[PATCH nf-next 0/5] netfilter: nft: introduce routing expression

["Anders K. Pedersen | Cohaesio" <akp@cohaesio.com>]

This patch series introduces an nftables rt expression for routing related
data with support for nexthop (i.e. the directly connected IP address that
an outgoing packet is sent to), which can be used either for matching or
accounting, eg.

 # nft add rule filter postrouting \
        ip daddr 192.168.1.0/24 rt ip nexthop != 192.168.0.1 drop

This will drop any traffic to 192.168.1.0/24 that is not routed via
192.168.0.1.

 # nft add rule filter postrouting \
        flow table acct { rt ip nexthop timeout 600s counter }
 # nft add rule ip6 filter postrouting \
        flow table acct { rt ip6 nexthop6 timeout 600s counter }

These rules count outgoing traffic per nexthop. Note that the timeout
releases an entry if no traffic is seen for this nexthop within 10 minutes.

 # nft add rule inet filter postrouting \
        ether type ip \
        flow table acct { rt ip nexthop timeout 600s counter }
 # nft add rule inet filter postrouting \
        ether type ip6 \
        flow table acct { rt ip6 nexthop6 timeout 600s counter }

Same as above, but via the inet family, where the ether type must be
specified explicitly.

"rt classid" is also implemented identical to "meta rtclassid", since it
is more logical to have this match in the routing expression going forward.

Anders K. Pedersen
