* conntrackd: add support to display statistics on existing child processesPablo Neira Ayuso2009-06-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to dump the list of existing child processes. In general, it would be hard to display one since child processes are generally forked for very specific tasks, like commit and flush operations, and they have very limited lifetime. However, this can be handy for debugging problems. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: allow to limit the number of simultaneous child processesPablo Neira Ayuso2009-06-111-1/+10
| | | | | | | | This patch allows to limit the number of simultaneous child processes. This is required by the next patch that replaces disposable handlers to commit and flush with permanent handlers. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: add child process infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso2009-05-231-0/+14
This patch adds a simple infrastructure that allows to account the child processes that have been forked. This also includes a callback handler that can be registered that is called once the child process finishes. We can extended this later to include an alarm to limit the maximum lifetime of a forked child process. This is good to ensure that child processes behave timely.
