iptables CLASSIFY and MARK not working?

I have to match my packets based on MAC address, which I cannot do in
the POSTROUTING chain, so I do it in PREROUTING using MARK. Then, I
match on the MARK in the POSTROUTING chain to do a CLASSIFY. But this
does not seem to work:

wireless-r1 bwlimit # iptables -L -v -n -t mangle

In the iptables rules, you''ll see that the bulk of the traffic
I''m
sending through is getting marked with 0x2f (47 decimal). In the
POSTROUTING chain, it is being classified as 47:1. In fact, nothing at
all is getting classified as 49:1. But, in the TC class and qdisc
displays, everything is coming up under the 49:1 instead of the 47:1.
What happened? Either I have some weird typo I''m not seeing, or this is
just not working the way I''m expecting it to. Anyone have any thoughts
on this?

Thanks.

Re: iptables CLASSIFY and MARK not working?

Have you checked that the ip_conntrack module is loaded or compiled into 
the kernel?
If not the mark is lost...

I doubt that''s the issue.  I do however recall there being issues with
using iptables classify to targets that were more than 1 level deep in
the tc qdisc hierarchy.  In such situations it works much better if
you instead use a tc filter on the mark instead of an iptables
classify. Is there any particular reason you''re using classify on a
mark instead of a tc filter on the mark?

RE: iptables CLASSIFY and MARK not working?

You were exactly right here. Moving to the filters instead of the
iptables classify solved the issue. As for performance, I have not yet
benchmarked it to determine if the filters are fast enough for the
number of users I need this to support.

And makes me wonder if its a bug or a design choice that iptables
classify doesn''t handle this. If the performance isn''t
acceptable, you
might want to look into that. Or look into tc filters and hashing
which can improve performance depending on the filters.

RE: iptables CLASSIFY and MARK not working?

Ok, I ran into a different issue with using the tc filters which
basically puts me right back to using the iptables classify target --
which means that I am running right back into the same problem I was on
before. 

As a refresher, the problem is that the classify target, while matching
in the postrouting chain of the mangle table, is not actually directing
the traffic through the correct TC class. 

Now, I took a look through the iptables classify target code in iptables
and in the Linux kernel. From what I have deciphered thus far, it does
not appear likely that there is a bug in the code in iptables. In fact,
it is a very small amount of code. Essentially, the iptables code runs
through its normal hooks and simply does a sscanf on the --set-class
option to convert the string into numbers. Then it uses the TC_H_MAKE
macro in the packet scheduler code to create a scheduler handle (by
shifting the major node number left 16 bits and ORing in the minor node
number). This 32-bit handle is then stored in the socket buffer priority
field (skb->priority) for use in the scheduler. That''s the end of
the
iptables code.

At this point, it is up to the scheduler algorithms to handle the
placement of the packets into the correct class. 

// From hfsc_classify()

if (TC_H_MAJ(skb->priority ^ sch->handle) == 0 &&
  (cl = hfsc_find_class(skb->priority, sch)) != NULL)
 if (cl->level == 0)
   return cl;

// filter code cut out

// From htb_classify()

/* allow to select class by setting skb->priority to valid classid;
   note that nfmark can be used too by attaching filter fw with no
   rules in it */
if (skb->priority == sch->handle)
        return HTB_DIRECT;  /* X:0 (direct flow) selected */
if ((cl = htb_find(skb->priority,sch)) != NULL && cl->level == 0)
        return cl;

// filter code cut out

// From cbq_classify()

/*
 *  Step 1. If skb->priority points to one of our classes, use it.
 */
if (TC_H_MAJ(prio^sch->handle) == 0 &&
    (cl = cbq_class_lookup(q, prio)) != NULL)
  return cl;

// filter code cut out

So, it would appear that we are doing essentially this logic:

If the priority field is set such that it contains a major node number
(a handle) that is equal to the handle for the current qdisc, then we
try to find a class that matches the priority field. If the find
function does not find a class, we fall back on the filter code to pick
a class. If the find function does find a class, we check to make sure
the class is a leaf node (HTB and HFSC). If it is a leaf node, we return
a pointer to the class. On CBQ, we just return a pointer to the class
without a leaf node check. 

