* libxt_cpu: use guided option parserJan Engelhardt2011-04-061-49/+16

* iptables: do not print trailing whitespacesJan Engelhardt2011-01-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to the use of printf("foobar "), iptables emits spaces at the end-of-line, which looks odd to some users because it causes the terminal to wrap even if there is seemingly nothing to print. It may also have other points of annoyance, such as mailers interpreting a trailing space as an indicator that the paragraph continues when format=flowed is also on. And git highlights trailing spaces in red, so let's avoid :) Preexisting inconsistencies in outputting spaces in the right spot are also addressed right away.

* extension: add xt_cpu matchEric Dumazet2010-07-231-0/+98
Kernel 2.6.36 supports xt_cpu match In some situations a CPU match permits a better spreading of connections, or select targets only for a given cpu. With Remote Packet Steering or multiqueue NIC and appropriate IRQ affinities, we can distribute trafic on available cpus, per session. (all RX packets for a given flow are handled by a given cpu) Some legacy applications being not SMP friendly, one way to scale a server is to run multiple copies of them. Instead of randomly choosing an instance, we can use the cpu number as a key so that softirq handler for a whole instance is running on a single cpu, maximizing cache effects in TCP/UDP stacks. Using NAT for example, a four ways machine might run four copies of server application, using a separate listening port for each instance, but still presenting an unique external port : iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 0 \ -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 1 \ -j REDIRECT --to-port 8081 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 2 \ -j REDIRECT --to-port 8082 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 3 \ -j REDIRECT --to-port 8083 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
