft: Fix for concurrent noflush restore calls

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

 



Transaction refresh was broken with regards to nft_chain_restore(): It
created a rule flush batch object only if the chain was found in cache
and a chain add object only if the chain was not found. Yet with
concurrent ruleset updates, one has to expect both situations:

* If a chain vanishes, the rule flush job must be skipped and instead
  the chain add job become active.

* If a chain appears, the chain add job must be skipped and instead
  rules flushed.

Change the code accordingly: Create both batch objects and set their
'skip' field depending on the situation in cache and adjust both in
nft_refresh_transaction().

As a side-effect, the implicit rule flush becomes explicit and all
handling of implicit batch jobs is dropped along with the related field
indicating such.

Reuse the 'implicit' parameter of __nft_rule_flush() to control the
initial 'skip' field value instead.

A subtle caveat is vanishing of existing chains: Creating the chain add
job based on the chain in cache causes a netlink message containing that
chain's handle which the kernel dislikes. Therefore unset the chain's
handle in that case.

Fixes: 58d7de0181f61 ("xtables: handle concurrent ruleset modifications")
