for planned nft backend we have three choices:
- open/close a new nfnetlink socket for every operation
- keep a nfnetlink socket open internally
- expose a opaque fw_ctx and stash all internal data here.
Originally I opted for the 2nd option, but during review it was
suggested to avoid static storage duration because of perceived
problems with threaded applications.
This adds fw_ctx and new/free functions, then converts the existing api
and nspawn and networkd to use it.
Make sure we don't add masquerading rules without a explicitly
specified network range we should be masquerading for.
The only caller aside from test case is
networkd-address.c which never passes a NULL source.
As it also passes the network prefix, that should always be > 0 as well.
This causes expected test failure:
Failed to modify firewall: Invalid argument
Failed to modify firewall: Invalid argument
Failed to modify firewall: Invalid argument
Failed to modify firewall: Protocol not available
Failed to modify firewall: Protocol not available
Failed to modify firewall: Protocol not available
Failed to modify firewall: Protocol not available
The failing test cases are amended to expect failure on
NULL source or prefix instead of success.
Similar to the previous commit. All callers pass NULL. This will
ease initial nftables backend implementation (less features to cover).
Add the function parameters as local variables and let compiler
remove branches. Followup patch can remove the if (NULL) conditionals.
All users pass a NULL/0 for those, things haven't changed since 2015
when this was added originally, so remove the arguments.
THe paramters are re-added as local function variables, initalised
to NULL or 0. A followup patch can then manually remove all
if (NULL) rather than leaving dead-branch optimization to compiler.
Reason for not doing it here is to ease patch review.
Not requiring support for this will ease initial nftables backend
implementation.
In case a use-case comues up later this feature can be re-added.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
