[PATCH] arp_filter patch for 2.4.4 kernel.

[PATCH] arp_filter patch for 2.4.4 kernel.

[Ben Greear]

This patch is ported from Andi Kleen's work for the 2.2.19 kernel (I think
it was his, at least...)

It adds the ability to run multiple interfaces on the same subnet,
on the same machine, and have the ARPs for each interface be answered
based on whether or not the kernel would route a packet from the ARP'd
IP out that interface.  When used with source-based routing, this
makes things work in an intuitive manner.

I find this a vital feature for one of my projects, and would welcome
it's inclusion into the 2.4 kernel series!

The code seems to be working on my two test machines..

Thanks,
Ben

How difficult is it to compose netfilter rules that do this?

what's the performance impact of doing that?

i've got multiple ip networks on the same gigabit link...  i'm pretty
happy with this tiny patch i've posted before, which is not on any
critical path (it's in the ARP code after all).

p.s. that should have read "on the same gigabit switch".

This along with some other issues are why Alexey and myself want to
do ARP filter in some other way.

There are two sides to this story though, both with valid arguments.

Ho hum... since things have settled down in the networking and this
is being pushed again, I guess it's time to fire up the dialogue
once more.

Usually it makes sense, because it increases your chances of successfull
communication. IP addresses are owned by the complete host on Linux, not by 
different interfaces.

For some weirder setups (most of them just caused by incorrect routing
tables, but also a few legimitate ones; including incoming load balancing
via multipath routes) it causes problems, so arpfilter was invented to 
sync ARP replies with the routing tables as needed.

ARP filter has nothing to do with forwarding.

There is magic ARP proxying if linux knows the answer to an ARP request
on a different interface, but it's a completely independent thing.

this is one of those things that is still hurting Linux's credibility in the
read world.  people see this kind of obviously broken behavior, and install 
*BSD or Solaris instead.

isn't this clearly a case of the kernel being too smart: making it impossible
for a clueful admin to do what he needs?  multi-nic machines are now quite
common, but this "feature" makes them far less useful, since the stack is 
violating the admin's intention.

there's NOTHING weird about a machine having two nics and two IPs,
wanting to behave like two hosts.

is there any positive/beneficial reason for the current behavior?

No idea, haven't tried to use netfilter.  With this patch, though,
it's as easy as:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter


I have a setup that should be able to test some netfilter rules
if have some you want me to try....

Thanks,
Ben

I'd be interested in seeing netfilter rules or a new netfilter
kernel module which would do arpfilter as well.

Would requiring netfilter to be used slow down the fast path
for packets in any way?  The current arp-filter code will not,
as far as I can tell, and if the netfilter overhead is significant,
that may be a good reason to accept the patch, or the alternative
one proposed a few mails back...

I don't think it's a good idea. You either need a lot of hooks in the
arp input path for all the different cases or you would need to replicate
a lot of the arp.c logic into that netfilter module. Both not good.
IMHO it's better to just control replies via the routing table,
which already has all kinds of fancy mechanisms for it. In addition I haven't
seen a setup yet that couldn't be handled by arpfilter and the routing
table, it seems to be flexible enough for all practical purposes.

of course.

the problem is, that netfilter hooks are currently only in the IPv4
and IPv6 packet paths. as ARP is not an IPv4 protocol, but another
protocol residing at layer 3, the arp code bypasses all netfilter hooks,
and is - as a result - not handled by any IP tables.

If you would want to do it using netfilter (the hooks only) and a hook-
attaching module, you need to add ARP netfilter hooks first.

If you want to filter arp packets, you need the netfilter hooks in the ARP
code, as well as a new 'arptables' module and a userspace tool allowing
modification of those arp tables.

So I see no clean solution for using netfilter in this case. It's one
of the scenario where netfilter/iptables layer-three-protocol boundness
hurts.

I want this feature precisely /because/ it interferes with
packet filtering.

I sleep better knowing that my packet filters are bound to
specific interfaces (with default DENY everywhere).  I like
to know that I can ssh in via the second card on my DB
servers, without worrying about them accepting other traffic
(or performance-vital traffic going over a cheap backup
card).

It looks like several people, including me, like this patch,
or at least a similar patch.  This patch would also add a feature
to the 2.4 series that is missing, with regard to the 2.2.19
kernel.  If it was good enough for 2.2.19, shouldn't it be good
enough for 2.4?

If anyone has any particular gripes about the patch, lets
see if we can work them out instead of just letting the topic
drown silently in the flood of LK.

I'm re-attaching the patch in case that helps.....

Re: [PATCH] arp_filter patch for 2.4.4 kernel.

Actually, by itself, this is a bogus argument.  Many things in
2.2.x have been explicitly removed in 2.4.x :-)

Regardless, the arp filter in some form will be added.  Don't
