Instead of unconditionally removing all the TT entries
served by a given originator, make tt_global_orig_del()
remove only entries matching a given VLAN identifier
provided as argument.
If such argument is negative all the global entries
served by the originator are removed.
This change is used into the BLA code to purge entries
served by a newly discovered Backbone node, but limiting
the operation only to those connected to the VLAN where the
backbone has been discovered.

This change allows nodes to handle the TT table on a
per-VLAN basis. This is needed because nodes may have to
store only some of the global entries advertised by another
node.
In this scenario such nodes would re-create only a partial
global table and would not be able to compute a correct CRC
anymore.
This patch splits the logic and introduces one CRC per VLAN.
In this way a node fetching only some entries belonging to
some VLANs is still able to compute the needed CRCs and
still check the table correctness.
With this patch the shape of the TVLV-TT is changed too
because now a node needs to advertise all the CRCs of all
the VLANs that it is wired to.
The debug output of the local Translation Table now shows
the CRC along with each entry since there is not a common
value for the entire table anymore.

A TT response may be prepared and sent while the local or
global translation table is getting updated.
The worst case is when one of the tables is accessed after
its content has been recently updated but the metadata
(TTVN/CRC) has not yet. In this case the reader will get a
table content which does not match the TTVN/CRC.
This will lead to an inconsistent state and so to a TT
recovery.
To avoid entering this situation, put a lock around those TT
operations recomputing the metadata and around the TT
Response creation (the latter is the only reader that
accesses the metadata together with the table).

TIPC 'bearer' exists as an abstract concept, while 'media'
is deemed a specific implementation of a bearer, such as Ethernet
or Infiniband media. When a component inside TIPC wants to control
a specific media, it only needs to access the generic bearer API
to achieve this. However, in the current media implementations,
the 'bearer' name is also extensively used in media specific
function and variable names.
This may create confusion, so we choose to replace the term 'bearer'
with 'media' in all function names, variable names, and prefixes
where this is what really is meant.
Note that this change is cosmetic only, and no runtime behaviour

netfilter updates: nf_tables pull request
The following patchset contains the current original nf_tables tree
condensed in 17 patches. I have organized them by chronogical order
since the original nf_tables code was released in 2009 and by
dependencies between the different patches.
The patches are:
1) Adapt all existing hooks in the tree to pass hook ops to the
hook callback function, required by nf_tables, from Patrick McHardy.
2) Move alloc_null_binding to nf_nat_core, as it is now also needed by
nf_tables and ip_tables, original patch from Patrick McHardy but
required major changes to adapt it to the current tree that I made.
3) Add nf_tables core, including the netlink API, the packet filtering
engine, expressions and built-in tables, from Patrick McHardy. This
patch includes accumulated fixes since 2009 and minor enhancements.
The patch description contains a list of references to the original
patches for the record. For those that are not familiar to the
original work, see [1], [2] and [3].
4) Add netlink set API, this replaces the original set infrastructure
to introduce a netlink API to add/delete sets and to add/delete
set elements. This includes two set types: the hash and the rb-tree
sets (used for interval based matching). The main difference with
ipset is that this infrastructure is data type agnostic. Patch from
Patrick McHardy.
5) Allow expression operation overload, this API change allows us to
provide define expression subtypes depending on the configuration
that is received from user-space via Netlink. It is used by follow
up patches to provide optimized versions of the payload and cmp
expressions and the x_tables compatibility layer, from Patrick
McHardy.
6) Add optimized data comparison operation, it requires the previous
patch, from Patrick McHardy.
7) Add optimized payload implementation, it requires patch 5, from
Patrick McHardy.
8) Convert built-in tables to chain types. Each chain type have special
semantics (filter, route and nat) that are used by userspace to
configure the chain behaviour. The main chain regarding iptables
is that tables become containers of chain, with no specific semantics.
However, you may still configure your tables and chains to retain
iptables like semantics, patch from me.
9) Add compatibility layer for x_tables. This patch adds support to
use all existing x_tables extensions from nf_tables, this is used
to provide a userspace utility that accepts iptables syntax but
used internally the nf_tables kernel core. This patch includes
missing features in the nf_tables core such as the per-chain
stats, default chain policy and number of chain references, which
are required by the iptables compatibility userspace tool. Patch
from me.
10) Fix transport protocol matching, this fix is a side effect of the
x_tables compatibility layer, which now provides a pointer to the
transport header, from me.
11) Add support for dormant tables, this feature allows you to disable
all chains and rules that are contained in one table, from me.
12) Add IPv6 NAT support. At the time nf_tables was made, there was no
NAT IPv6 support yet, from Tomasz Bursztyka.
13) Complete net namespace support. This patch register the protocol
family per net namespace, so tables (thus, other objects contained
in tables such as sets, chains and rules) are only visible from the
corresponding net namespace, from me.
14) Add the insert operation to the nf_tables netlink API, this requires
adding a new position attribute that allow us to locate where in the
ruleset a rule needs to be inserted, from Eric Leblond.
15) Add rule batching support, including atomic rule-set updates by
using rule-set generations. This patch includes a change to nfnetlink
to include two new control messages to indicate the beginning and
the end of a batch. The end message is interpreted as the commit
message, if it's missing, then the rule-set updates contained in the
batch are aborted, from me.
16) Add trace support to the nf_tables packet filtering core, from me.
17) Add ARP filtering support, original patch from Patrick McHardy, but
adapted to fit into the chain type infrastructure. This was recovered
to be used by nft userspace tool and our compatibility arptables
userspace tool.
There is still work to do to fully replace x_tables [4] [5] but that can
be done incrementally by extending our netlink API. Moreover, looking at
netfilter-devel and the amount of contributions to nf_tables we've been
getting, I think it would be good to have it mainstream to avoid accumulating
large patchsets skip continuous rebases.
I tried to provide a reasonable patchset, we have more than 100 accumulated
patches in the original nf_tables tree, so I collapsed many of the small
fixes to the main patch we had since 2009 and provide a small batch for
review to netdev, while trying to retain part of the history.
For those who didn't give a try to nf_tables yet, there's a quick howto
available from Eric Leblond that describes how to get things working [6].
Comments/reviews welcome.
Thanks!

