* src: rework of the hash-cache infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-151-10/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* network: do more strict message type checkingPablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | This patch adds more strict checking in the message type. We add a new message type NET_T_CTL for control messages. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* network: use NET_T_* instead of NFCT_Q_*Pablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | This patch replaces the use of NFCT_Q_* in the message type by specific network message type NET_T_*. The query types are reserved for libnetfilter_conntrack operations. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* network: remove the netpld header from the messagesPablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-081-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | This patch simplifies the message format of the replication messages. As a result, we save four bytes. The netpld header was introduced in the early protocol design. Today, it does not have any reason to exist. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* network: remove length parameter of mcast_buffered_send_netmsg()Pablo Neira Ayuso2008-12-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | This patch simplifies mcast_buffered_send_netmsg() by removing the length parameter. Instead, we use the length field in the nethdr to know the message size to be sent. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* notrack: fix double receival of resync requestsPablo Neira Ayuso2008-10-201-0/+21
| | | | | | | This patch fixes double insertion in the tx_list if we receive two (or more) consecutive resync request in short time. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* add best effort replication protocol (aka NOTRACK)Pablo Neira Ayuso2008-05-251-0/+184

* o Use more appropriate names for the existing synchronization modes:/C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org2007-12-211-104/+0
| | | | | | 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.org2007-07-091-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - 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.org2007-06-191-10/+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.org2007-06-041-33/+11
| | | | | | | | 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/+127
