* netfilter: nf_tables: upfront validation of data via nft_data_init()Pablo Neira Ayuso2022-08-091-24/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of parsing the data and then validate that type and length are correct, pass a description of the expected data so it can be validated upfront before parsing it to bail out earlier. This patch adds a new .size field to specify the maximum size of the data area. The .len field is optional and it is used as an input/output field, it provides the specific length of the expected data in the input path. If then .len field is not specified, then obtained length from the netlink attribute is stored. This is required by cmp, bitwise, range and immediate, which provide no netlink attribute that describes the data length. The immediate expression uses the destination register type to infer the expected data type. Relying on opencoded validation of the expected data might lead to subtle bugs as described in 7e6bc1f6cabc ("netfilter: nf_tables: stricter validation of element data").

* netfilter: nftables_offload: build mask based from the matching bytesPablo Neira Ayuso2020-11-271-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Userspace might match on prefix bytes of header fields if they are on the byte boundary, this requires that the mask is adjusted accordingly. Use NFT_OFFLOAD_MATCH_EXACT() for meta since prefix byte matching is not allowed for this type of selector. The bitwise expression might be optimized out by userspace, hence the kernel needs to infer the prefix from the number of payload bytes to match on. This patch adds nft_payload_offload_mask() to calculate the bitmask to match on the prefix.

* netfilter: nf_tables: add hardware offload supportPablo Neira Ayuso2019-07-091-0/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds hardware offload support for nftables through the existing netdev_ops->ndo_setup_tc() interface, the TC_SETUP_CLSFLOWER classifier and the flow rule API. This hardware offload support is available for the NFPROTO_NETDEV family and the ingress hook. Each nftables expression has a new ->offload interface, that is used to populate the flow rule object that is attached to the transaction object. There is a new per-table NFT_TABLE_F_HW flag, that is set on to offload an entire table, including all of its chains. This patch supports for basic metadata (layer 3 and 4 protocol numbers), 5-tuple payload matching and the accept/drop actions; this also includes basechain hardware offload only.

* netfilter: nf_tables: revisit chain/object refcounting from elementsPablo Neira Ayuso2017-05-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andreas reports that the following incremental update using our commit protocol doesn't work. # nft -f incremental-update.nft delete element ip filter client_to_any { 10.180.86.22 : goto CIn_1 } delete chain ip filter CIn_1 ... Error: Could not process rule: Device or resource busy The existing code is not well-integrated into the commit phase protocol, since element deletions do not result in refcount decrement from the preparation phase. This results in bogus EBUSY errors like the one above. Two new functions come with this patch: * nft_set_elem_activate() function is used from the abort path, to restore the set element refcounting on objects that occurred from the preparation phase. * nft_set_elem_deactivate() that is called from nft_del_setelem() to decrement set element refcounting on objects from the preparation phase in the commit protocol. The nft_data_uninit() has been renamed to nft_data_release() since this function does not uninitialize any data store in the data register, instead just releases the references to objects. Moreover, a new function nft_data_hold() has been introduced to be used from nft_set_elem_activate().

* netfilter: nf_tables: simplify the basic expressions' init routineLiping Zhang2016-11-091-12/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some basic expressions are built into nf_tables.ko, such as nft_cmp, nft_lookup, nft_range and so on. But these basic expressions' init routine is a little ugly, too many goto errX labels, and we forget to call nft_range_module_exit in the exit routine, although it is harmless. Acctually, the init and exit routines of these basic expressions are same, i.e. do nft_register_expr in the init routine and do nft_unregister_expr in the exit routine. So it's better to arrange them into an array and deal with them together. Signed-off-by: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netfilter: nf_tables: remove useless U8_MAX validationLiping Zhang2016-11-011-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After call nft_data_init, size is already validated and desc.len will not exceed the sizeof(struct nft_data), i.e. 16 bytes. So it will never exceed U8_MAX. Furthermore, in nft_immediate_init, we forget to call nft_data_uninit when desc.len exceeds U8_MAX, although this will not happen, but it's a logical mistake.

