2010-03-25netfilter: xtables: slightly better error reportingJan Engelhardt1-1/+1
When extended status codes are available, such as ENOMEM on failed allocations, or subsequent functions (e.g. nf_ct_get_l3proto), passing them up to userspace seems like a good idea compared to just always EINVAL. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
2010-03-25netfilter: xtables: change matches to return error codeJan Engelhardt1-3/+3
The following semantic patch does part of the transformation: // <smpl> @ rule1 @ struct xt_match ops; identifier check; @@ ops.checkentry = check; @@ identifier rule1.check; @@ check(...) { <... -return true; +return 0; ...> } @@ identifier rule1.check; @@ check(...) { <... -return false; +return -EINVAL; ...> } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
2010-03-25netfilter: xtables: change xt_match.checkentry return typeJan Engelhardt1-1/+1
Restore function signatures from bool to int so that we can report memory allocation failures or similar using -ENOMEM rather than always having to pass -EINVAL back. This semantic patch may not be too precise (checking for functions that use xt_mtchk_param rather than functions referenced by xt_match.checkentry), but reviewed, it produced the intended result. // <smpl> @@ type bool; identifier check, par; @@ -bool check +int check (struct xt_mtchk_param *par) { ... } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
2010-03-18netfilter: xtables: do not print any messages on ENOMEMJan Engelhardt1-3/+1
ENOMEM is a very obvious error code (cf. EINVAL), so I think we do not really need a warning message. Not to mention that if the allocation fails, the user is most likely going to get a stack trace from slab already. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
2009-03-16netfilter: xtables: avoid pointer to selfJan Engelhardt1-5/+23
Commit 784544739a25c30637397ace5489eeb6e15d7d49 (netfilter: iptables: lock free counters) broke a number of modules whose rule data referenced itself. A reallocation would not reestablish the correct references, so it is best to use a separate struct that does not fall under RCU.

2008-10-08netfilter: xtables: move extension arguments into compound structure (1/6)Jan Engelhardt1-5/+2
The function signatures for Xtables extensions have grown over time. It involves a lot of typing/replication, and also a bit of stack space even if they are not used. Realize an NFWS2008 idea and pack them into structs. The skb remains outside of the struct so gcc can continue to apply its optimizations. This patch does this for match extensions' match functions. A few ambiguities have also been addressed. The "offset" parameter for example has been renamed to "fragoff" (there are so many different offsets already) and "protoff" to "thoff" (there is more than just one protocol here, so clarify).

2008-10-08netfilter: implement NFPROTO_UNSPEC as a wildcard for extensionsJan Engelhardt1-21/+10
When a match or target is looked up using xt_find_{match,target}, Xtables will also search the NFPROTO_UNSPEC module list. This allows for protocol-independent extensions (like xt_time) to be reused from other components (e.g. arptables, ebtables). Extensions that take different codepaths depending on match->family or target->family of course cannot use NFPROTO_UNSPEC within the registration structure (e.g. xt_pkttype).
