Commit e687ad60af09 ("netfilter: add netfilter ingress hook after
handle_ing() under unique static key") introduced the ability to
classify packets with netfilter on ingress.
Support the same on egress to satisfy user requirements such as:
* outbound security policies for containers (Laura)
* filtering and mangling intra-node Direct Server Return (DSR) traffic
on a load balancer (Laura)
* filtering locally generated traffic coming in through AF_PACKET,
such as local ARP traffic generated for clustering purposes or DHCP
(Laura; the AF_PACKET plumbing is contained in a separate commit)
* L2 filtering from ingress and egress for AVB (Audio Video Bridging)
and gPTP with nftables (Pablo)
* in the future: in-kernel NAT64/NAT46 (Pablo)
A patch for nftables to hook up egress rules from user space has been
submitted separately, so users may immediately take advantage of the
feature.
The hook is positioned after packet handling by traffic control.
Thus, if packets are redirected into and out of containers with tc,
the data path is:
ingress: host tc -> container tc -> container nft
egress: container tc -> host tc -> host nft
This was done to address an objection from Daniel Borkmann: If desired,
nft does not get into tc's way performance-wise. The host is able to
firewall malicious packets coming out of a container, but only after tc
has done its duty. An implication is that tc may set skb->mark on
egress for nft to act on it, but not the other way round.
If egress netfilter handling is not enabled on any interface, it is
patched out of the data path by way of a static_key and doesn't make a
performance difference that is discernible from noise:
Before: 2076 2076 2076 2077 2077 2074 Mb/sec
After: 2080 2078 2078 2079 2079 2077 Mb/sec
Before + tc accept: 1877 1875 1878 1874 1882 1873 Mb/sec
After + tc accept: 1874 1877 1881 1875 1876 1876 Mb/sec
Before + tc drop: 2167 2182 2168 2171 2164 2171 Mb/sec
After + tc drop: 2176 2180 2184 2178 2178 2180 Mb/sec
Measurements were performed on a Core i7-3615QM. Commands to reproduce:
ip link add dev foo type dummy
ip link set dev foo up
modprobe pktgen
echo "add_device foo" > /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_3
samples/pktgen/pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_queue_xmit.sh -i foo -n 400000000 -m "11:11:11:11:11:11" -d 1.1.1.1
Accept all traffic with tc:
tc qdisc add dev foo clsact
tc filter add dev foo egress bpf da bytecode '1,6 0 0 0,'
Drop all traffic with tc:
tc qdisc add dev foo clsact
tc filter add dev foo egress bpf da bytecode '1,6 0 0 2,'
Apply this patch when measuring packet drops to avoid errors in dmesg:
