uapi: stop including linux/sysctl.h in uapi/linux/netfilter.h

2017-02-23T20:51:39Z

linux/netfilter.h is the last uapi header file that includes linux/sysctl.h but it does not depend on definitions provided by this essentially dead header file. Suggested-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: Dmitry V. Levin Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: deprecate NF_STOP

2016-11-03T09:56:17Z

NF_STOP is only used by br_netfilter these days, and it can be emulated with a combination of NF_STOLEN plus explicit call to the ->okfn() function as Florian suggests. To retain binary compatibility with userspace nf_queue application, we have to keep NF_STOP around, so libnetfilter_queue userspace userspace applications still work if they use NF_STOP for some exotic reason. Out of tree modules using NF_STOP would break, but we don't care about those. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: don't pull include/linux/netfilter.h from netns headers

2015-06-18T19:14:31Z

This pulls the full hook netfilter definitions from all those that include net_namespace.h. Instead let's just include the bare minimum required in the new linux/netfilter_defs.h file, and use it from the netfilter netns header files. I also needed to include in.h and in6.h from linux/netfilter.h otherwise we hit this compilation error: In file included from include/linux/netfilter_defs.h:4:0, from include/net/netns/netfilter.h:4, from include/net/net_namespace.h:22, from include/linux/netdevice.h:43, from net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue_core.c:23: include/uapi/linux/netfilter.h:76:17: error: field ‘in’ has incomplete type struct in_addr in; And also explicit include linux/netfilter.h in several spots.

netfilter: add netfilter ingress hook after handle_ing() under unique static key

2015-05-14T05:10:05Z

This patch adds the Netfilter ingress hook just after the existing tc ingress hook, that seems to be the consensus solution for this. Note that the Netfilter hook resides under the global static key that enables ingress filtering. Nonetheless, Netfilter still also has its own static key for minimal impact on the existing handle_ing(). * Without this patch: Result: OK: 6216490(c6216338+d152) usec, 100000000 (60byte,0frags) 16086246pps 7721Mb/sec (7721398080bps) errors: 100000000 42.46% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core 25.92% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kfree_skb 7.81% kpktgend_0 [pktgen] [k] pktgen_thread_worker 5.62% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ip_rcv 2.70% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] netif_receive_skb_internal 2.34% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] netif_receive_skb_sk 1.44% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __build_skb * With this patch: Result: OK: 6214833(c6214731+d101) usec, 100000000 (60byte,0frags) 16090536pps 7723Mb/sec (7723457280bps) errors: 100000000 41.23% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core 26.57% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kfree_skb 7.72% kpktgend_0 [pktgen] [k] pktgen_thread_worker 5.55% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ip_rcv 2.78% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] netif_receive_skb_internal 2.06% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] netif_receive_skb_sk 1.43% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __build_skb * Without this patch + tc ingress: tc filter add dev eth4 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 \ u32 match ip dst 4.3.2.1/32 Result: OK: 9269001(c9268821+d179) usec, 100000000 (60byte,0frags) 10788648pps 5178Mb/sec (5178551040bps) errors: 100000000 40.99% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core 17.50% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kfree_skb 11.77% kpktgend_0 [cls_u32] [k] u32_classify 5.62% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] tc_classify_compat 5.18% kpktgend_0 [pktgen] [k] pktgen_thread_worker 3.23% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] tc_classify 2.97% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ip_rcv 1.83% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] netif_receive_skb_internal 1.50% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] netif_receive_skb_sk 0.99% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __build_skb * With this patch + tc ingress: tc filter add dev eth4 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 \ u32 match ip dst 4.3.2.1/32 Result: OK: 9308218(c9308091+d126) usec, 100000000 (60byte,0frags) 10743194pps 5156Mb/sec (5156733120bps) errors: 100000000 42.01% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core 17.78% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kfree_skb 11.70% kpktgend_0 [cls_u32] [k] u32_classify 5.46% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] tc_classify_compat 5.16% kpktgend_0 [pktgen] [k] pktgen_thread_worker 2.98% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ip_rcv 2.84% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] tc_classify 1.96% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] netif_receive_skb_internal 1.57% kpktgend_0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] netif_receive_skb_sk Note that the results are very similar before and after. I can see gcc gets the code under the ingress static key out of the hot path. Then, on that cold branch, it generates the code to accomodate the netfilter ingress static key. My explanation for this is that this reduces the pressure on the instruction cache for non-users as the new code is out of the hot path, and it comes with minimal impact for tc ingress users.

netfilter: nf_tables: add "inet" table for IPv4/IPv6

2014-01-07T22:57:25Z

This patch adds a new table family and a new filter chain that you can use to attach IPv4 and IPv6 rules. This should help to simplify rule-set maintainance in dual-stack setups. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso
