* Eliminate struct mnl_ctxPhil Sutter2017-11-161-139/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The issue leading to this patch was that debug output in nft_mnl_talk() bypasses the application-defined output_fp. While investigating, another problem was discovered: Most of the ad-hoc defined mnl_ctx objects have their field 'debug_mask' set to zero regardless of what netlink_ctx contains (this affects non-batch code path only). The intuitive solution to both of those issues required to extend function parameters of all the non-batch functions as well as the common nft_mnl_talk() one. Instead of complicating them even further, this patch instead makes them accept a pointer to netlink_ctx as first parameter to gather both the old (nf_sock, seqnum) and the new values (debug_mask, octx) from. Since after the above change struct mnl_ctx was not really used anymore, so the remaining places were adjusted as well to allow for removing the struct altogether. Note that cache routines needed special treatment: Although parameters of cache_update() make it a candidate for the same change, it can't be converted since it is called in evaluation phase sometimes in which there is no netlink context available (but just eval context instead). Since netlink_genid_get() needs a netlink context though, the ad-hoc netlink_ctx definition from cache_init() is moved into cache_update() to have it available there already.

* libnftables: Get rid of explicit cache flushesPhil Sutter2017-10-261-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the past, CLI as a potentially long running process had to make sure it kept it's cache up to date with kernel's rule set. A simple test case is this: | shell a | shell b | | # nft -i | # nft add table ip t | | | nft> list ruleset | | table ip t { | | } | # nft flush ruleset | | | nft> list ruleset | | nft> In order to make sure interactive CLI wouldn't incorrectly list the table again in the second 'list' command, it immediately flushed it's cache after every command execution. This patch eliminates the need for that by making cache updates depend on kernel's generation ID: A cache update stores the current rule set's ID in struct nft_cache, consecutive calls to cache_update() compare that stored value to the current generation ID received from kernel - if the stored value is zero (i.e. no previous cache update did happen) or if it doesn't match the kernel's value (i.e. cache is outdated) the cache is flushed and fully initialized again.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of lots of ifdef DEBUG pollution in the code. The --debug= option is useful to get feedback from users, so it should be always there. And we really save nothing from keeping this code away from the control plane with a compile time option. Just running tests/shell/ before and after this patch, time shows almost no difference. So this patch leaves --enable-debug around to add debugging symbols in your builds, this is left set on by default. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | Place sequence number that is allocated per-command on the struct netlink_ctx structure.

* mnl: Drop --echo support for non-batch callsPhil Sutter2017-08-151-22/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Echo support in nft_mnl_talk() was broken: nft_mnl_talk_cb() passed cbdata->data as second parameter to netlink_echo_callback() which expected it to be of type struct netlink_ctx while in fact it was whatever callers of nft_mnl_talk() passed as callback data (in most cases a NULL pointer). I didn't notice this because I didn't test for kernels without support for transactions. This has been added to nftables in kernel version 3.16 back in 2014. Since then, user space which doesn't support it can't even add a table anymore. So adding this new feature to the old code path is really not feasible, therefore drop this broken attempt at supporting it.

* Implement --echo optionPhil Sutter2017-08-141-2/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When used with add, insert or replace commands, nft tool will print event notifications just like 'nft monitor' does for the same commands. Apart from seeing what a given command will turn out in the rule set, this allows to reliably retrieve a new rule's assigned handle (if used together with --handle option). Here are some examples of how it works: | # nft --echo --handle add table ip t | add table ip t | | # nft --echo --handle add chain ip t c \ | '{ type filter hook forward priority 0; }' | add chain ip t c { type filter hook forward priority 0; policy accept; } | | # nft --echo --handle add rule ip t c tcp dport '{22, 80}' accept | add rule ip t c tcp dport { ssh, http } accept # handle 2 | | # nft --echo --handle add set ip t ipset '{ type ipv4_addr; \ | elements = { 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2 }; }' | add set ip t ipset { type ipv4_addr; } | add element ip t ipset { 192.168.0.1 } | add element ip t ipset { 192.168.0.2 } Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nft crashes when adding many elements into a set for two reasons: 1) The overflow of the nla_len field for the NFTA_SET_ELEM_LIST_ELEMENTS attribute. 2) Out-of-bound memory writes to the reserved area for the netlink message, which is solved by the patch entitled ("mnl: introduce NFT_NLMSG_MAXSIZE"). This patch adds the corresponding nla_len overflow check for NFTA_SET_ELEM_LIST_ELEMENTS and it splits the elements in several netlink messages. This should be enough when set updates are handled by the transaction infrastructure. With this patch, nft should be now capable of adding an unlimited number of elements to a given set.

* mnl: introduce NFT_NLMSG_MAXSIZEPablo Neira Ayuso2014-07-251-5/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The NFT_NLMSG_MAXSIZE constant defines the maximum nf_tables netlink message. Currently, the largest is the set element message, which contains the NFTA_SET_ELEM_LIST_ELEMENTS attribute. This attribute is a nest that describes the set elements. Given that the netlink attribute length (nla_len) is 16 bits, the largest message is a bit larger than 64 KBytes. Thus, the proposed value of NFT_NLMSG_MAXSIZE is set to (1 << 16) + getpagesize(). This new constant is used to calculate the length of: 1) the batch page length, when the batching mode is used. 2) the buffer that stores the netlink message in the send (when no batching is used) and receive paths.

* src: rework batching logic to fix possible use of uninitialized pagesPablo Neira Ayuso2014-07-221-36/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reworks the batching logic in several aspects: 1) New batch pages are now always added into the batch page list in first place. Then, in the send path, if the last batch page is empty, it is removed from the batch list. 2) nft_batch_page_add() is only called if the current batch page is full. Therefore, it is guaranteed to find a valid netlink message in the batch page when moving the tail that didn't fit into a new batch page. 3) The batch paging is initialized and released from the nft_netlink() path. 4) No more global struct mnl_nlmsg_batch *batch that points to the current batch page. Instead, it is retrieved from the tail of the batch list, which indicates the current batch page. This patch fixes a crash due to access of uninitialized memory area in due to calling batch_page_add() with an empty batch in the send path, and the memleak of the batch page contents. Reported in: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/367085/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/367774/ The patch is larger, but this saves the zeroing of the batch page area.
