* conntrackd: remove the cache write-through policyPablo Neira Ayuso2009-05-231-79/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the cache write-through clause. This feature remained undocumented although some has found it looking at the source code. This feature has remained in the tree for quite some time although it has several limitations. Moreover, it is specifically broken and dangerous for Linux kernels >= 2.6.29 since it generates loops in the synchronization. We do this removal first to prepare the introduction of a feature to bypass the external cache. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: don't clone when calling nl_*_conntrack functionsPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-251-12/+3
| | | | | | | | | This patch removes the clone conntrack objects created before calling nl_*_conntrack functions since they are not required anymore (the previous patch guarantees that objects passed as parameter are not modified). Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* cache: mangle timeout inside nl_*_conntrack() functionsPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-251-3/+3
| | | | | | This patch moves the timeout mangling inside nl_*_conntrack(). Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* cache: remove nl_exist_conntrack() functionPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | This function is a synonimous of nl_get_conntrack(), use the get function instead. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: rework of the hash-cache infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-151-17/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* netlink: fix EILSEQ error messages due to process race conditionPablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-111-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a race condition that triggers EILSEQ errors (wrong sequence message). The problems is triggered when the child process resets the timers at the same time that the parent process requests a resync. Since both the child and the parent process use the same descriptors, the sequence tracking code in libnfnetlink gets confused as it considers that it is receiving out of sequence netlink messages. This patch introduces internal handlers to commit and reset timers so that the parent and the child do not use the same descriptors to operate with the kernel. This patch changes the prototype of all nf_*_conntrack() functions. Now, the nfct handler is passed as first parameter, this change is required to fix this problem. The rest of the changes on the API is done for consistency. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

feature is particularly useful for active-active setup without connection persistency, ie. you cannot know which firewall would filter a packet that belongs to a connection.
