netfilter: nf_tables: allow NFPROTO_INET in nft_(match/target)_validate()
[ Upstream commit 7e0f122c ] Commit d0009eff ("netfilter: nf_tables: validate NFPROTO_* family") added some validation of NFPROTO_* families in the nft_compat module, but it broke the ability to use legacy iptables modules in dual-stack nftables. While with legacy iptables one had to independently manage IPv4 and IPv6 tables, with nftables it is possible to have dual-stack tables sharing the rules. Moreover, it was possible to use rules based on legacy iptables match/target modules in dual-stack nftables. As an example, the program from [2] creates an INET dual-stack family table using an xt_bpf based rule, which looks like the following (the actual output was generated with a patched nft tool as the current nft tool does not parse dual stack tables with legacy match rules, so consider it for illustrative purposes only): table inet testfw { chain input { type filter hook prerouting priority filter; policy accept; bytecode counter packets 0 bytes 0 accept } } After d0009eff ("netfilter: nf_tables: validate NFPROTO_* family") we get EOPNOTSUPP for the above program. Fix this by allowing NFPROTO_INET for nft_(match/target)_validate(), but also restrict the functions to classic iptables hooks. Changes in v3: * clarify that upstream nft will not display such configuration properly and that the output was generated with a patched nft tool * remove example program from commit description and link to it instead * no code changes otherwise Changes in v2: * restrict nft_(match/target)_validate() to classic iptables hooks * rewrite example program to use unmodified libnftnl Fixes: d0009eff ("netfilter: nf_tables: validate NFPROTO_* family") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/Zc1PfoWN38UuFJRI@calendula/T/#mc947262582c90fec044c7a3398cc92fac7afea72 [1] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240220145509.53357-1-ignat@cloudflare.com/ [2] Reported-by: Jordan Griege <jgriege@cloudflare.com> Signed-off-by: Ignat Korchagin <ignat@cloudflare.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
