This patch fixes a syntax error after loading a nft
dump with a set including stateful ct connlimit elements.
Having a nft dump as per below:
table ip nftlb {
set connlimit-set {
type ipv4_addr
size 65535
flags dynamic
elements = { 84.245.120.167 ct count over 20 , 86.111.207.45 ct count over 20 ,
173.212.220.26 ct count over 20 , 200.153.13.235 ct count over 20 }
}
}
The syntax error is shown when loading the ruleset.
root# nft -f connlimit.nft
connlimit.nft:15997:31-32: Error: syntax error, unexpected ct, expecting comma or '}'
elements = { 84.245.120.167 ct count over 20 , 86.111.207.45 ct count over 20 ,
^^
connlimit.nft:16000:9-22: Error: syntax error, unexpected string
173.212.220.26 ct count over 20 , 200.153.13.235 ct count over 20 }
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After applying this patch a kernel panic is raised running
nft_rhash_gc() although no packet reaches the set.
The following patch [0] should be used as well:
4d8f9065830e5 ("netfilter: nftables: clone set element expression template")
Note that the kernel patch will produce the emptying of the
connection tracking, so the restore of the conntrack states
should be considered.
