*	src: restore interface to index cache	Pablo Neira Ayuso	2015-04-11	1	-0/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	nftables used to have a cache to speed up interface name <-> index lookup, restore it using libmnl. This reduces netlink traffic since if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() open, send a request, receive the list of interface and close a netlink socket for each call. I think this is also good for consistency since nft -f will operate with the same index number when reloading the ruleset. The cache is populated by when nft_if_nametoindex() and nft_if_indextoname() are used for first time. Then, it it released in the output path. In the interactive mode, it is invalidated after each command. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
*	build: autotools conversion	Pablo Neira Ayuso	2014-11-12	1	-0/+22
	1) This removes former Makefiles and install-sh (which is now automagically imported via autoreconf). Makefile.defs.in Makefile.in Makefile.rules.in src/Makefile.in install-sh (now automagically imported via autoreconf). 2) CFLAGS are left almost same, they are integrated into Make_global.am. Use AM_CPPFLAGS to set the CFLAGS set by pkgconfig. 3) Add m4 directory to the tree which only contains the .gitignore file. Update .gitignore file to skip autogenerated files. 4) include <config.h> whenever required. 5) Minor adjustments to scanner.l and parser_bison.y to compile cleanly with autotools. 6) Add %option outfile=lex.yy.c to scanner.l, otherwise I hit this error here: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../include -DDEFAULT_INCLUDE_PATH="\"/usr/etc\"" -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wsign-compare -Winit-self -Wformat-nonliteral -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wcast-align -Wundef -Wbad-function-cast -g -O2 -MT mnl.o -MD -MP -MF $depbase.Tpo -c -o mnl.o mnl.c &&\ mv -f $depbase.Tpo $depbase.Po /bin/sh ../build-aux/ylwrap scanner.l lex.yy.c scanner.c -- flex make[3]: * [scanner.c] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/pablo/devel/scm/git-netfilter/nftables/src' make[2]: * [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pablo/devel/scm/git-netfilter/nftables/src' make[1]: * [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pablo/devel/scm/git-netfilter/nftables' make: * [all] Error 2 7) Add Makefile.am for include/ (contributed by Giorgio Dal Molin). The doc/ and files/ conversion to automake will come in follow up patches but 'make distcheck' already works. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
