2021-10-15netfilter: Introduce egress hookLukas Wunner1-0/+1
Support classifying packets with netfilter on egress to satisfy user requirements such as: * outbound security policies for containers (Laura) * filtering and mangling intra-node Direct Server Return (DSR) traffic on a load balancer (Laura) * filtering locally generated traffic coming in through AF_PACKET, such as local ARP traffic generated for clustering purposes or DHCP (Laura; the AF_PACKET plumbing is contained in a follow-up commit) * L2 filtering from ingress and egress for AVB (Audio Video Bridging) and gPTP with nftables (Pablo) * in the future: in-kernel NAT64/NAT46 (Pablo) The egress hook introduced herein complements the ingress hook added by commit e687ad60af09 ("netfilter: add netfilter ingress hook after handle_ing() under unique static key"). A patch for nftables to hook up egress rules from user space has been submitted separately, so users may immediately take advantage of the feature. Alternatively or in addition to netfilter, packets can be classified with traffic control (tc). On ingress, packets are classified first by tc, then by netfilter. On egress, the order is reversed for symmetry. Conceptually, tc and netfilter can be thought of as layers, with netfilter layered above tc. Traffic control is capable of redirecting packets to another interface (man 8 tc-mirred). E.g., an ingress packet may be redirected from the host namespace to a container via a veth connection: tc ingress (host) -> tc egress (veth host) -> tc ingress (veth container) In this case, netfilter egress classifying is not performed when leaving the host namespace! That's because the packet is still on the tc layer. If tc redirects the packet to a physical interface in the host namespace such that it leaves the system, the packet is never subjected to netfilter egress classifying. That is only logical since it hasn't passed through netfilter ingress classifying either. Packets can alternatively be redirected at the netfilter layer using nft fwd. Such a packet *is* subjected to netfilter egress classifying since it has reached the netfilter layer. Internally, the skb->nf_skip_egress flag controls whether netfilter is invoked on egress by __dev_queue_xmit(). Because __dev_queue_xmit() may be called recursively by tunnel drivers such as vxlan, the flag is reverted to false after sch_handle_egress(). This ensures that netfilter is applied both on the overlay and underlying network. Interaction between tc and netfilter is possible by setting and querying skb->mark. If netfilter egress classifying is not enabled on any interface, it is patched out of the data path by way of a static_key and doesn't make a performance difference that is discernible from noise: Before: 1537 1538 1538 1537 1538 1537 Mb/sec After: 1536 1534 1539 1539 1539 1540 Mb/sec Before + tc accept: 1418 1418 1418 1419 1419 1418 Mb/sec After + tc accept: 1419 1424 1418 1419 1422 1420 Mb/sec Before + tc drop: 1620 1619 1619 1619 1620 1620 Mb/sec After + tc drop: 1616 1624 1625 1624 1622 1619 Mb/sec When netfilter egress classifying is enabled on at least one interface, a minimal performance penalty is incurred for every egress packet, even if the interface it's transmitted over doesn't have any netfilter egress rules configured. That is caused by checking dev->nf_hooks_egress against NULL. Measurements were performed on a Core i7-3615QM.

2020-10-12netfilter: add inet ingress supportPablo Neira Ayuso1-0/+1
This patch adds the NF_INET_INGRESS pseudohook for the NFPROTO_INET family. This is a mapping this new hook to the existing NFPROTO_NETDEV and NF_NETDEV_INGRESS hook. The hook does not guarantee that packets are inet only, users must filter out non-ip traffic explicitly. This infrastructure makes it easier to support this new hook in nf_tables.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no ↵Greg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
license Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

2016-11-03netfilter: deprecate NF_STOPPablo Neira Ayuso1-1/+1
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 <pablo@netfilter.org>
2015-06-18netfilter: don't pull include/linux/netfilter.h from netns headersPablo Neira Ayuso1-1/+2
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.

2015-05-14netfilter: add netfilter ingress hook after handle_ing() under unique static keyPablo Neira1-0/+6
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.