This logic seems pretty straight forward. So, if this is failing, there
can only be a couple of reasons:

1) The skb->priority field is blank when this function starts 
2) The skb->priority field contains an invalid class id. 
3) The skb->priority field does not reference the handle we are inside
of
4) The handle and class specified in the skb->priority field is not a
leaf node
5) The code elsewhere in tc is messed up.

Now, I have double checked my rules to verify that the class IDs match
up:

You''ll notice that the iptables rules show matches for class 5:510,
5:511, and others; yet, the only class taking traffic here is 5:2. 

Now, this proves that options 2 & 3 above are not the case. That leaves:

1) The skb->priority field is blank when this function starts
4) The handle and class specified in the skb->priority field is not a
leaf node
5) The code elsewhere in tc is messed up.

As for option #4, we can show that there are no children for the class
by also taking a look at the qdiscs for the interface:

qdisc hfsc 5: default 2
 Sent 593904 bytes 9198 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

Well, there is only 1 qdisc. Since there are no other classes listed
that say they are a child of 5:510 or 5:511, then obviously 5:510 must
be a leaf node. Thus, option #4 is negated. 

Does anyone have any clues on this?

Thanks.

You may try assigning traffic to leaf qdiscs hanging off the leaf classes on
your hierarchy.  So, give 5:510 a pfifo or something to test with and target
that ID instead.

just to exaust possibilities... 

i think that 5:2 is working cause 
0x2==2(decimal), but 
0x510!=510(decimal)
0x1fe==510(decimal)

in my experience iptables output is in HEX wile tc otput is in DEC
So give a try with 
tc class==510
iptables MARK==1fe 
and so on...

Ok, I tried this:

So, nothing is hitting 475:0, and everything is still hitting 5:2. As I
understand it, the default class is only used for packets that are not
explicitly given a calss. It should not be overriding explicitly set
classes.

It does appear to be printing in hex. It also appears to be reading in

        if (sscanf(s, "%x:%x", &i, &j) != 2)

        *p = TC_H_MAKE(i<<16, j);
        return 0;
}

So, let''s see if that works.

i think that 5:2 is working cause

It matches like normal, but this time is pointing to a hex classid.

Yes, iptables uses HEX:

int string_to_priority(const char *s, unsigned int *p)
{
  unsigned int i, j;

  if (sscanf(s, "%x:%x", &i, &j) != 2)
    return 1;

  *p = TC_H_MAKE(i<<16, j);
  return 0;
}


In fact, not only does iptables use HEX for input/output of these rules,
but so does TC (the strtoul explicitly states base 16):

int get_qdisc_handle(__u32 *h, const char *str)
{
  __u32 maj;
  char *p;

  maj = TC_H_UNSPEC;
  if (strcmp(str, "none") == 0)
    goto ok;
  maj = strtoul(str, &p, 16);
  if (p == str)
    return -1;
  maj <<= 16;
  if (*p != '':'' && *p!=0)
    return -1;
ok:
  *h = maj;
  return 0;
}

int get_tc_classid(__u32 *h, const char *str)
{
  __u32 maj, min;
  char *p;

  maj = TC_H_ROOT;
  if (strcmp(str, "root") == 0)
    goto ok;
  maj = TC_H_UNSPEC;
  if (strcmp(str, "none") == 0)
    goto ok;
  maj = strtoul(str, &p, 16);
  if (p == str) {
    maj = 0;
    if (*p != '':'')
      return -1;
  }
  if (*p == '':'') {
    if (maj >= (1<<16))
      return -1;
    maj <<= 16;
    str = p+1;
    min = strtoul(str, &p, 16);
    if (*p != 0)
      return -1;
    if (min >= (1<<16))
      return -1;
    maj |= min;
  } else if (*p != 0)
    return -1;

ok:
  *h = maj;
  return 0;
}

new rules:

I am really at a loss here. I am targeting a qdisc directly with the
classify command in iptables. I am using HEX throughout my rule base.
The numbers all line up correctly (iptables classify numbers match a
valid class/qdisc id in tc). Each classid is globally unique (it is used
only once). I am using the latest iptables, the latest tc, and the
latest kernel. I have even verified that both iptables and tc are
reading/writing to skb->priority in the code base.

