[ Upstream commit 7e0f122c65912740327e4c54472acaa5f85868cb ]
Commit d0009effa886 ("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 d0009effa886 ("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
