Also,
it seem than conntrack is not yet implemented on bridge filtering :(

seem to be a blocking point for now

I have found an interesting paper from netdevconf 1.1 here: 

https://www.netdevconf.org/1.1/proceedings/papers/Bridge-filter-with-nftables.pdf
 

I'll to do some tests in coming week.

yes, indeed. could be better to rewrite it from stratch. (and maybe better than 
iptables, with all the new features like vmap,...)

Still missing some log features. 

(Currently I can't have any log on an accept/reject rule)

The issue was that the regular filter forward table isn't really used 
for bridged traffic (IIRC?), while the bridge filter forward table 
doesn't have access to conntrack. There may be other ways (at some 
point I marked packets in the netdev tables), but I haven't checked in 
a while. 
At least I haven't produced any kernel crashes in a while ;-D 

IIRC the issue with netdev tables on the other hand was that they'd have 
to be created after a network device was created. Can't have them "wait 
around" for the device. (Not a big deal, just needs a little more 
callbacks in our interface creation code and lxc bridge hook.) I'd want 
source mac & ip checks to be moved to those tables for outgoing 
packets, they happen quite early in the stack. 

The pve-firewall code is very iptables-oriented though, and I'm not sure 
if maybe we're not better off splitting the rule-generating part out 
and write the nftables variant from scratch... The iptables part would 
be considered feature-frozen from that point on I'd say/hope/think...