Short of modifying the iptables and tc code in the kernel and in the
userspace programs to print out debugging information, I am not sure
what else to do. 

Can anyone at least verify that iptables CLASSIFY target actually works
on their system? That would at least be helpful. And if it works on your
system, can you try pasting my rules into your system and see if they
work? 

If anyone else has any more ideas, I would love to entertain them.

I already told you why this doesn''t work, you have to classify to
the _classes_, not the qdiscs.

These rules make it go to the classes instead of the qdisc:

- Adding rules to classify traffic on br1 ...
  - iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o br1 -m mark --mark 0x1FE -j
CLASSIFY --set-class 0x5:0x1FE
  - iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o br1 -m mark --mark 0x1FF -j
CLASSIFY --set-class 0x5:0x1FF
  - iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o br1 -m mark --mark 0x200 -j
CLASSIFY --set-class 0x5:0x200

- Adding rules to classify traffic on wivl4 ...
  - iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o wivl4 -m mark --mark 0x1FE -j
CLASSIFY --set-class 0x5:0x1FE
  - iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o wivl4 -m mark --mark 0x1FF -j
CLASSIFY --set-class 0x5:0x1FF
  - iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o wivl4 -m mark --mark 0x200 -j
CLASSIFY --set-class 0x5:0x200


Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 887K packets, 495M bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source
destination
 8662  508K CLASSIFY   all  --  *      br1     0.0.0.0/0
0.0.0.0/0           MARK match 0x1fe CLASSIFY set 5:1fe
   14  8253 CLASSIFY   all  --  *      br1     0.0.0.0/0
0.0.0.0/0           MARK match 0x1ff CLASSIFY set 5:1ff
    0     0 CLASSIFY   all  --  *      br1     0.0.0.0/0
0.0.0.0/0           MARK match 0x200 CLASSIFY set 5:200

And yet, still nothing hits the classes:

No matter how I write these rules, it always still goes to the default
class (5:2 or 1:2). If this is still wrong, please give me an example of
what I should be writing.

The bridge case doesn''t work because you''re using the wrong
major
number (5 instead of 1), the wivl4 rules look correct. I just tested
HFSC+CLASSIFY and it works fine for me. What kind of device is wivl4?

I knew I was going to typo something when I did all that hex conversion
this morning. Here is the corrected ruleset:


- Adding rules to classify traffic on br1 ...
  - iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o br1 -m mark --mark 0x1FE -j
CLASSIFY --set-class 0x1:0x1FE
  - iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o br1 -m mark --mark 0x1FF -j
CLASSIFY --set-class 0x1:0x1FF
  - iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o br1 -m mark --mark 0x200 -j
CLASSIFY --set-class 0x1:0x200

- Adding rules to classify traffic on wivl4 ...
  - iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o wivl4 -m mark --mark 0x1FE -j
CLASSIFY --set-class 0x5:0x1FE
  - iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o wivl4 -m mark --mark 0x1FF -j
CLASSIFY --set-class 0x5:0x1FF
  - iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o wivl4 -m mark --mark 0x200 -j
CLASSIFY --set-class 0x5:0x200


Here are the new test results:

Both devices (br1 and wivl4) are bridged interfaces with spanning tree
turned on. They also do VLANs. Specifically, vconfig was used to create
a VLAN (in this case, VLAN 4) on two interfaces: eth2 and eth3. These
two VLAN interfaces were called e2v4 and e3v4. Then, brctl was used to
bridge the two VLAN interfaces (e2v4 and e3v4) into a new interface
called wivl4. Spanning tree was then enabled on wivl4. The MTU size was
then adjusted -4 bytes to accommodate the VLAN tagging. 


Also, did you happen to try my specific rules (under different devices)
to see if they work? 

If possible, could you try creating a VLAN interface and test on that
interface? Then try a bridged interface. And finally, a bridged VLAN
interface. 

