2008-03-26[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: introduce expectation classes and policiesPatrick McHardy1-3/+2
Introduce expectation classes and policies. An expectation class is used to distinguish different types of expectations by the same helper (for example audio/video/t.120). The expectation policy is used to hold the maximum number of expectations and the initial timeout for each class. The individual classes are isolated from each other, which means that for example an audio expectation will only evict other audio expectations.

2007-10-15[NETFILTER]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff *Herbert Xu1-1/+1
With all the users of the double pointers removed, this patch mops up by finally replacing all occurances of sk_buff ** in the netfilter API by sk_buff *. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There is no struct nfattr anymore, rename functions to 'nlattr'. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-11[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_helper: use hashtable for conntrack helpersPatrick McHardy1-2/+2
Eliminate the last global list searched for every new connection. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-11[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_expect: maintain per conntrack expectation listPatrick McHardy1-0/+2
This patch brings back the per-conntrack expectation list that was removed around 2.6.10 to avoid walking all expectations on expectation eviction and conntrack destruction. As these were the last users of the global expectation list, this patch also kills that. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-11[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: reduce masks to a subset of tuplesPatrick McHardy1-3/+2
Since conntrack currently allows to use masks for every bit of both helper and expectation tuples, we can't hash them and have to keep them on two global lists that are searched for every new connection. This patch removes the never used ability to use masks for the destination part of the expectation tuple and completely removes masks from helpers since the only reasonable choice is a full match on l3num, protonum and src.u.all.

2005-11-10[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.Yasuyuki Kozakai1-0/+51
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.
