2008-11-18netfilter: ctnetlink: deliver events for conntracks changed from userspacePablo Neira Ayuso
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. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2008-10-08netfilter: netns nf_conntrack: per-netns event cacheAlexey Dobriyan
Heh, last minute proof-reading of this patch made me think, that this is actually unneeded, simply because "ct" pointers will be different for different conntracks in different netns, just like they are different in one netns. Not so sure anymore. [Patrick: pointers will be different, flushing can only be done while inactive though and thus it needs to be per netns] Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2007-07-10[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_expect: function naming unificationPatrick McHardy
Currently there is a wild mix of nf_conntrack_expect_, nf_ct_exp_, expect_, exp_, ... Consistently use nf_ct_ as prefix for exported functions. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

- move EXPORT_SYMBOL next to exported symbol - use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL since this is what the original code used Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-12-02[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: rename struct nf_conntrack_protocolMartin Josefsson
Rename 'struct nf_conntrack_protocol' to 'struct nf_conntrack_l4proto' in order to help distinguish it from 'struct nf_conntrack_l3proto'. It gets rather confusing with 'nf_conntrack_protocol'. Signed-off-by: Martin Josefsson <gandalf@wlug.westbo.se> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
