Macro Definition Documentation

NPF_RULE

#define NPF_RULE	(		_name,
			_result,
			... )

#include <zephyr/net/net_pkt_filter.h>

Value:

        struct npf_rule _name = { \
                .result = (_result), \
                .nb_tests = NUM_VA_ARGS_LESS_1(__VA_ARGS__) + 1, \
                .tests = { FOR_EACH(Z_NPF_TEST_ADDR, (,), __VA_ARGS__) }, \
        }

Statically define one packet filter rule.

This creates a rule from a variable amount of filter conditions. This rule can then be inserted or appended to the rule list for a given network packet path.

Example:

static NPF_SIZE_MAX(maxsize_200, 200);
static NPF_ETH_TYPE_MATCH(ip_packet, NET_ETH_PTYPE_IP);
 
static NPF_RULE(small_ip_pkt, NET_OK, ip_packet, maxsize_200);
 
void install_my_filter(void)
{
    npf_insert_recv_rule(&npf_default_drop);
    npf_insert_recv_rule(&small_ip_pkt);
}

The above would accept IP packets that are 200 bytes or smaller, and drop all other packets.

Another (less efficient) way to create the same result could be:

static NPF_SIZE_MIN(minsize_201, 201);
static NPF_ETH_TYPE_UNMATCH(not_ip_packet, NET_ETH_PTYPE_IP);
 
static NPF_RULE(reject_big_pkts, NET_DROP, minsize_201);
static NPF_RULE(reject_non_ip, NET_DROP, not_ip_packet);
 
void install_my_filter(void) {
    npf_append_recv_rule(&reject_big_pkts);
    npf_append_recv_rule(&reject_non_ip);
    npf_append_recv_rule(&npf_default_ok);
}

The first rule in the list for which all conditions are true determines the fate of the packet. If one condition is false then the next rule in the list is evaluated.

Parameters

_name	Name for this rule.
_result	Fate of the packet if all conditions are true, either NET_OK or NET_DROP.
...	List of conditions for this rule.
