Subject: [iptables PATCH v2 3/3] iptables-save: Avoid /etc/protocols lookups
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2024 23:41:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240110224136.11211-4-phil@nwl.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240110224136.11211-1-phil@nwl.cc>
Instrument proto_to_name() to abort if given protocol number is not
among the well-known ones in xtables_chain_protos. Along with
xtables_parse_protocol() preferring said array for lookups as well, this
ensures reliable dump'n'restore regardless of /etc/protocols contents.
Another benefit is rule dump performance. A simple test-case dumping
100k rules matching on dccp protocol shows an 8s delta (2s vs. 10s for
legacy, 0.5s vs. 8s for nft) with this patch applied. For reference:
| for variant in nft legacy; do
| (
| echo "*filter"
| for ((i = 0; i < 100000; i++)); do
| echo "-A FORWARD -p dccp -j ACCEPT"
| done
| echo "COMMIT"
| ) | iptables-${variant}-restore
| time iptables-${variant}-save | wc -l
| iptables-${variant} -F
| done
