netfilter: xtables: deconstify struct xt_action_param for matches

2010-05-11T16:33:37+00:00

In future, layer-3 matches will be an xt module of their own, and
need to set the fragoff and thoff fields. Adding more pointers would
needlessy increase memory requirements (esp. so for 64-bit, where
pointers are wider).

netfilter: xtables: limit xt_mac to ethernet devices

2010-03-18T13:20:06+00:00

I do not see a point of allowing the MAC module to work with devices
that don't possibly have one, e.g. various tunnel interfaces such as
tun and sit.

netfilter: xtables: use NFPROTO_UNSPEC in more extensions

2008-10-08T09:35:20+00:00

Lots of extensions are completely family-independent, so squash some code.

netfilter: xtables: move extension arguments into compound structure (1/6)

2008-10-08T09:35:18+00:00

The function signatures for Xtables extensions have grown over time.
It involves a lot of typing/replication, and also a bit of stack space
even if they are not used. Realize an NFWS2008 idea and pack them into
structs. The skb remains outside of the struct so gcc can continue to
apply its optimizations.

This patch does this for match extensions' match functions.

A few ambiguities have also been addressed. The "offset" parameter for
example has been renamed to "fragoff" (there are so many different
offsets already) and "protoff" to "thoff" (there is more than just one
protocol here, so clarify).

Updates the MODULE_DESCRIPTION() tags for all Netfilter modules,
actually describing what the module does and not just
"netfilter XYZ target".

[NETFILTER]: Introduce NF_INET_ hook values

2008-01-28T22:53:55+00:00

The IPv4 and IPv6 hook values are identical, yet some code tries to figure
out the "correct" value by looking at the address family. Introduce NF_INET_*
values for both IPv4 and IPv6. The old values are kept in a #ifndef __KERNEL__
section for userspace compatibility.
