* xtables: Remove target_maxnamelen fieldPhil Sutter2018-10-151-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | This is a partial revert of commit 9f075031a1973 ("Combine parse_target() and command_jump() implementations"): Upstream prefers to reduce max chain name length of arptables by two characters instead of the introduced struct xtables_globals field which requires to bump library API version.

* Combine parse_target() and command_jump() implementationsPhil Sutter2018-09-251-0/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Merge these two functions from xtables, iptables, ip6tables and arptables. Both functions were basically identical in the first three, only the last one required a bit more attention. To eliminate access to 'invflags' in variant-specific location, move the call to set_option() into callers. This is actually consistent with parsing of other options in them. As with command_match(), use xt_params instead of the different *_globals objects to refer to 'opts' and 'orig_opts'. It was necessary to rename parse_target() as it otherwise clashes with a static function of same name in libxt_SET. In arptables, the maximum allowed target name is a bit larger, so introduce xtables_globals.target_maxnamelen defining the value. It is used in the shared xt_parse_target() implementation. Implementation of command_jump() in arptables diverted from the others for no obvious reason. The call to parse_target() was done outside of it and a pointer to cs->arp was passed but not used inside. Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
* Combine command_match() implementationsPhil Sutter2018-09-251-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | This merges the basically identical implementations of command_match() from xtables, iptables and ip6tables into one.

* iptables: Use print_ifaces() from xtablesPhil Sutter2018-09-241-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | Move the function to xshared.c for common use between legacy and xtables sources. While being at it, silence a covscan warning triggered by that function as it couldn't verify input buffers won't exceed IFNAMSIZ. Therefore use snprintf() when writing to the local buffer.

* Share print_ipv{4,6}_addr() from xtablesPhil Sutter2018-09-241-0/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These functions contain code which occurs in legacy's print_firewall() functions, so use them there. Rename them to at least make clear they print more than a single address. Also introduce ipv{4,6}_addr_to_string() which take care of converting an address/netmask pair into string representation in a way which doesn't upset covscan (since that didn't detect that 'buf' may not be exceeded by the strings written into it.

* xshared: Consolidate argv construction routinesPhil Sutter2018-08-041-0/+123
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implementations were equal in {ip,ip6,x}tables-restore.c. The one in iptables-xml.c differed slightly. For now, collect all features together. Maybe it would make sense to migrate iptables-xml.c to using add_param_to_argv() at some point and therefore extend the latter to store whether a given parameter was quoted or not. While being at it, a few improvements were done: * free_argv() now also resets 'newargc' variable, so users don't have to do that anymore. * Indenting level in add_param_to_argv() was reduced a bit. * That long error message is put into a single line to aid in grepping for it. * Explicit call to exit() after xtables_error() is removed since the latter does not return anyway.

* iptables: insist that the lock is held.Lorenzo Colitti2017-05-291-3/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, iptables programs will exit with an error if the iptables lock cannot be acquired, but will silently continue if the lock cannot be opened at all. This can cause unexpected failures (with unhelpful error messages) in the presence of concurrent updates, which can be very difficult to find in a complex or multi-administrator system. Instead, refuse to do anything if the lock cannot be acquired. The behaviour is not affected by command-line flags because: 1. In order to reliably avoid concurrent modification, all invocations of iptables commands must follow this behaviour. 2. Whether or not the lock can be opened is typically not a run-time condition but is likely to be a configuration error. Existing systems that depended on things working mostly correctly even if there was no lock might be affected by this change. However, that is arguably a configuration error, and now that the iptables lock is configurable, it is trivial to provide a lock file that is always accessible: if nothing else, the iptables binary itself can be used. The lock does not have to be writable, only readable. Tested by configuring the system to use an xtables.lock file in a non-existent directory and observing that all commands failed.

* iptables-restore: support acquiring the lock.Lorenzo Colitti2017-03-211-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, ip[6]tables-restore does not perform any locking, so it is not safe to use concurrently with ip[6]tables. This patch makes ip[6]tables-restore wait for the lock if -w was specified. Arguments to -w and -W are supported in the same was as they are in ip[6]tables. The lock is not acquired on startup. Instead, it is acquired when a new table handle is created (on encountering '*') and released when the table is committed (COMMIT). This makes it possible to keep long-running iptables-restore processes in the background (for example, reading commands from a pipe opened by a system management daemon) and simultaneously run iptables commands. If -w is not specified, then the command proceeds without taking the lock. Tested as follows: 1. Run iptables-restore -w, and check that iptables commands work with or without -w. 2. Type "*filter" into the iptables-restore input. Verify that a) ip[6]tables commands without -w fail with "another app is currently holding the xtables lock...". b) ip[6]tables commands with "-w 2" fail after 2 seconds. c) ip[6]tables commands with "-w" hang until "COMMIT" is typed into the iptables-restore window. 3. With the lock held by an ip6tables-restore process: strace -e flock /tmp/iptables/sbin/iptables-restore -w 1 -W 100000 shows 11 calls to flock and fails. 4. Run an iptables-restore with -w and one without -w, and check: a) Type "*filter" in the first and then the second, and the second exits with an error. b) Type "*filter" in the second and "*filter" "-S" "COMMIT" into the first. The rules are listed only when the first copy sees "COMMIT".

