2010-03-25netfilter: xtables: slightly better error reportingJan Engelhardt
When extended status codes are available, such as ENOMEM on failed allocations, or subsequent functions (e.g. nf_ct_get_l3proto), passing them up to userspace seems like a good idea compared to just always EINVAL. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
2010-03-25netfilter: xtables: change targets to return error codeJan Engelhardt
Part of the transition of done by this semantic patch: // <smpl> @ rule1 @ struct xt_target ops; identifier check; @@ ops.checkentry = check; @@ identifier rule1.check; @@ check(...) { <... -return true; +return 0; ...> } @@ identifier rule1.check; @@ check(...) { <... -return false; +return -EINVAL; ...> } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
2010-03-25netfilter: xtables: change xt_target.checkentry return typeJan Engelhardt
Restore function signatures from bool to int so that we can report memory allocation failures or similar using -ENOMEM rather than always having to pass -EINVAL back. // <smpl> @@ type bool; identifier check, par; @@ -bool check +int check (struct xt_tgchk_param *par) { ... } // </smpl> Minus the change it does to xt_ct_find_proto.

"It is deliberately not done in the init function, since we might not have sufficient random while booting." Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2009-08-18net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definitionEric Dumazet
In 5e140dfc1fe87eae27846f193086724806b33c7d "net: reorder struct Qdisc for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to userland via netlink. Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason. Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land, using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic) Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

2008-10-08netfilter: implement NFPROTO_UNSPEC as a wildcard for extensionsJan Engelhardt
When a match or target is looked up using xt_find_{match,target}, Xtables will also search the NFPROTO_UNSPEC module list. This allows for protocol-independent extensions (like xt_time) to be reused from other components (e.g. arptables, ebtables). Extensions that take different codepaths depending on match->family or target->family of course cannot use NFPROTO_UNSPEC within the registration structure (e.g. xt_pkttype).

2008-01-28[NET_SCHED]: Convert packet schedulers from rtnetlink to new netlink APIPatrick McHardy
Convert packet schedulers to use the netlink API. Unfortunately a gradual conversion is not possible without breaking compilation in the middle or adding lots of casts, so this patch converts them all in one step. The patch has been mostly generated automatically with some minor edits to at least allow seperate conversion of classifiers and actions.

Add new rate estimator target (using gen_estimator). In combination with the rateest match (next patch) this can be used for load-based multipath routing. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
