* sync: enqueue state updates to tx_queuePablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | With this patch, all the states updates are enqueued in the tx_queue. Thus, there's a single output path. This patch adds a simple refcounting mechanism to note when an object is sitting in the txqueue. This patch also removes the alarm that is required by the ftfw approach.

* sync: add generic tx_queue for all synchronization modesPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-171-2/+1

* sync: unify tx_list and tx_queue into one single tx_queuePablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-151-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch unifies the tx_list and the tx_queue to have only one transmission queue. Since the tx_list hold state objects and tx_queue control messages, I have introduced a queue node type that can be used to differenciate the kind of information that the node stores: object or control message. This patch also reworks the existing queue class to include a file descriptor that can be used to know if there are new data added to the queue (see QUEUE_F_EVFD flag). In this change, I have also modified the current evfd to make the file descriptor to make read operations non-blocking. Moreover, it keeps a counter that is used to know how many messages are inserted in the queue. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: rework of the hash-cache infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the caching system is implemented in a two layer architecture: hashtable (inner layer) and cache (upper layer). This patch reworks the hash-cache infrastructure to solve some initial design problems to make it more flexible, the main strong points of this patch are: * Memory handling is done in the cache layer, not in the inner hashtable layer. This removes one of the main dependencies between the hashtable and the cache classes. * Remove excessive encapsulation: the former cache used to hide a lot of details of the inner hashtable implementation. * Fix over-hashing of some operations: lookup-delete-add required three hash calculations. Similarly, the update-or-add operation required two hash calculations. Now, we calculate the hash once and re-use the value how many times as we need. This patch simplifies the caching system. As a result, we save ~130 lines of code. Small code means and less complexity means less chance to have bugs. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

* Max Kellermann <max@duempel.org>:/C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org2008-01-151-2/+2
| | | | | | the global variable "alarm" conflicts with the alarm() function from unistd.h. resolve that conflict by giving those two global variables a better name.
* wake up the daemon iff there are real events to handle instead of polling ↵/C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org2008-01-091-1/+1

* o Use more appropriate names for the existing synchronization modes:/C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org2007-12-211-2/+2
| | | | | | o rename `persistent' mode to `alarm' o rename `nack' mode to `ftfw' o Now default synchronization mode is ftfw instead of alarm
* - conntrack-tools requires libnetfilter_conntrack >= 0.0.81 /C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org2007-07-091-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - add len field to nethdr - implement buffered send/recv to batch messages - stop using netlink format for network messages: use similar TLV-based format - reduce synchronization messages size up to 60% - introduce periodic alive messages for sync-nack protocol - timeslice alarm implementation: remove alarm pthread, remove locking - simplify debugging functions: use nfct_snprintf instead - remove major use of libnfnetlink functions: use libnetfilter_conntrack API - deprecate conntrackd -F, use conntrack -F instead - major rework of the network infrastructure: much simple, less messy
* - more cleanups and code refactorization/C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org2007-06-191-3/+3
| | | | | | - remove several debug calls - create a child to dispatch dump requests: this will help to simplify the current locking schema. Later.
* o remove useless backlog parameter in multicast sockets/C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org2007-06-041-4/+4
| | | | | | | | o remove reminiscents of delay destroy message and relax transitions o remove confusing StripNAT parameter: NAT support enabled by default o relax event tracking: *_update callbacks use cache_update_force o use wraparound-aware functions after/before/between o lots of cleanups
* - remove dead code sync-mode.c/C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org2007-05-181-1/+3
| | | | | | | - flush nack queue in the conntrackd -f path - do not increase add_fail counter for EEXIST errors - cleanup sync-nack code - improve mcast_recv_netmsg: sanity check before checksumming!
* first step forward to merge conntrackd and conntrack into the same building ↵/C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org2007-04-161-0/+23