* iptables: move XT_LOCK_NAME from CFLAGS to config.h.Lorenzo Colitti2017-03-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This slightly simplifies configure.ac and results in more correct dependencies.

* iptables: set the path of the lock file via a configure option.Lorenzo Colitti2017-03-141-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the iptables lock is hardcoded as "/run/xtables.lock". Allow users to change this path using the --with-xt-lock-name option to ./configure option. This is useful on systems like Android which do not have /run. Tested on Ubuntu, as follows: 1. By default, the lock is placed in /run/xtables.lock: $ make distclean-recursive && ./autogen.sh && ./configure --disable-nftables --prefix /tmp/iptables && make -j64 && make install && sudo strace -e open,flock /tmp/iptables/sbin/iptables -L foo ... open("/run/xtables.lock", O_RDONLY|O_CREAT, 0600) = 3 flock(3, LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB) = 0 iptables: No chain/target/match by that name. 2. Specifying the lock results in the expected location being used: $ make distclean-recursive && ./autogen.sh && \ ./configure --disable-nftables --prefix /tmp/iptables \ --with-xt-lock-name=/tmp/iptables/run/xtables.lock && make -j64 && make install && sudo strace -e open,flock /tmp/iptables/sbin/iptables -L foo ... open("/tmp/iptables/run/xtables.lock", O_RDONLY|O_CREAT, 0600) = 3 flock(3, LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB) = 0 iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.

* xshared: using the blocking file lock request when we wait indefinitelyLiping Zhang2017-02-281-11/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using "-w" to avoid concurrent instances, we try to do flock() every one second until it success. But one second maybe too long in some situations, and it's hard to select a suitable interval time. So when using "iptables -w" to wait indefinitely, it's better to block until it become success. Now do some performance tests. First, flush all the iptables rules in filter table, and run "iptables -w -S" endlessly: # iptables -F # iptables -X # while : ; do iptables -w -S >&- & done Second, after adding and deleting the iptables rules 100 times, measure the time cost: # time for i in $(seq 100); do iptables -w -A INPUT iptables -w -D INPUT done Before this patch: real 1m15.962s user 0m0.224s sys 0m1.475s Apply this patch: real 0m1.830s user 0m0.168s sys 0m1.130s Signed-off-by: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* xshared: do not lock again and again if "-w" option is not specifiedLiping Zhang2017-02-281-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After running the following commands, some confusing messages was printed out: # while : ; do iptables -A INPUT & iptables -D INPUT & done [...] Another app is currently holding the xtables lock; still -9s 0us time ahead to have a chance to grab the lock... Another app is currently holding the xtables lock; still -29s 0us time ahead to have a chance to grab the lock... If "-w" option is not specified, the "wait" will be zero, so we should check whether the timer_left is less than wait_interval before we call select to sleep.

* xtables: Add an interval option for xtables lock waitSubash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan2016-07-031-8/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ip[6]tables currently waits for 1 second for the xtables lock to be freed if the -w option is used. We have seen that the lock is held much less than that resulting in unnecessary delay when trying to acquire the lock. This problem is even severe in case of latency sensitive applications. Introduce a new option 'W' to specify the wait interval in microseconds. If this option is not specified, the command sleeps for 1 second by default. v1->v2: Change behavior to take millisecond sleep as an argument to -w as suggested by Pablo. Also maintain current behavior for -w to sleep for 1 second as mentioned by Liping. v2->v3: Move the millisecond behavior to a new option as suggested by Pablo. v3->v4: Use select instead of usleep. Sleep every iteration for the time specified in the "-W" argument. Update man page. v4->v5: Fix compilation error when enabling nftables v5->v6: Simplify -W so it only takes the interval wait in microseconds. Bail out if -W is specific but -w is not.

* iptables: add optional [seconds] argument to -wJiri Popelka2014-07-251-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an optional numeric argument to -w option (added with 93587a0) so one can specify how long to wait for an exclusive lock. If the value isn't specified it works as before, i.e. program waits indefinitely. If user specifies it, program exits after the given time interval passes. This patch also adds the -w/--wait to nftables compat code, so the parser doesn't complain.

* ip[6]tables: Add locking to prevent concurrent instancesPhil Oester2013-06-111-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There have been numerous complaints and bug reports over the years when admins attempt to run more than one instance of iptables simultaneously. Currently open bug reports which are related: 325: Parallel execution of the iptables is impossible 758: Retry iptables command on transient failure 764: Doing -Z twice in parallel breaks counters 822: iptables shows negative or other bad packet/byte counts As Patrick notes in 325: "Since this has been a problem people keep running into, I'd suggest to simply add some locking to iptables to catch the most common case." I started looking into alternatives to add locking, and of course the most common/obvious solution is to use a pidfile. But this has various downsides, such as if the application is terminated abnormally and the pidfile isn't cleaned up. And this also requires a writable filesystem. Using a UNIX domain socket file (e.g. in /var/run) has similar issues. Starting in 2.2, Linux added support for abstract sockets. These sockets require no filesystem, and automatically disappear once the application terminates. This is the locking solution I chose to implement in ip[6]tables. As an added bonus, since each network namespace has its own socket pool, an ip[6]tables instance running in one namespace will not lock out an ip[6]tables instance running in another namespace. A filesystem approach would have to recognize and handle multiple network namespaces. Signed-off-by: Phil Oester <kernel@linuxace.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
