2022-03-20netfilter: nft_fib: add reduce supportFlorian Westphal1-0/+1
The fib expression stores to a register, so we can't add empty stub. Check that the register that is being written is in fact redundant. In most cases, this is expected to cancel tracking as re-use is unlikely. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2020-06-25netfilter: Add MODULE_DESCRIPTION entries to kernel modulesRob Gill1-0/+1
The user tool modinfo is used to get information on kernel modules, including a description where it is available. This patch adds a brief MODULE_DESCRIPTION to netfilter kernel modules (descriptions taken from Kconfig file or code comments) Signed-off-by: Rob Gill <rrobgill@protonmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2019-09-03netfilter: nft_fib_netdev: Terminate rule eval if protocol=IPv6 and ipv6 module is disabledLeonardo Bras1-0/+3
If IPv6 is disabled on boot (ipv6.disable=1), but nft_fib_inet ends up dealing with a IPv6 packet, it causes a kernel panic in fib6_node_lookup_1(), crashing in bad_page_fault. The panic is caused by trying to deference a very low address (0x38 in ppc64le), due to ipv6.fib6_main_tbl = NULL. BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x00000038 The kernel panic was reproduced in a host that disabled IPv6 on boot and have to process guest packets (coming from a bridge) using it's ip6tables. Terminate rule evaluation when packet protocol is IPv6 but the ipv6 module is not loaded.

2017-07-31netfilter: nf_tables: add fib expression to the netdev familyPablo M. Bermudo Garay1-0/+87
Add fib expression support for netdev family. Like inet family, netdev delegates the actual decision to the corresponding backend, either ipv4 or ipv6. This allows to perform very early reverse path filtering, among other things. You can find more information about fib expression in the f6d0cbcf09c5 ("<netfilter: nf_tables: add fib expression>") commit message. Signed-off-by: Pablo M.
