- Add support for dynamic NETMAP algorithm (stateful net-to-net).
- Add most of the support for the dynamic NAT rules; a little bit more
userland work is needed to finish this up and enable.
- Replace 'stateful-ends' with more permissive 'stateful-all'.
- Add various tunable parameters and document them, see npf-params(7).
- Reduce the memory usage of the connection state table (conndb).
- Portmap rewrite: use memory more efficiently, handle addresses dynamically.
- Bug fix: add splsoftnet()/splx() around the thmap writers and comment.
- npftest: clean up and simplify; fix some memleaks to make ASAN happy.
1. npf unit tests. In this case only the npf subsystem is created
and dictionaries are passed directly.
2. kernel system tests (like the ipsec natt test). In this case, npf is
instantiated regularly as part of the kernel and dictionaries are
passed via ioctl.
We differentiate between the two cases by checking the "mbufops" member
which is NULL, regularly and non-NULL in the npf unit tests. Previously
this was done using an ifdef which obviously can't work for both cases.
- This conversion significantly simplifies the code and moves NPF to
a binary serialisation format (replacing the XML-like format).
- Fix some memory/reference leaks and possibly use-after-free bugs.
- Bump NPF_VERSION as this change makes libnpf incompatible with the
previous versions. Also, different serialisation format means NPF
connection/config saving and loading is not compatible with the
previous versions either.
Thanks to christos@ for extra testing.
- Separate the tracking interface from the storage (state table)
and thus prepare to use a new data structure for the storage.
- Fix some race conditions in NAT association logic.
- Implement dynamic NPF rules. Controlled through npf(3) library of via
npfctl rule command. A rule can be removed using a unique identifier,
returned on addition, or using a key which is SHA1 hash of the rule.
Adjust npftest and add a regression test.
- Improvements to rule inspection mechanism.
- Initial BPF support as an alternative to n-code.
- Minor fixes; bump the version.
by npfctl debug functionality. Auto-create npftest interfaces for this.
- NPF sessions: combine protocol and interface into a separate substructure,
share between the entries and thus fix the handling of them. Constify.
- npftest: add regression tests for NAT policies.
- npf_build_nat: simplify and fix bi-NAT regression.
- Bump yacc stack size for npfctl.
- Add NPF_OPCODE_PROTO to match the address and/or protocol only.
- Update parser to support arbitrary "pass proto <name/number>".
- Fix IPv6 address and protocol handling (add a regression test).
- Fix few theorethical races in session handling module.
- Misc fixes, simplifications and some clean up.
- Rename some functions for consistency and de-inline them.
- Fix few invalid asserts (add regressoin test).
- Use pserialize(9) for ALG interface.
- Minor fixes, sprinkle many comments.
- Add the concept of rule procedure: separate normalization, logging and
potentially other functions from the rule structure. Rule procedure can be
shared amongst the rules. Separation is both at kernel level (npf_rproc_t)
and configuration ("procedure" + "apply").
- Fix portmap sharing for NAT policy.
- Update TCP state tracking logic. Use TCP FSM definitions.
- Add if_byindex(), OK by matt@. Use in logging for the lookup.
- Fix traceroute ALG and many other bugs; misc clean-up.
- Add support for session saving/restoring.
- Add packet logging support (can tcpdump a pseudo-interface).
- Support reload without flushing of sessions; rework some locking.
- Revisit session mangement, replace linking with npf_sentry_t entries.
- Add some counters for statistics, using percpu(9).
- Add IP_DF flag cleansing.
- Fix various bugs; misc clean-up.
- Add proper TCP state tracking as described in Guido van Rooij paper,
plus handle TCP Window Scaling option.
- Completely rework npf_cache_t, reduce granularity, simplify code.
- Add npf_addr_t as an abstraction, amend session handling code, as well
as NAT code et al, to use it. Now design is prepared for IPv6 support.
- Handle IPv4 fragments i.e. perform packet reassembly.
- Add support for IPv4 ID randomization and minimum TTL enforcement.
- Add support for TCP MSS "clamping".
- Random bits for IPv6. Various fixes and clean-up.
