From 7059ce31266f364e3091b6a71179d7ac68cdb851 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2019 16:56:44 +0200 Subject: netfilter: nf_tables: allow lookups in dynamic sets [ Upstream commit acab713177377d9e0889c46bac7ff0cfb9a90c4d ] This un-breaks lookups in sets that have the 'dynamic' flag set. Given this active example configuration: table filter { set set1 { type ipv4_addr size 64 flags dynamic,timeout timeout 1m } chain input { type filter hook input priority 0; policy accept; } } ... this works: nft add rule ip filter input add @set1 { ip saddr } -> whenever rule is triggered, the source ip address is inserted into the set (if it did not exist). This won't work: nft add rule ip filter input ip saddr @set1 counter Error: Could not process rule: Operation not supported In other words, we can add entries to the set, but then can't make matching decision based on that set. That is just wrong -- all set backends support lookups (else they would not be very useful). The failure comes from an explicit rejection in nft_lookup.c. Looking at the history, it seems like NFT_SET_EVAL used to mean 'set contains expressions' (aka. "is a meter"), for instance something like nft add rule ip filter input meter example { ip saddr limit rate 10/second } or nft add rule ip filter input meter example { ip saddr counter } The actual meaning of NFT_SET_EVAL however, is 'set can be updated from the packet path'. 'meters' and packet-path insertions into sets, such as 'add @set { ip saddr }' use exactly the same kernel code (nft_dynset.c) and thus require a set backend that provides the ->update() function. The only set that provides this also is the only one that has the NFT_SET_EVAL feature flag. Removing the wrong check makes the above example work. While at it, also fix the flag check during set instantiation to allow supported combinations only.
