2006-03-20[NET]: sem2mutex part 2Ingo Molnar
Semaphore to mutex conversion. The conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated automatically via a script as well. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[NETFILTER] nf_conntrack: clean up to reduce size of 'struct nf_conn'Harald Welte
This patch moves all helper related data fields of 'struct nf_conn' into a separate structure 'struct nf_conn_help'. This new structure is only present in conntrack entries for which we actually have a helper loaded. Also, this patch cleans up the nf_conntrack 'features' mechanism to resemble what the original idea was: Just glue the feature-specific data structures at the end of 'struct nf_conn', and explicitly re-calculate the pointer to it when needed rather than keeping pointers around. Saves 20 bytes per conntrack on my x86_64 box. A non-helped conntrack is 276 bytes. We still need to save another 20 bytes in order to fit into to target of 256bytes.

2006-02-15[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: move registration of __nf_ct_attachYasuyuki Kozakai
Move registration of __nf_ct_attach to nf_conntrack_core to make it usable for IPv6 connection tracking as well. Signed-off-by: Yasuyuki Kozakai <yasuyuki.kozakai@toshiba.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-02-04[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: check address family when finding protocol moduleYasuyuki Kozakai
__nf_conntrack_{l3}proto_find() doesn't check the passed protocol family, then it's possible to touch out of the array which has only AF_MAX items. Spotted by Pablo Neira Ayuso.

2006-01-05[NETFILTER]: Decrease number of pointer derefs in nf_conntrack_core.cJesper Juhl
Benefits of the patch: - Fewer pointer dereferences should make the code slightly faster. - Size of generated code is smaller - improved readability Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-11-15[NETFILTER] Free layer-3 specific protocol tables at cleanupKOVACS Krisztian
Although the comment around the allocation code tells us that the layer-3 specific protocol tables will be freed when cleaning up, they aren't. And this makes nfsim complain loudly...

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.
