<id>584015727a3b88b46602b20077b46cd04f8b4ab3</id>
<content type='text'>
Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but
it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are
still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters
waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime.

This patch:
 - reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure,
 - makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(),
 - makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n),
 - makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs,
 - extends counters from 32bit to 64bit,
 - renames ip_conntrack_counter -&gt; nf_conn_counter,
 - enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT),
 - set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT
 - removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling.

If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend.
Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area
to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with
acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".

<title>rename div64_64 to div64_u64</title>

<content type='text'>
Rename div64_64 to div64_u64 to make it consistent with the other divide
functions, so it clearly includes the type of the divide.  Move its definition
to math64.h as currently no architecture overrides the generic implementation.
 They can still override it of course, but the duplicated declarations are
avoided.

The patch will add MODULE_ALIAS("ip6t_&lt;modulename&gt;") where missing,
otherwise you will get

when xt_&lt;modulename&gt; is not already loaded.
