* src: rework of the hash-cache infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-151-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* ftfw: show consistent information to users for problem diagnosingPablo Neira Ayuso2008-08-011-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This patch hides information that may confuse users while they are diagnosing problems in their setup. For example, we hide entries that are schedule to expire - from the user side, they are already destroyed entries; and we show in the counters the real active entries, not all that are stored in the caches.

* Fix reorder possible reordering of destroy messages under message omission. ↵/C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org2008-04-291-1/+7
