2013-09-23	netfilter: Remove extern from function prototypes	Joe Perches	1	-17/+13
	There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

2013-08-28	netfilter: add SYNPROXY core/target	Patrick McHardy	1	-0/+2
	Add a SYNPROXY for netfilter. The code is split into two parts, the synproxy core with common functions and an address family specific target. The SYNPROXY receives the connection request from the client, responds with a SYN/ACK containing a SYN cookie and announcing a zero window and checks whether the final ACK from the client contains a valid cookie. It then establishes a connection to the original destination and, if successful, sends a window update to the client with the window size announced by the server. Support for timestamps, SACK, window scaling and MSS options can be statically configured as target parameters if the features of the server are known. If timestamps are used, the timestamp value sent back to the client in the SYN/ACK will be different from the real timestamp of the server. In order to now break PAWS, the timestamps are translated in the direction server->client.

2013-08-28	netfilter: nf_conntrack: make sequence number adjustments usuable without NAT	Patrick McHardy	1	-0/+49
	Split out sequence number adjustments from NAT and move them to the conntrack core to make them usable for SYN proxying. The sequence number adjustment information is moved to a seperate extend. The extend is added to new conntracks when a NAT mapping is set up for a connection using a helper. As a side effect, this saves 24 bytes per connection with NAT in the common case that a connection does not have a helper assigned.
