Commit d0009effa886 ("netfilter: nf_tables: validate NFPROTO_* family") added
some validation of NFPROTO_* families in the nft_compat module, but it broke
the ability to use legacy iptables modules in dual-stack nftables.
While with legacy iptables one had to independently manage IPv4 and IPv6
tables, with nftables it is possible to have dual-stack tables sharing the
rules. Moreover, it was possible to use rules based on legacy iptables
match/target modules in dual-stack nftables.
As an example, the program from [2] creates an INET dual-stack family table
using an xt_bpf based rule, which looks like the following (the actual output
was generated with a patched nft tool as the current nft tool does not parse
dual stack tables with legacy match rules, so consider it for illustrative
purposes only):
table inet testfw {
chain input {
type filter hook prerouting priority filter; policy accept;
bytecode counter packets 0 bytes 0 accept
}
}
After d0009effa886 ("netfilter: nf_tables: validate NFPROTO_* family") we get
EOPNOTSUPP for the above program.
Fix this by allowing NFPROTO_INET for nft_(match/target)_validate(), but also
restrict the functions to classic iptables hooks.
Changes in v3:
* clarify that upstream nft will not display such configuration properly and
that the output was generated with a patched nft tool
* remove example program from commit description and link to it instead
* no code changes otherwise
Changes in v2:
* restrict nft_(match/target)_validate() to classic iptables hooks
* rewrite example program to use unmodified libnftnl
