[PATCH iptables v2 0/8] extensions: libxt_NFLOG: use nft back-end for iptables-nft

[Jeremy Sowden]

nftables supports 128-character prefixes for nflog whereas legacy
iptables only supports 64 characters.  This patch series converts
iptables-nft to use the nft back-end in order to take advantage of the
longer prefixes.

  * Patches 1-5 implement the conversion and update some related Python
    unit-tests.
  * Patch 6 fixes an minor bug in the output of nflog prefixes.
  * Patch 7 contains a couple of libtool updates.
  * Patch 8 fixes some typo's.

Changes since v1:

  * Patches 1 and 5-8 are new.
  * White-space fixes in patches 2 and 3.
  * Fixes for typo's in commit-messages of patches 2 and 4.
  * Removal of stray `struct xt_nflog_info` allocation from
    `nft_parse_log` in patch 3.
  * Leave commented-out `--nflog-range` test-cases in libxt_NFLOG.t
    with an explanatory comment in patch 4.

[PATCH iptables v2 2/8] extensions: libxt_NFLOG: use nft built-in logging instead of xt_NFLOG

[Jeremy Sowden]

From: Kyle Bowman <kbowman@cloudflare.com>

Replaces the use of xt_NFLOG with the nft built-in log statement.

This additionally adds support for using longer log prefixes of 128
characters in size. Until now NFLOG has truncated the log-prefix to the
64-character limit supported by iptables-legacy. We now use the struct
xtables_target's udata member to store the longer 128-character prefix
supported by iptables-nft.

[PATCH iptables v2 3/8] extensions: libxt_NFLOG: don't truncate log prefix on print/save

[Jeremy Sowden]

From: Kyle Bowman <kbowman@cloudflare.com>

When parsing the rule, use a struct with a layout compatible to that of
struct xt_nflog_info, but with a buffer large enough to contain the
whole 128-character nft prefix.

We always send the nflog-group to the kernel since, for nft, log and
nflog targets are handled by the same kernel module, and are
distinguished by whether they define an nflog-group. Therefore, we must
send the group even if it is zero, or the kernel will configure the
target as a log, not an nflog.

Changes to nft_is_expr_compatible were made since only targets which
have an `nflog-group` are compatible. Since nflog targets are
distinguished by having an nflog-group, we ignore targets without one.

We also set the copy-len flag if the snap-len is set since without this,
iptables will mistake `nflog-size` for `nflog-range`.

[PATCH iptables v2 4/8] extensions: libxt_NFLOG: disable `--nflog-range` Python test-cases

[Jeremy Sowden]

From: Kyle Bowman <kbowman@cloudflare.com>

nft has no equivalent to `--nflog-range`, so we cannot emulate it and
the Python unit-tests for it fail.  However, since `--nflog-range` is
broken and doesn't do anything, the tests are not testing anything
useful.

[Jeremy Sowden]

The `iptables-save` includes an extra space between `--nflog-prefix` and
the prefix.

The maximum length of prefixes includes the trailing NUL character.

NFLOG silently truncates prefixes which exceed the maximum length.

I note that Florian merged the first patch in this series recently.
Feedback on the rest of it would be much appreciated.

Yes, because it was a cleanup not directly related to the rest.
I've now applied the last patch as well for the same reason.

> Feedback on the rest of it would be much appreciated.

THe patches look ok to me BUT there is the political issue
that we will now divert, afaict this means that you can now create
iptables-nft rulesets that won't ever work in iptables-legacy.

IMO its ok and preferrable to extending xt_(NF)LOG with a new revision,
but it does set some precedence, so I'm leaning towards just applying
the rest too.

Pablo, Phil, others -- what is your take?

I think the change is OK if existing rulesets will continue to
work just as before and remain compatible with legacy. IMHO, new
rulesets created using iptables-nft may become incompatible if users
explicitly ask for it (e.g. by specifying an exceedingly long log
prefix.

What about --nflog-range? This series seems to drop support for it, at
least in the sense that ruleset dumps won't contain the option. In
theory, users could depend on identifying a specific rule via nflog
range value.

Cheers, Phil

Indeed.  The original proposal from Cloudflare was to extend xt_NFLOG,
but Pablo requested that iptables-nft be modified instead.  Hence this
series.

Fair enough.  I'll add a check so that nft is not used for targets that
specify `--nflog-range`.

--nflog-range does work?

--nflog-size is used and can be mapped to 'snaplen' in nft_log.

Manpage also discourages the usage of --nflog-range for long time.

Not sure it is worth to add a different path for this case.

No.

Correct.

Yes, there have been warnings about `--nflog-range` since `--nflog-size`
was added in 2016.  I wasn't entirely happy dropping `--nflog-range`
support and introducing the divergence between -legacy and -nft as an
incidental side-effect, so when Phil brought it up, I had a look and it
turns out that the code to preserve support for it is quite small:

  --- a/iptables/nft.c
  +++ b/iptables/nft.c
  @@ -1366,6 +1366,12 @@ int add_log(struct nftnl_rule *r, struct iptables_command_state *cs)
          struct nftnl_expr *expr;
          struct xt_nflog_info *info = (struct xt_nflog_info *)cs->target->t->data;

  +       if (info->len && !(info->flags & XT_NFLOG_F_COPY_LEN))
  +               /*
  +                * nft doesn't support --nflog-range
  +                */

  +
          expr = nftnl_expr_alloc("log");
          if (!expr)
                  return -ENOMEM;

Perhaps, we could put this in now, add something to the release notes
for the next release formally deprecating `--nflog-range` and then
remove it altogether in the following release.

Or we could just apply the current patches if you're not that bothered.
:)