This patch adds a batch support to nfnetlink. Basically, it adds
two new control messages:
* NFNL_MSG_BATCH_BEGIN, that indicates the beginning of a batch,
the nfgenmsg->res_id indicates the nfnetlink subsystem ID.
* NFNL_MSG_BATCH_END, that results in the invocation of the
ss->commit callback function. If not specified or an error
ocurred in the batch, the ss->abort function is invoked
instead.
The end message represents the commit operation in nftables, the
lack of end message results in an abort. This patch also adds the
.call_batch function that is only called from the batch receival
path.
This patch adds atomic rule updates and dumps based on
bitmask generations. This allows to atomically commit a set of
rule-set updates incrementally without altering the internal
state of existing nf_tables expressions/matches/targets.
The idea consists of using a generation cursor of 1 bit and
a bitmask of 2 bits per rule. Assuming the gencursor is 0,
then the genmask (expressed as a bitmask) can be interpreted
as:
00 active in the present, will be active in the next generation.
01 inactive in the present, will be active in the next generation.
10 active in the present, will be deleted in the next generation.
^
gencursor
Once you invoke the transition to the next generation, the global
gencursor is updated:
00 active in the present, will be active in the next generation.
01 active in the present, needs to zero its future, it becomes 00.
10 inactive in the present, delete now.
^
gencursor
If a dump is in progress and nf_tables enters a new generation,
the dump will stop and return -EBUSY to let userspace know that
it has to retry again. In order to invalidate dumps, a global
genctr counter is increased everytime nf_tables enters a new
generation.
This new operation can be used from the user-space utility
that controls the firewall, eg.
nft -f restore
The rule updates contained in `file' will be applied atomically.
cat file
-----
add filter INPUT ip saddr 1.1.1.1 counter accept #1
del filter INPUT ip daddr 2.2.2.2 counter drop #2
-EOF-
Note that the rule 1 will be inactive until the transition to the
next generation, the rule 2 will be evicted in the next generation.
There is a penalty during the rule update due to the branch
misprediction in the packet matching framework. But that should be
quickly resolved once the iteration over the commit list that
contain rules that require updates is finished.
Event notification happens once the rule-set update has been
committed. So we skip notifications is case the rule-set update
is aborted, which can happen in case that the rule-set is tested
to apply correctly.

* nf_tables: atomic rule updates and dumps

This patch allows you to temporarily disable an entire table.
You can change the state of a dormant table via NFT_MSG_NEWTABLE
messages. Using this operation you can wake up a table, so their
chains are registered.
This provides atomicity at chain level. Thus, the rule-set of one
chain is applied at once, avoiding any possible intermediate state
in every chain. Still, the chains that belongs to a table are
registered consecutively. This also allows you to have inactive
tables in the kernel.

This patch adds the x_tables compatibility layer. This allows you
to use existing x_tables matches and targets from nf_tables.
This compatibility later allows us to use existing matches/targets
for features that are still missing in nf_tables. We can progressively
replace them with native nf_tables extensions. It also provides the
userspace compatibility software that allows you to express the
rule-set using the iptables syntax but using the nf_tables kernel
components.
In order to get this compatibility layer working, I've done the
following things:
* add NFNL_SUBSYS_NFT_COMPAT: this new nfnetlink subsystem is used
to query the x_tables match/target revision, so we don't need to
use the native x_table getsockopt interface.
* emulate xt structures: this required extending the struct nft_pktinfo
to include the fragment offset, which is already obtained from
ip[6]_tables and that is used by some matches/targets.
* add support for default policy to base chains, required to emulate
x_tables.
* add NFTA_CHAIN_USE attribute to obtain the number of references to
chains, required by x_tables emulation.
* add chain packet/byte counters using per-cpu.
* support 32-64 bits compat.
For historical reasons, this patch includes the following patches
that were posted in the netfilter-devel mailing list.
From Pablo Neira Ayuso:
* nf_tables: add default policy to base chains
* netfilter: nf_tables: add NFTA_CHAIN_USE attribute
* nf_tables: nft_compat: private data of target and matches in contiguous area
* nf_tables: validate hooks for compat match/target
* nf_tables: nft_compat: release cached matches/targets
* nf_tables: x_tables support as a compile time option

* nf_tables: add packet and byte counters per chain
* nf_tables: fix per-chain counter stats if no counters are passed
* nf_tables: don't bump chain stats

This patch converts built-in tables/chains to chain types that
allows you to deploy customized table and chain configurations from
userspace.
After this patch, you have to specify the chain type when
creating a new chain:
add chain ip filter output { type filter hook input priority 0; }
^^^^ ------
The existing chain types after this patch are: filter, route and
nat. Note that tables are just containers of chains with no specific
semantics, which is a significant change with regards to iptables.

Add an optimized payload expression implementation for small (up to 4 bytes)
aligned data loads from the linear packet area.
This patch also includes original Patrick McHardy's entitled (nf_tables:
inline nft_payload_fast_eval() into main evaluation loop).

Split the expression ops into two parts and support overloading of
the runtime expression ops based on the requested function through
a ->select_ops() callback.
This can be used to provide optimized implementations, for instance
for loading small aligned amounts of data from the packet or inlining
frequently used operations into the main evaluation loop.
