* payload: explicit network ctx assignment for icmp/icmp6 in special familiesArturo Borrero Gonzalez2017-01-271-0/+8
In the inet, bridge and netdev families, we can add rules like these: % nft add rule inet t c ip protocol icmp icmp type echo-request % nft add rule inet t c ip6 nexthdr icmpv6 icmpv6 type echo-request However, when we print the ruleset: % nft list ruleset table inet t { chain c { icmpv6 type echo-request icmp type echo-request } } These rules we obtain can't be added again: % nft add rule inet t c icmp type echo-request <cmdline>:1:19-27: Error: conflicting protocols specified: inet-service vs. icmp add rule inet t c icmp type echo-request ^^^^^^^^^ % nft add rule inet t c icmpv6 type echo-request <cmdline>:1:19-29: Error: conflicting protocols specified: inet-service vs. icmpv6 add rule inet t c icmpv6 type echo-request ^^^^^^^^^^^ Since I wouldn't expect an IP packet carrying ICMPv6, or IPv6 packet carrying ICMP, if the link layer is inet, the network layer protocol context can be safely update to 'ip' or 'ip6'. Moreover, nft currently generates a 'meta nfproto ipvX' depedency when using icmp or icmp6 in the inet family, and similar in netdev and bridge families. While at it, a bit of code factorization is introduced.
