* meta: add l4proto supportPatrick McHardy2014-01-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | Add support for the meta l4proto type. This is used in the inet table to match on the transport layer protocol without requiring the network layer protocol to be known, allowing to use transport header matches that apply to both IPv4 and IPv6.

* meta: add nfproto supportPatrick McHardy2014-01-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | Add support for the meta nfproto type, which refers to the AF from the netfilter hook ops. This is needed to get the actual family of a packet in the dummy NFPROTO_INET family. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
* proto: add support for meta templatesPatrick McHardy2014-01-081-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | The following two patches will add two new meta expression types that are used as dependencies in the inet table. To reuse the existing dependency generation code, add a slightly hackish way to specify meta expressions as payload dependencies. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
* proto: add helper function to update protocol contextPatrick McHardy2014-01-081-0/+3
| | | | | | Add a helper function which is to be used to update the protocol update. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <ksber@trash.net<
* nftables: generic procotol contextsPatrick McHardy2014-01-081-0/+287
Currently the context of higher layer protocols is specific to payload expressions with some special cases for meta IIFTYPE expressions. This approach has a few shortcomings, concretely there are more expression types which define upper layer protocols like the ct expression and two upcoming new types for the meta expression. Replace the payload context by a generic protocol context to deal with this. This patch just splits off the requires parts from the payload expression without any functional changes, the following patches will add further functionality for other expressions.
