netfilter: conntrack: don't deliver events for racy packets

2009-03-16T14:06:42+00:00

This patch skips the delivery of conntrack events if the packet
was drop due to a race condition in the conntrack insertion.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: don't try to deliver events for untracked connections

2009-02-18T14:30:34+00:00

The untracked conntrack actually does usually have events marked for
delivery as its not special-cased in that part of the code. Skip the
actual delivery since it impacts performance noticeably.

netfilter: nfnetlink_log: fix warning and prototype mismatch

2008-11-18T11:16:52+00:00

net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.c:537:1: warning: symbol 'nfulnl_log_packet' was not declared. Should it be static?

Including the proper header also revealed an incorrect prototype.

netfilter: ctnetlink: deliver events for conntracks changed from userspace

2008-11-18T10:56:20+00:00

As for now, the creation and update of conntracks via ctnetlink do not
propagate an event to userspace. This can result in inconsistent situations
if several userspace processes modify the connection tracking table by means
of ctnetlink at the same time. Specifically, using the conntrack command
line tool and conntrackd at the same time can trigger unconsistencies.

This patch also modifies the event cache infrastructure to pass the
process PID and the ECHO flag to nfnetlink_send() to report back
to userspace if the process that triggered the change needs so.
Based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.

netfilter: ctnetlink: helper modules load-on-demand support

2008-11-18T10:54:05+00:00

This patch adds module loading for helpers via ctnetlink.

* Creation path: We support explicit and implicit helper assignation. For
  the explicit case, we try to load the module. If the module is correctly
  loaded and the helper is present, we return EAGAIN to re-start the
  creation. Otherwise, we return EOPNOTSUPP.
* Update path: release the spin lock, load the module and check. If it is
  present, then return EAGAIN to re-start the update.

This patch provides a refactorized function to lookup-and-set the
connection tracking helper. The function removes the exported symbol
__nf_ct_helper_find as it has not clients anymore.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: connection tracking helper name persistent aliases

2008-11-17T15:01:42+00:00

This patch adds the macro MODULE_ALIAS_NFCT_HELPER that defines a
way to provide generic and persistent aliases for the connection
tracking helpers.

This next patch requires this patch.

netfilter: xt_NFLOG: don't call nf_log_packet in NFLOG module.

2008-11-04T13:21:08+00:00

This patch modifies xt_NFLOG to suppress the call to nf_log_packet()
function. The call of this wrapper in xt_NFLOG was causing NFLOG to
use the first initialized module. Thus, if ipt_ULOG is loaded before
nfnetlink_log all NFLOG rules are treated as plain LOG rules.
