2008-10-08netfilter: netns nf_conntrack: per-netns expectationsAlexey Dobriyan
Make per-netns a) expectation hash and b) expectations count. Expectations always belongs to netns to which it's master conntrack belong. This is natural and doesn't bloat expectation. Proc files and leaf users are stubbed to init_net, this is temporary. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2008-03-25[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: introduce expectation classes and policiesPatrick McHardy
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.

2008-03-25[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_expect: support inactive expectationsPatrick McHardy
This is useful for the SIP helper and signalling expectations. We don't want to create a full-blown expectation with a wildcard as source based on a single UDP packet, but need to know the final port anyways. With inactive expectations we can register the expectation and reserve the tuple, but wait for confirmation from the registrar before activating it.

2008-01-31[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_expect: use RCU for expectation hashPatrick McHardy
Use RCU for expectation hash. This doesn't buy much for conntrack runtime performance, but allows to reduce the use of nf_conntrack_lock for /proc and nf_netlink_conntrack. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-01-28[NETFILTER]: Introduce nf_inet_addressJan Engelhardt
A few netfilter modules provide their own union of IPv4 and IPv6 address storage. Will unify that in this patch series. (1/4): Rename union nf_conntrack_address to union nf_inet_addr and move it to x_tables.h.

2007-10-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_expect: kill unique IDPatrick McHardy
Similar to the conntrack ID, the per-expectation ID is not needed anymore, kill it. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_expect: introduce nf_conntrack_expect_max sysctPatrick McHardy
As a last step of preventing DoS by creating lots of expectations, this patch introduces a global maximum and a sysctl to control it. The default is initialized to 4 * the expectation hash table size, which results in 1/64 of the default maxmimum of conntracks.

2007-07-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_expect: maintain per conntrack expectation listPatrick McHardy
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>
2007-07-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: use hashtable for expectationsPatrick McHardy
Currently all expectations are kept on a global list that - needs to be searched for every new conncetion - needs to be walked for evicting expectations when a master connection has reached its limit - needs to be walked on connection destruction for connections that have open expectations This is obviously not good, especially when considering helpers like H.323 that register *lots* of expectations and can set up permanent expectations, but it also allows for an easy DoS against firewalls using connection tracking helpers. Use a hashtable for expectations to avoid incurring the search overhead for every new connection. The default hash size is 1/256 of the conntrack hash table size, this can be overriden using a module parameter. This patch only introduces the hash table for expectation lookups and keeps other users to reduce the noise, the following patches will get rid of it completely.

2007-07-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: reduce masks to a subset of tuplesPatrick McHardy
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.

2007-07-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_expect: function naming unificationPatrick McHardy

2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 1Arjan van de Ven
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

2006-12-02[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: automatic helper assignment for expectationsPatrick McHardy
Some helpers (namely H.323) manually assign further helpers to expected connections. This is not possible with nf_conntrack anymore since we need to know whether a helper is used at allocation time. Handle the helper assignment centrally, which allows to perform the correct allocation and as a nice side effect eliminates the need for the H.323 helper to fiddle with nf_conntrack_lock. Mid term the allocation scheme really needs to be redesigned since we do both the helper and expectation lookup _twice_ for every new connection.
