* nft: Introduce NFT_CL_SETS cache levelPhil Sutter2019-11-251-9/+196
| | | | | | | | | | In order to support anonymous sets, introduce an intermediate cache level between NFT_CL_CHAINS and NFT_CL_RULES. Actually chains are not needed to fetch sets, but given that sets are only needed for rules, put it late to not slow down fetching chains.

* nft: Optimize flushing all chains of a tablePhil Sutter2019-10-171-3/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Sutter2019-10-171-20/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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-cache: Support partial cache per tablePhil Sutter2019-10-171-25/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | Accept a builtin_table pointer in __nft_build_cache() and pass it along when fetching chains and rules to operate on that table only (unless the pointer is NULL). Make use of it in nft_chain_list_get() since that accepts a table name and performs a builtin table lookup internally already.

* nft-cache: Cover for multiple fetcher invocationPhil Sutter2019-10-171-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Preparing for partial caches, it is necessary to make sure these functions don't cause harm if called repeatedly. * Use h->cache->tables pointer as indicator for existing table cache, return immediately from fetch_table_cache() if non-NULL. * Initialize table's chain list only if non-NULL. * Search for chain in table's chain list before adding it. * Don't fetch rules for a chain if it has any rules already. With rule list being embedded in struct nftnl_chain, this is the best way left to check if rules have been fetched already or not. It will fail for empty chains, but causes no harm in that case, either. Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc> Acked-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* nft-cache: Fetch only chains in nft_chain_list_get()Phil Sutter2019-10-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The function is used to return the given table's chains, so fetching chain cache is enough. Add calls to nft_build_cache() in places where a rule cache is required. Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc> Acked-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* nft-cache: Introduce cache levelsPhil Sutter2019-10-171-15/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the simple have_cache boolean by a cache level indicator defining how complete the cache is. Since have_cache indicated full cache (including rules), make code depending on it check for cache level NFT_CL_RULES. Core cache fetching routine __nft_build_cache() accepts a new level via parameter and raises cache completeness to that level.

* nft: Extract cache routines into nft-cache.cPhil Sutter2019-10-101-0/+376
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>
