* src: add table netlink messages to the batchPablo Neira Ayuso2014-05-191-1/+5
| | | | | | | This patch moves the table messages to the netlink batch that is sent to kernel-space. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: add chain netlink messages to the batchPablo Neira Ayuso2014-05-191-0/+4
| | | | | | | This patch moves the chain netlink messages to the big netlink batch that is sent to kernel-space. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: add set netlink message to the batchPablo Neira Ayuso2014-05-191-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the netlink set messages to the batch that contains the rules. This helps to speed up rule-set restoration time by changing the operational. To achieve this, an internal set ID which is unique to the batch is allocated as suggested by Patrick. To retain backward compatibility, nft initially guesses if the kernel supports set in batches. Otherwise, it falls back to the previous (slowier) operational. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: add events reportingArturo Borrero2014-04-251-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a basic events reporting option to nft. The syntax is: % nft monitor [new|destroy] [tables|chains|rules|sets|elements] [xml|json] Signed-off-by: Arturo Borrero Gonzalez <arturo.borrero.glez@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* ruleset: add XML/JSON exportArturo Borrero Gonzalez2014-01-231-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the following operation: :~# nft export <xml|json> The XML/JSON output is provided raw by libnftnl, thus without format. In case of XML, you can give format with the `xmllint' tool from libxml2-tools: :~# nft list ruleset xml | xmllint --format - In case of JSON, you can use `json_pp' from perl standar package: :~# nft list ruleset json | json_pp A format field is added in struct cmd, and it will be reused in the import operation.

* nftables: fix supression of "permission denied" errorsPatrick McHardy2014-01-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduction of batch support broke displaying of EPERM since those are generated by the kernel before batch processing starts and thus have the sequence number of the NFNL_MSG_BATCH_BEGIN message instead of the command messages. Also only a single error message is generated for the entire batch. This patch fixes this by noting the batch sequence number and displaying the error for all commands since this is what would happen if the permission check was inside batch processing as every other check.

* src: add rule batching supportPablo Neira Ayuso2013-09-231-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows nft to put all rule update messages into one single batch that is sent to the kernel if `-f' option is used. In order to provide fine grain error reporting, I decided to to correlate the netlink message sequence number with the correspoding command sequence number, which is the same. Thus, nft can identify what rules trigger problems inside a batch and report them accordingly. Moreover, to avoid playing buffer size games at batch building stage, ie. guess what is the final size of the batch for this ruleset update will be, this patch collects batch pages that are converted to iovec to ensure linearization when the batch is sent to the kernel. This reduces the amount of unnecessary memory usage that is allocated for the batch. This patch uses the libmnl nlmsg batching infrastructure and it requires the kernel patch entitled (netfilter: nfnetlink: add batch support and use it from nf_tables).

* src: use libnftablesPablo Neira Ayuso2013-06-241-0/+43
This patch migrates nft to use the libnftables library, that is used by the iptables over nftables compat utility as well. Most of the conversion was pretty straight forward. Some small significant changes happened in the handling of set element and immediate data abstraction that libnl provides. libnftables is a bit more granular since it splits the struct nfnl_nft_data into three attributes: verdict, chain and plain data (used in maps). I have added a new file src/mnl.c that contains the low level netlink communication that now resides in nftables source tree instead of the library. This should help to implement the batching support using libmnl in follow up patches. I also spent some significant amount of time running my tests to make sure that we don't increase the number of bugs that we already have (I plan to provide a list of those that I have detected and diagnosed, so anyone else can help us to fix them). As a side effect, this change should also prepare the ground for JSON and XML support anytime soon. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
