Reject rules where a load occurs from a register that has not seen a store
early in the same rule.
commit 4c905f6740a3 ("netfilter: nf_tables: initialize registers in
nft_do_chain()")
had to add a unconditional memset to the nftables register space to avoid
leaking stack information to userspace.
This memset shows up in benchmarks. After this change, this commit can
be reverted again.
Note that this breaks userspace compatibility, because theoretically
you can do
rule 1: reg2 := meta load iif, reg2 == 1 jump ...
rule 2: reg2 == 2 jump ... // read access with no store in this rule
... after this change this is rejected.
Neither nftables nor iptables-nft generate such rules, each rule is
always standalone.
This resuts in a small increase of nft_ctx structure by sizeof(long).
To cope with hypothetical rulesets like the example above one could emit
on-demand "reg[x] = 0" store when generating the datapath blob in
nf_tables_commit_chain_prepare().
A patch that does this is linked to below.
For now, lets disable this. In nf_tables, a rule is the smallest
unit that can be replaced from userspace, i.e. a hypothetical ruleset
that relies on earlier initialisations of registers can't be changed
at will as register usage would need to be coordinated.
