2016-08-18netfilter: nfnetlink_acct: report overquota to the right netnsLiping Zhang
We should report the over quota message to the right net namespace instead of the init netns. Signed-off-by: Liping Zhang <liping.zhang@spreadtrum.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2015-08-07netfilter: nfacct: per network namespace supportAndreas Schultz
- Move the nfnl_acct_list into the network namespace, initialize and destroy it per namespace - Keep track of refcnt on nfacct objects, the old logic does not longer work with a per namespace list - Adjust xt_nfacct to pass the namespace when registring objects Signed-off-by: Andreas Schultz <aschultz@tpip.net> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2014-04-29netfilter: nfnetlink_acct: Adding quota support to accounting frameworkMathieu Poirier
nfacct objects already support accounting at the byte and packet level. As such it is a natural extension to add the possiblity to define a ceiling limit for both metrics. All the support for quotas itself is added to nfnetlink acctounting framework to stay coherent with current accounting object management. Quota limit checks are implemented in xt_nfacct filter where statistic collection is already done. Pablo Neira Ayuso has also contributed to this feature.

2013-09-26netfilter: Remove extern from function prototypesJoe Perches
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

2011-12-25netfilter: add extended accounting infrastructure over nfnetlinkPablo Neira Ayuso
We currently have two ways to account traffic in netfilter: - iptables chain and rule counters: # iptables -L -n -v Chain INPUT (policy DROP 3 packets, 867 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 8 1104 ACCEPT all -- lo * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 - use flow-based accounting provided by ctnetlink: # conntrack -L tcp 6 431999 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.1.130 dst=212.106.219.168 sport=58152 dport=80 packets=47 bytes=7654 src=212.106.219.168 dst=192.168.1.130 sport=80 dport=58152 packets=49 bytes=66340 [ASSURED] mark=0 use=1 While trying to display real-time accounting statistics, we require to pool the kernel periodically to obtain this information. This is OK if the number of flows is relatively low. However, in case that the number of flows is huge, we can spend a considerable amount of cycles to iterate over the list of flows that have been obtained. Moreover, if we want to obtain the sum of the flow accounting results that match some criteria, we have to iterate over the whole list of existing flows, look for matchings and update the counters. This patch adds the extended accounting infrastructure for nfnetlink which aims to allow displaying real-time traffic accounting without the need of complicated and resource-consuming implementation in user-space. Basically, this new infrastructure allows you to create accounting objects. One accounting object is composed of packet and byte counters. In order to manipulate create accounting objects, you require the new libnetfilter_acct library. It contains several examples of use: libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-add http-traffic libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-get http-traffic = { pkts = 000000000000, bytes = 000000000000 }; Then, you can use one of this accounting objects in several iptables rules using the new nfacct match (which comes in a follow-up patch): # iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic # iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic The idea is simple: if one packet matches the rule, the nfacct match updates the counters. Thanks to Patrick McHardy, Eric Dumazet, Changli Gao for reviewing and providing feedback for this contribution. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
