2011-06-16netfilter: ipset: options and flags support added to the kernel APIJozsef Kadlecsik
The support makes possible to specify the timeout value for the SET target and a flag to reset the timeout for already existing entries. Signed-off-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2011-06-16netfilter: ipset: timeout can be modified for already added elementsJozsef Kadlecsik
When an element to a set with timeout added, one can change the timeout by "readding" the element with the "-exist" flag. That means the timeout value is reset to the specified one (or to the default from the set specification if the "timeout n" option is not used). Example ipset add foo 1.2.3.4 timeout 10 ipset add foo 1.2.3.4 timeout 600 -exist Signed-off-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2011-02-01netfilter: ipset: remove unnecessary includesPatrick McHardy
None of the set types need uaccess.h since this is handled centrally in ip_set_core. Most set types additionally don't need bitops.h and spinlock.h since they use neither. tcp.h is only needed by those using before(), udp.h is not needed at all. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2011-02-01netfilter: ipset: hash:ip set type supportJozsef Kadlecsik
The module implements the hash:ip type support in four flavours: for IPv4 or IPv6, both without and with timeout support. All the hash types are based on the "array hash" or ahash structure and functions as a good compromise between minimal memory footprint and speed. The hashing uses arrays to resolve clashes. The hash table is resized (doubled) when searching becomes too long. Resizing can be triggered by userspace add commands only and those are serialized by the nfnl mutex. During resizing the set is read-locked, so the only possible concurrent operations are the kernel side readers. Those are protected by RCU locking. Because of the four flavours and the other hash types, the functions are implemented in general forms in the ip_set_ahash.h header file and the real functions are generated before compiling by macro expansion. Thus the dereferencing of low-level functions and void pointer arguments could be avoided: the low-level functions are inlined, the function arguments are pointers of type-specific structures.
