pfil pfil_head_register pfil_head_unregister pfil_head_get pfil_hook_get pfil_add_hook pfil_remove_hook pfil_run_hooks - packet filter interface
Packet filtering points are registered with
pfil_head_register (.);
Filtering points are identified by a key
(Vt void *
)
and a data link type
(Vt int
)
in the
Vt pfil_head
structure.
Packet filters use the key and data link type to look up the filtering
point with which they register themselves.
The key is unique to the filtering point.
The data link type is a
bpf(4)
DLT constant indicating what kind of header is present on the packet
at the filtering point.
Filtering points may be unregistered with the
pfil_head_unregister ();
function.
Packet filters register/unregister themselves with a filtering point
with the
pfil_add_hook ();
and
pfil_remove_hook ();
functions, respectively.
The head is looked up using the
pfil_head_get ();
function, which takes the key and data link type that the packet filter
expects.
Filters may provide an argument to be passed to the filter when
invoked on a packet.
When a filter is invoked, the packet appears just as if it ``came off the wire'' That is, all protocol fields are in network byte order. The filter is called with its specified argument, the pointer to the pointer to the Vt mbuf containing the packet, the pointer to the network interface that the packet is traversing, and the direction ( PFIL_IN or PFIL_OUT that the packet is traveling. The filter may change which mbuf the Vt mbuf ** argument references. The filter returns an error (errno) if the packet processing is to stop, or 0 if the processing is to continue. If the packet processing is to stop, it is the responsibility of the filter to free the packet.
The
pfil_head_unregister ();
function
might sleep!
The
interface was changed in 1.4T to accept a 3rd parameter to both
pfil_add_hook ();
and
pfil_remove_hook (,);
introducing the capability of per-protocol filtering.
This was done primarily in order to support filtering of IPv6.
In 1.5K, the framework was changed to work with an arbitrary number of filtering points, as well as be less IP-centric.
Fine-grained locking was added in Fx 5.2 .
Fx implements only hooks for AF_INET and AF_INET6 Packets diverted through these hooks have data in host byte order contrary to the above statements.
The if_bridge4 diverts AF_INET and AF_INET6 traffic according to its sysctl settings, but contrary to the above statements, the data is provided in host byte order.
When a
Vt pfil_head
is being modified, no traffic is diverted
(to avoid deadlock).
This means that traffic may be dropped unconditionally for a short period
of time.
pfil_run_hooks ();
will return
Er ENOBUFS
to indicate this.
