* nft: Optimize flushing all chains of a tablePhil Sutter2019-10-171-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Leverage nftables' support for flushing all chains of a table by omitting NFTNL_RULE_CHAIN attribute in NFT_MSG_DELRULE payload. The only caveat is with verbose output, as that still requires to have a list of (existing) chains to iterate over. Apart from that, implementing this shortcut is pretty straightforward: Don't retrieve a chain list and just call __nft_rule_flush() directly which doesn't set above attribute if chain name pointer is NULL. A bigger deal is keeping rule cache consistent: Instead of just clearing rule list for each flushed chain, flush_rule_cache() is updated to iterate over all cached chains of the given table, clearing their rule lists if not called for a specific chain. While being at it, sort local variable declarations in nft_rule_flush() from longest to shortest and drop the loop-local 'chain_name' variable (but instead use 'chain' function parameter which is not used at that point).

* nft-cache: Support partial rule cache per chainPhil Sutter2019-10-171-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Accept an additional chain name pointer in __nft_build_cache() and pass it along to fetch only that specific chain and its rules. Enhance nft_build_cache() to take an optional nftnl_chain pointer to fetch rules for. Enhance nft_chain_list_get() to take an optional chain name. If cache level doesn't include chains already, it will fetch only the specified chain from kernel (if existing) and add that to table's chain list which is returned. This keeps operations for all chains of a table or a specific one within the same code path in nft.c. Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc> Acked-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* nft: Extract cache routines into nft-cache.cPhil Sutter2019-10-101-0/+17
The amount of code dealing with caching only is considerable and hence deserves an own source file. Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc> Acked-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
