2008-01-28[NETNS][FRAGS]: Move ctl tables around.Pavel Emelyanov
This is a preparation for sysctl netns-ization. Move the ctl tables to the files, where the tuning variables reside. Plus make the helpers to register the tables. This will simplify the later patches and will keep similar things closer to each other. ipv4, ipv6 and conntrack_reasm are patched differently, but the result is all the tables are in appropriate files.

2007-10-15[INET]: Collect common frag sysctl variables togetherPavel Emelyanov
Some sysctl variables are used to tune the frag queues management and it will be useful to work with them in a common way in the future, so move them into one structure, moreover they are the same for all the frag management codes. I don't place them in the existing inet_frags object, introduced in the previous patch for two reasons: 1. to keep them in the __read_mostly section; 2. not to export the whole inet_frags objects outside.

2007-07-14[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: make l3proto->prepare() generic and renames itYasuyuki Kozakai
The icmp[v6] l4proto modules parse headers in ICMP[v6] error to get tuple. But they have to find the offset to transport protocol header before that. Their processings are almost same as prepare() of l3proto modules. This makes prepare() more generic to simplify icmp[v6] l4proto module later.

2006-12-02[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: move extern declaration to header filesPatrick McHardy
Using extern in a C file is a bad idea because the compiler can't catch type errors. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2005-11-09[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.Yasuyuki Kozakai
The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written. In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3 protocol. The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6, which is also cured here. For example, these issues include: 1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP messages 2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag" (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply isn't feasible in ipv6 3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking design 4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will fully kill it off 6 months later.
