src: add fib expression
This adds the 'fib' expression which can be used to obtain the output interface from the route table based on either source or destination address of a packet. This can be used to e.g. add reverse path filtering: # drop if not coming from the same interface packet # arrived on # nft add rule x prerouting fib saddr . iif oif eq 0 drop # accept only if from eth0 # nft add rule x prerouting fib saddr . iif oif eq "eth0" accept # accept if from any valid interface # nft add rule x prerouting fib saddr oif accept Querying of address type is also supported. This can be used to e.g. only accept packets to addresses configured in the same interface: # fib daddr . iif type local Its also possible to use mark and verdict map, e.g.: # nft add rule x prerouting meta mark set 0xdead fib daddr . mark type vmap { blackhole : drop, prohibit : drop, unicast : accept } Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
