Conntrack dump does not support kernel side filtering (only get exists, but it returns only one entry. And user has to give a full valid tuple) It means that userspace has to implement filtering after receiving many irrelevant entries, consuming resources (conntrack table is sometimes very huge, much more than a routing table for example). This patch adds filtering in kernel side. To achieve this goal, we: * Add a new CTA_FILTER netlink attributes, actually a flag list to parametize filtering * Convert some *nlattr_to_tuple() functions, to allow a partial parsing of CTA_TUPLE_ORIG and CTA_TUPLE_REPLY (so nf_conntrack_tuple it not fully set) Filtering is now possible on: * IP SRC/DST values * Ports for TCP and UDP flows * IMCP(v6) codes types and IDs Filtering is done as an "AND" operator. For example, when flags PROTO_SRC_PORT, PROTO_NUM and IP_SRC are sets, only entries matching all values are dumped. Changes since v1: Set NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED in nlm flags if entries are filtered Changes since v2: Move several constants to nf_internals.h Move a fix on netlink values check in a separate patch Add a check on not-supported flags Return EOPNOTSUPP if CDA_FILTER is set in ctnetlink_flush_conntrack (not yet implemented) Code style issues Changes since v3: Fix compilation warning reported by kbuild test robot Changes since v4: Fix a regression introduced in v3 (returned EINVAL for valid netlink messages without CTA_MARK) Changes since v5: Change definition of CTA_FILTER_F_ALL Fix a regression when CTA_TUPLE_ZONE is not set Signed-off-by: Romain Bellan <romain.bellan@wifirst.fr> Signed-off-by: Florent Fourcot <florent.fourcot@wifirst.fr> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
