* src: expr: remove expr_ops from struct exprFlorian Westphal2019-02-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | size of struct expr changes from 144 to 128 bytes on x86_64. This doesn't look like much, but large rulesets can have tens of thousands of expressions (each set element is represented by an expression). Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
* libnftables: Implement JSON output supportPhil Sutter2018-05-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Although technically there already is support for JSON output via 'nft export json' command, it is hardly useable since it exports all the gory details of nftables VM. Also, libnftables has no control over what is exported since the content comes directly from libnftnl. Instead, implement JSON format support for regular 'nft list' commands.

* src: get rid of printfPhil Sutter2017-09-291-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces nft_print()/nft_gmp_print() functions which have to be used instead of printf to output information that were previously send to stdout. These functions print to a FILE pointer defined in struct output_ctx. It is set by calling: | old_fp = nft_ctx_set_output(ctx, new_fp); Having an application-defined FILE pointer is actually quite flexible: Using fmemopen() or even fopencookie(), an application gains full control over what is printed and where it should go to.

* src: Pass stateless, numeric, ip2name and handle variables as structure members.Varsha Rao2017-06-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | libnftables library will be created soon. So declare numeric_output, stateless_output, ip2name_output and handle_output as members of structure output_ctx, instead of global variables. Rename these variables as following, numeric_output -> numeric stateless_output -> stateless ip2name_output -> ip2name handle_output -> handle Also add struct output_ctx *octx as member of struct netlink_ctx.

* src: add offset attribute for numgen expressionLaura Garcia Liebana2016-10-271-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support to add an offset to the numgen generated value. Example: ct mark set numgen inc mod 2 offset 100 This will generate marks with serie like 100, 101, 100, ...

* src: add numgen expressionPablo Neira Ayuso2016-08-291-0/+68
This new expression allows us to generate incremental and random numbers bound to a specified modulus value. The following rule sets the conntrack mark of 0 to the first packet seen, then 1 to second packet, then 0 again to the third packet and so on: # nft add rule x y ct mark set numgen inc mod 2 A more useful example is a simple load balancing scenario, where you can also use maps to set the destination NAT address based on this new numgen expression: # nft add rule nat prerouting \ dnat to numgen inc mod 2 map { 0 : 192.168.10.100, 1 : 192.168.20.200 } So this is distributing new connections in a round-robin fashion between 192.168.10.100 and 192.168.20.200. Don't forget the special NAT chain semantics: Only the first packet evaluates the rule, follow up packets rely on conntrack to apply the NAT information. You can also emulate flow distribution with different backend weights using intervals: # nft add rule nat prerouting \ dnat to numgen inc mod 10 map { 0-5 : 192.168.10.100, 6-9 : 192.168.20.200 } So 192.168.10.100 gets 60% of the workload, while 192.168.20.200 gets 40%. We can also be mixed with dynamic sets, thus weight can be updated in runtime. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
