List and reimport Ruleset fails with "Error: transport protocol mapping is only valid after transport protocol match"

List and reimport Ruleset fails with "Error: transport protocol mapping is only valid after transport protocol match"

[Henning Reich]

Hi,

maybe somebody can give me a hint.

I'm using some systemd-nspawn containers with exposed Port.
Systemd creates automatically some masquerading rules and all works fine.
But if I restart nft.service, these rules are gone (obviously). So I
want to store and re-import them.

so this
nft list table ip io.systemd.nat | tee systemd_nat_rules
shows me:

table ip io.systemd.nat {
       set masq_saddr {
               type ipv4_addr
               flags interval
               elements = { 192.168.162.112/28 }
       }

       map map_port_ipport {
               type inet_proto . inet_service : ipv4_addr . inet_service
               elements = { tcp . 8088 : 192.168.162.117 . 80 }
       }

       chain prerouting {
               type nat hook prerouting priority dstnat + 1; policy accept;
               fib daddr type local dnat ip addr . port to meta
l4proto . th dport map @map_port_ipport
       }

       chain output {
               type nat hook output priority -99; policy accept;
               ip daddr != 127.0.0.0/8 oif "lo" dnat ip addr . port to
meta l4proto . th dport map @map_port_ipport
       }

       chain postrouting {
               type nat hook postrouting priority srcnat + 1; policy accept;
               ip saddr @masq_saddr masquerade
       }
}


But trying to import it:

nft -c -f systemd_nat_rules
results in:
ruleset:9:48-59: Error: transport protocol mapping is only valid after
transport protocol match
               type inet_proto . inet_service : ipv4_addr . inet_service



I also tried to store and import the complete ruleset (nft list
ruleset), but with the same error.

Thanks for your help.

nft is too dumb and doesn't realize the protocol match is in the map
lookup.

I'll take a look.

[PATCH nft] evaluate: check if nat statement map specifies a transport header expr

[Florian Westphal]

Importing the systemd nat table fails:

table ip io.systemd.nat {
 map map_port_ipport {
   type inet_proto . inet_service : ipv4_addr . inet_service
   elements = { tcp . 8088 : 192.168.162.117 . 80 }
 }
 chain prerouting {
   type nat hook prerouting priority dstnat + 1; policy accept;
    fib daddr type local dnat ip addr . port to meta l4proto . th dport map @map_port_ipport
 }
}
ruleset:9:48-59: Error: transport protocol mapping is only valid after transport protocol match

To resolve this (no transport header base specified), check if the
map itself contains a network base protocol expression.

This allows nft to import the ruleset.
Import still fails with same error if 'inet_service' is removed
from the map, as it should.
