From 6f5666a29cb7cbff08ce926ee1edb84a311ff6ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Sat, 23 May 2009 20:34:41 +0200 Subject: conntrackd: flush operation use the child process and origin infrastructure With this patch, the flush operation is performed by a child process. Thus, the parent process digests destroy events that ctnetlink reports back and, thanks to the origin infrastructure, we skip the messy implicit synchronization that are triggered by such events. This patch requires a Linux kernel >= 2.6.29 to benefit from this change, otherwise it has no effect.