* netfilter: nf_tables: fix nft_cmp_fast failure on big endian for size < 4Patrick McHardy2014-04-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nft_cmp_fast is used for equality comparisions of size <= 4. For comparisions of size < 4 byte a mask is calculated that is applied to both the data from userspace (during initialization) and the register value (during runtime). Both values are stored using (in effect) memcpy to a memory area that is then interpreted as u32 by nft_cmp_fast. This works fine on little endian since smaller types have the same base address, however on big endian this is not true and the smaller types are interpreted as a big number with trailing zero bytes. The mask therefore must not include the lower bytes, but the higher bytes on big endian. Add a helper function that does a cpu_to_le32 to switch the bytes on big endian. Since we're dealing with a mask of just consequitive bits, this works out fine. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* netfilter: nf_tables: add compatibility layer for x_tablesPablo Neira Ayuso2013-10-141-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the x_tables compatibility layer. This allows you to use existing x_tables matches and targets from nf_tables. This compatibility later allows us to use existing matches/targets for features that are still missing in nf_tables. We can progressively replace them with native nf_tables extensions. It also provides the userspace compatibility software that allows you to express the rule-set using the iptables syntax but using the nf_tables kernel components. In order to get this compatibility layer working, I've done the following things: * add NFNL_SUBSYS_NFT_COMPAT: this new nfnetlink subsystem is used to query the x_tables match/target revision, so we don't need to use the native x_table getsockopt interface. * emulate xt structures: this required extending the struct nft_pktinfo to include the fragment offset, which is already obtained from ip[6]_tables and that is used by some matches/targets. * add support for default policy to base chains, required to emulate x_tables. * add NFTA_CHAIN_USE attribute to obtain the number of references to chains, required by x_tables emulation. * add chain packet/byte counters using per-cpu. * support 32-64 bits compat. For historical reasons, this patch includes the following patches that were posted in the netfilter-devel mailing list. From Pablo Neira Ayuso: * nf_tables: add default policy to base chains * netfilter: nf_tables: add NFTA_CHAIN_USE attribute * nf_tables: nft_compat: private data of target and matches in contiguous area * nf_tables: validate hooks for compat match/target * nf_tables: nft_compat: release cached matches/targets * nf_tables: x_tables support as a compile time option * nf_tables: fix alias for xtables over nftables module * nf_tables: add packet and byte counters per chain * nf_tables: fix per-chain counter stats if no counters are passed * nf_tables: don't bump chain stats * nf_tables: add protocol and flags for xtables over nf_tables * nf_tables: add ip[6]t_entry emulation * nf_tables: move specific layer 3 compat code to nf_tables_ipv[4|6] * nf_tables: support 32bits-64bits x_tables compat * nf_tables: fix compilation if CONFIG_COMPAT is disabled From Patrick McHardy: * nf_tables: move policy to struct nft_base_chain * nf_tables: send notifications for base chain policy changes From Alexander Primak: * nf_tables: remove the duplicate NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT From Nicolas Dichtel: * nf_tables: fix compilation when nf-netlink is a module Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