I will try to set this all up on a different machine without the bridged
VLANs and see if it works there.

Any chance you got bridge netfilter enabled? If so please disable
it and try again (or set the bridge-nf-call-iptables sysctl to 0).

No, just tried CLASSIFY with my own HFSC setup, which is pretty
similar.

I checked the code, neither VLAN nor bridge should matter.

Bridged iptables (ebtables) is not enabled in the kernel and I cannot
seem to find a variable "bridge-nf-call-iptables" to set with sysctl:

wireless-r1 linux # sysctl -w bridge-nf-call-iptables=0
error: "bridge-nf-call-iptables" is an unknown key

There is also no /proc/sys/net/*/bridge anything. I assume that means
this is not something I need to worry about?

Not sure yet, the problem would be created by CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER,
not ebtables itself. Check for
"/proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables".

I''m actually pretty sure that this is indeed what''s causing
the problem,
bridge netfilter defers calling the IP POST_ROUTING hook until the
packet was already transmitted over the device (and before it goes
out the underlying device), which means when it hits the CLASSIFY
target it already passed through the qdisc.

Eh. What a pain. If I disable this, then ebtables will not call iptables
after the ebtables are finished running. I figured out that I could use
ebtables to match the destination MAC address like I needed for the
other problem I posted (See "Bi-directional packet classification with
ACK prioritization" thread for details). However, in order for that to
work, I have to have bridge-nf-call-iptables enabled. Essentially, I can
use the ebtables to flag the packets going to a destination MAC address
and then inside the iptables POSTROUTING mangle chain, I can pick up
that flag and reflag packets based on their Layer 3 and 4 information.
But, then I run right back into the problem of this thread in that the
packets are going through the TC qdiscs and classes before they hit the
POSTROUTING mangle chain. 

Now, what confuses me is that I have this nice big printout of the order
that the packets traverse ebtables, iptables, and tc which was made by
Josh over at ImageStream (see
http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/br_fw_ia/PacketFlow.png for the image)
which clearly shows that it should go through ebtables POSTROUTING nat,
then iptables POSTROUTING mangle, then iptables POSTROUTING nat, then TC
qdisc classification, then TC qdisc deque. Also, after reading
http://benix.tamu.edu/unix/linux-bridge-ebtables.htm, it seems pretty
clear that the image depiction should be correct. But, since this is not
happening, either the code has changed or both those sources are just
wrong. 

Do you happen to have any idea how I can get this straightened out? Do
we need to rewrite part of the code to make this work correctly? If that
is what it takes, I would be more than happy to look into doing that. 

Maybe we can write a --destination-mac option for the iptables MAC
matching module? Is that information available to iptables in the
POSTROUTING mangle or nat chains? If not, would it be at all possible to
make it available? That would solve this problem very nicely.

Fixing this is one of my short-term TODO items, most likely before
2.6.18.

No, iptables can''t reliably get at this information (it might need
to be resolved first).

Optimization on Bandwidth Management-L7 filtering?

Hi,

Recently i just set up a machine for bandwidth management based on layer 7
filtering, i have followed the instruction from
http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/L7-HOWTO-Netfilter .

Since all the incoming packets was checked one by one-(it is time consuming and
will cause the processing delay if it is handling more than 50 PC at a time),
thus i am thinking that is there any way to have a random checking on incoming
packets ? Scipt or tools? so that it wont check all the incoming packets one
follow by another one.

If let say&gt; The incoming packets usage for http is 10 packets that need
to be sent in, thus i only check the 1st packet, and then skip the remaining 9
packets checking in order to provide faster processing time to the machine.

Is it my idea workable? Does it work in Linux box with Layer7 filtering ?

(P/s: my question might be a little bit silly, cause i am still new in this
environment)

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

JIN

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who
have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

Try marking only first/new packages/connections, that will be analyzed
by layer-7 filter in another chain and there do whole connecting mark
(-j CONNMARK --mark XX). Those mark packages/connections can be then
picked up by ''tc'' for prioritizing traffic or netfilter for
rejecting/dropping/.. traffic.
