The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and
a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp
was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new
strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.

To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the
future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do
s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

960649d1923c31a7f771162fa0eef00210044262 23-Jun-2014 Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> netfilter: bridge: add generic packet logger

This adds the generic plain text packet loggger for bridged packets.
It routes the logging message to the real protocol packet logger.
I decided not to refactor the ebt_log code for two reasons:

1) The ebt_log output is not consistent with the IPv4 and IPv6
Netfilter packet loggers. The output is different for no good
reason and it adds redundant code to handle packet logging.

2) To avoid breaking backward compatibility for applications
outthere that are parsing the specific ebt_log output, the ebt_log
output has been left as is. So only nftables will use the new
consistent logging format for logged bridged packets.

More decisions coming in this patch:

1) This also removes ebt_log as default logger for bridged packets.
Thus, nf_log_packet() routes packet to this new packet logger
instead. This doesn't break backward compatibility since
nf_log_packet() is not used to log packets in plain text format
from anywhere in the ebtables/netfilter bridge code.

2) The new bridge packet logger also performs a lazy request to
register the real IPv4, ARP and IPv6 netfilter packet loggers.
If the real protocol logger is no available (not compiled or the
module is not available in the system, not packet logging happens.

fab4085f4e248b8a80bb1dadbbacb2bacd8017c3 18-Jun-2014 Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> netfilter: log: nf_log_packet() as real unified interface

Before this patch, the nf_loginfo parameter specified the logging
configuration in case the specified default logger was loaded. This
patch updates the semantics of the nf_loginfo parameter in
nf_log_packet() which now indicates the logger that you explicitly
want to use.

Thus, nf_log_packet() is exposed as an unified interface which
internally routes the log message to the corresponding logger type
by family.

The module dependencies are expressed by the new nf_logger_find_get()
and nf_logger_put() functions which bump the logger module refcount.
Thus, you can not remove logger modules that are used by rules anymore.

Another important effect of this change is that the family specific
module is only loaded when required. Therefore, xt_LOG and nft_log
will just trigger the autoload of the nf_log_{ip,ip6} modules
according to the family.

This patch moves Eric Dumazet's log buffer implementation from the
xt_log.h header file to the core net/netfilter/nf_log.c. This also
includes the renaming of the structure and functions to avoid possible
undesired namespace clashes.

This change allows us to use it from the arp and bridge packet logging
implementation in follow up patches.
5962815a6a56566318a60dc53ff8789b7e6ec71f 18-Jun-2014 Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> netfilter: nf_log: use an array of loggers instead of list

Now that legacy ulog targets are not available anymore in the tree, we
can have up to two possible loggers:

1) The plain text logging via kernel logging ring.
2) The nfnetlink_log infrastructure which delivers log messages
to userspace.

This patch replaces the list of loggers by an array of two pointers
per family for each possible logger and it also introduces a new field
to the nf_logger structure which indicates the position in the logger
array (based on the logger type).

This prepares a follow up patch that consolidates the nf_log_packet()
interface by allowing to specify the logger as parameter.

when callling log functions from conntrack both in and out
are NULL i.e. the net pointer is invalid.

Adding struct net *net in call to nf_logfn() will secure that
there always is a vaild net ptr.

This patch fixes the following compilation error:

if procfs is not set.

The netns support for nf_log, nfnetlink_log and nfnetlink_queue_core

case.

This patch adds netns support to nf_log and it prepares netns
support for existing loggers. It is composed of four major
changes.

1) nf_log_register has been split to two functions: nf_log_register
and nf_log_set. The new nf_log_register is used to globally
register the nf_logger and nf_log_set is used for enabling
pernet support from nf_loggers.

Per netns is not yet complete after this patch, it comes in
separate follow up patches.

2) Add net as a parameter of nf_log_bind_pf. Per netns is not
yet complete after this patch, it only allows to bind the
nf_logger to the protocol family from init_net and it skips
other cases.

3) Adapt all nf_log_packet callers to pass netns as parameter.
After this patch, this function only works for init_net.

4) Make the sysctl net/netfilter/nf_log pernet.

This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the

This is the same way we handle all of our other network interfaces to

commit ca735b3aaa945626ba65a3e51145bfe4ecd9e222
'netfilter: use a linked list of loggers'
introduced an array of list_head in "struct nf_logger", but
forgot to initialize it in nf_log_register(). This resulted
in oops when calling nf_log_unregister() at module unload time.

176252746ebbc8db97e304345af1f2563c7dc139 23-Mar-2009 Eric Leblond <eric@inl.fr> netfilter: sysctl support of logger choice

This patchs adds support of modification of the used logger via sysctl.
It can be used to change the logger to module that can not use the bind
operation (ipt_LOG and ipt_ULOG). For this purpose, it creates a
directory /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log which contains a file
per-protocol. The content of the file is the name current logger (NONE if
not set) and a logger can be setup by simply echoing its name to the file.
By echoing "NONE" to a /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/PROTO file, the
logger corresponding to this PROTO is set to NULL.

This patch modifies the proc output to add display of registered
loggers. The content of /proc/net/netfilter/nf_log is modified. Instead
of displaying a protocol per line with format:
proto:logger
it now displays:
proto:logger (comma_separated_list_of_loggers)
NONE is used as keyword if no logger is used.

This patch modifies nf_log to use a linked list of loggers for each
protocol. This list of loggers is read and write protected with a
mutex.

This patch separates registration and binding. To be used as
logging module, a module has to register calling nf_log_register()
and to bind to a protocol it has to call nf_log_bind_pf().
This patch also converts the logging modules to the new API. For nfnetlink_log,
it simply switchs call to register functions to call to bind function and
adds a call to nf_log_register() during init. For other modules, it just
remove a const flag from the logger structure and replace it with a
__read_mostly.

The netfilter subsystem only supports a handful of protocols (much
less than PF_*) and even non-PF protocols like ARP and
pseudo-protocols like PF_BRIDGE. By creating NFPROTO_*, we can earn a
few memory savings on arrays that previously were always PF_MAX-sized
and keep the pseudo-protocols to ourselves.

The message "nf_log_packet: can't log since no backend logging module loaded
in! Please either load one, or disable logging explicitly" was displayed for
each logged packet when no userspace application is listening to nflog events.
The message seems to warn for a problem with a kernel module missing but as
said before this is not the case. I thus propose to suppress the message (I
don't see any reason to flood the log because a user application has crashed.)
