* src: add debugging mask to context structurePablo Neira Ayuso2017-08-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | So this toggle is not global anymore. Update name that fits better with the semantics of this variable. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: add struct mnl_ctxPablo Neira Ayuso2017-08-231-1/+5
| | | | | | This new structure contains the netlink socket and the sequence number. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: mnl: Remove unused functions.Varsha Rao2017-08-171-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Functions mnl_nft_chain_get(), mnl_nft_rule_add(), mnl_nft_rule_delete(), mnl_nft_set_get(), mnl_nft_table_get(), set_get_cb(), table_get_cb() and chain_get_cb() are only defined but not used, so remove them.

* src: make netlink sequence number non-staticPablo Neira Ayuso2017-08-151-33/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | Place sequence number that is allocated per-command on the struct netlink_ctx structure. This is allocated from nft_run() to correlate commands with netlink messages for error reporting. Batch support probing also shares this sequence numbers with commands. There is an inpendent cache sequence number though, this routine is called from a different path, usually from the evaluation phase. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* mnl: Consolidate mnl_batch_talk() parametersPhil Sutter2017-08-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | The single caller of this function passes struct netlink_ctx fields as the first two parameters. This can be simplified by passing the context object itself and having mnl_batch_talk() access it's fields instead.

* include: Pass nf_sock where needed as parameterPablo Neira Ayuso2017-07-171-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | This socket should not be global, it is also hidden in many layers of code. Expose it as function parameters to decouple the netlink socket handling logic from the command parsing, evaluation and bytecode generation. Joint work with Varsha Rao.

* src: remove global nftnl_batch structure in mnl layerPablo Neira Ayuso2017-05-291-26/+27
| | | | | | | | The underlying mnl layer uses a global nftnl_batch structure. Instead, pass pointer as parameter to the functions that need this. The netlink layer stores a reference to this structure in struct netlink_ctx. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: Allow reset single stateful objectElise Lennion2017-01-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the stateful objects can only be reseted in groups. With this patch reseting a single object is allowed: $ nft reset counter filter https-traffic table ip filter { counter https-traffic { packets 8774 bytes 542668 } } $ nft list counter filter https-traffic table ip filter { counter https-traffic { packets 0 bytes 0 } } Heavily based on work from Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>.

* src: reset internal stateful objectsPablo Neira Ayuso2017-01-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows you to atomically dump and reset stateful objects, eg. # nft list counters table ip filter { counter test { packets 1024 bytes 100000 } } # nft reset quotas table filter counter test { packets 1024 bytes 100000 } # nft reset quotas table filter counter test { packets 0 bytes 0 } Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: add/create/delete stateful objectsPablo Neira Ayuso2017-01-031-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows you to add and to delete objects, eg. # nft add quota filter test 1234567 bytes # nft list quotas table ip filter { quota test { 1234567 bytes } } # nft delete quota filter test Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows you to dump existing stateful objects, eg. # nft list ruleset table ip filter { counter test { packets 64 bytes 1268 } quota test { over 1 mbytes used 1268 bytes } chain input { type filter hook input priority 0; policy accept; quota name test drop counter name test } } # nft list quotas table ip filter { quota test { over 1 mbytes used 1268 bytes } } # nft list counters table ip filter { counter test { packets 64 bytes 1268 } } Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* mnl: add mnl_nft_setelem_batch_flush() and use it from netlink_flush_setelems()Pablo Neira Ayuso2016-12-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8bd99f2fca7e ("mnl: don't send empty set elements netlink message to kernel") broke set flush because we still need to send the netlink message with no elements to flush sets. To avoid more whack-a-mole games, add a new explicit function mnl_nft_setelem_batch_flush() that is used to request a set flush, instead of reusing the one that allows us to explicitly delete given set elements.

* src: Add command "replace" for rulesCarlos Falgueras García2015-11-021-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify the parser and add necessary functions to provide the command "nft replace rule <ruleid_spec> <new_rule>" Example of use: # nft list ruleset -a table ip filter { chain output { ip daddr 8.8.8.7 counter packets 0 bytes 0 # handle 3 } } # nft replace rule filter output handle 3 ip daddr 8.8.8.8 counter # nft list ruleset -a table ip filter { chain output { ip daddr 8.8.8.8 counter packets 0 bytes 0 # handle 3 } } Signed-off-by: Carlos Falgueras García <carlosfg@riseup.net> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: use new symbols in libnftnlPablo Neira Ayuso2015-09-161-29/+29
| | | | | | | | | Adapt the nftables code to use the new symbols in libnftnl. This patch contains quite some renaming to reserve the nft_ prefix for our high level library. Explicitly request libnftnl 1.0.5 at configure stage. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* mnl: delete useless parameter nf_sock in batch functionsArturo Borrero2014-10-241-8/+8
| | | | | | | The 'struct mnl_socket *nf_sock' parameter is useless and perturbing. Signed-off-by: Arturo Borrero Gonzalez <arturo.borrero.glez@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* mnl: consistency checks across several netlink dumpsPablo Neira Ayuso2014-09-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Obtain the generation ID before dumping the object lists. Then, check for generation ID updates when dumping the several lists that this needs. In case of interference, nft has to remove the stale objects and retry from scratch. This is complementary to the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag which is local to one single netlink dump.

* 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>