* netfilter: add nftablesPatrick McHardy2013-10-141-0/+146
This patch adds nftables which is the intended successor of iptables. This packet filtering framework reuses the existing netfilter hooks, the connection tracking system, the NAT subsystem, the transparent proxying engine, the logging infrastructure and the userspace packet queueing facilities. In a nutshell, nftables provides a pseudo-state machine with 4 general purpose registers of 128 bits and 1 specific purpose register to store verdicts. This pseudo-machine comes with an extensible instruction set, a.k.a. "expressions" in the nftables jargon. The expressions included in this patch provide the basic functionality, they are: * bitwise: to perform bitwise operations. * byteorder: to change from host/network endianess. * cmp: to compare data with the content of the registers. * counter: to enable counters on rules. * ct: to store conntrack keys into register. * exthdr: to match IPv6 extension headers. * immediate: to load data into registers. * limit: to limit matching based on packet rate. * log: to log packets. * meta: to match metainformation that usually comes with the skbuff. * nat: to perform Network Address Translation. * payload: to fetch data from the packet payload and store it into registers. * reject (IPv4 only): to explicitly close connection, eg. TCP RST. Using this instruction-set, the userspace utility 'nft' can transform the rules expressed in human-readable text representation (using a new syntax, inspired by tcpdump) to nftables bytecode. nftables also inherits the table, chain and rule objects from iptables, but in a more configurable way, and it also includes the original datatype-agnostic set infrastructure with mapping support. This set infrastructure is enhanced in the follow up patch (netfilter: nf_tables: add netlink set API). This patch includes the following components: * the netlink API: net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c and include/uapi/netfilter/nf_tables.h * the packet filter core: net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c * the expressions (described above): net/netfilter/nft_*.c * the filter tables: arp, IPv4, IPv6 and bridge: net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv4.c net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv6.c net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_tables_arp.c net/bridge/netfilter/nf_tables_bridge.c * the NAT table (IPv4 only): net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_table_nat_ipv4.c * the route table (similar to mangle): net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_table_route_ipv4.c net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_table_route_ipv6.c * internal definitions under: include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h include/net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.h * It also includes an skeleton expression: net/netfilter/nft_expr_template.c and the preliminary implementation of the meta target net/netfilter/nft_meta_target.c It also includes a change in struct nf_hook_ops to add a new pointer to store private data to the hook, that is used to store the rule list per chain. This patch is based on the patch from Patrick McHardy, plus merged accumulated cleanups, fixes and small enhancements to the nftables code that has been done since 2009, which are: From Patrick McHardy: * nf_tables: adjust netlink handler function signatures * nf_tables: only retry table lookup after successful table module load * nf_tables: fix event notification echo and avoid unnecessary messages * nft_ct: add l3proto support * nf_tables: pass expression context to nft_validate_data_load() * nf_tables: remove redundant definition * nft_ct: fix maxattr initialization * nf_tables: fix invalid event type in nf_tables_getrule() * nf_tables: simplify nft_data_init() usage * nf_tables: build in more core modules * nf_tables: fix double lookup expression unregistation * nf_tables: move expression initialization to nf_tables_core.c * nf_tables: build in payload module * nf_tables: use NFPROTO constants * nf_tables: rename pid variables to portid * nf_tables: save 48 bits per rule * nf_tables: introduce chain rename * nf_tables: check for duplicate names on chain rename * nf_tables: remove ability to specify handles for new rules * nf_tables: return error for rule change request * nf_tables: return error for NLM_F_REPLACE without rule handle * nf_tables: include NLM_F_APPEND/NLM_F_REPLACE flags in rule notification * nf_tables: fix NLM_F_MULTI usage in netlink notifications * nf_tables: include NLM_F_APPEND in rule dumps From Pablo Neira Ayuso: * nf_tables: fix stack overflow in nf_tables_newrule * nf_tables: nft_ct: fix compilation warning * nf_tables: nft_ct: fix crash with invalid packets * nft_log: group and qthreshold are 2^16 * nf_tables: nft_meta: fix socket uid,gid handling * nft_counter: allow to restore counters * nf_tables: fix module autoload * nf_tables: allow to remove all rules placed in one chain * nf_tables: use 64-bits rule handle instead of 16-bits * nf_tables: fix chain after rule deletion * nf_tables: improve deletion performance * nf_tables: add missing code in route chain type * nf_tables: rise maximum number of expressions from 12 to 128 * nf_tables: don't delete table if in use * nf_tables: fix basechain release From Tomasz Bursztyka: * nf_tables: Add support for changing users chain's name * nf_tables: Change chain's name to be fixed sized * nf_tables: Add support for replacing a rule by another one * nf_tables: Update uapi nftables netlink header documentation From Florian Westphal: * nft_log: group is u16, snaplen u32 From Phil Oester: * nf_tables: operational limit match Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
