This is used to validate that arguments are coherent. For instance,
payload_lv expects that the last arg (if any) is not more negative
than the sum of the first two. The error is reported if any.
We don't need the pattern-specific args parsers anymore, make use of the
common parser instead. We still need to improve this by adding a validation
function to report abnormal argument values or combinations. We don't report
precise parsing errors yet but this was not previously done either.
arg_i was almost unused, and since we migrated to use struct arg everywhere,
the rare cases where arg_i was needed could be replaced by switching to
arg->type = ARGT_STOP.
Till now the pattern data integer type was unsigned without any
particular reason. In order to make ACLs use it, we must switch it
to signed int instead.
Since IPv6 is a different type than IPv4, the pattern fetch functions
src6 and dst6 were added. IPv6 stick-tables can also fetch IPv4 addresses
with src and dst. In this case, the IPv4 addresses are mapped to their
IPv6 counterpart, according to RFC 4291.
Ross West reported that int32_t breaks compilation on FreeBSD. Since an
int is 32-bit on all supported platforms and we already rely on that,
change the type.
Enhance pattern convs and fetch argument parsing, now fetchs and convs callbacks used typed args.
Add more details on error messages on parsing pattern expression function.
Update existing pattern convs and fetchs to new proto.
Create stick table key type "binary".
Manage Truncation and padding if pattern's fetch-converted result don't match table key size.
Some converters will need one or several arguments. It's not possible
to write a simple generic parser for that, so let's add the ability
for each converter to support its own argument parser, and call it
to get the arguments when it's specified. If unspecified, the arguments
are passed unmodified as string+len.
The pattern type converters currently support a string arg and a length.
Sometimes we'll prefer to pass them a list or a structure. So let's convert
the string and length into a generic void* and int that each converter may
use as it likes.
