2006-01-05	[NETFILTER]: Fix module_param types and permissions	Patrick McHardy	1	-7/+3
	Fix netfilter module_param types and permissions. Also fix an off-by-one in the ipt_ULOG nlbufsiz < 128k check. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-11-29	[NET]: Add const markers to various variables.	Arjan van de Ven	1	-1/+1
	the patch below marks various variables const in net/; the goal is to move them to the .rodata section so that they can't false-share cachelines with things that get written to, as well as potentially helping gcc a bit with optimisations. (these were found using a gcc patch to warn about such variables) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-11-17	[NETFILTER] ip_conntrack: fix ftp/irc/tftp helpers on ports >= 32768	Harald Welte	1	-2/+2
	Since we've converted the ftp/irc/tftp helpers to use the new module_parm_array() some time ago, we ware accidentially using signed data types - thus preventing those modules from being used on ports >= 32768. This patch fixes it by using 'ushort' module parameters. Thanks to Jan Nijs for reporting this bug. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-09-13	[NETFILTER]: Use correct type for "ports" module parameter	Patrick McHardy	1	-3/+3
	With large port numbers the helper_names buffer can overflow. Noticed by Samir Bellabes <sbellabes@mandriva.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-09-06	[NETFILTER]: Add support for permanent expectations	Patrick McHardy	1	-0/+1
	A permanent expectation exists until timeing out and can expect multiple related connections. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29	[NETFILTER]: move conntrack helper buffers from BSS to kmalloc()ed memory	Harald Welte	1	-1/+6
	According to DaveM, it is preferrable to have large data structures be allocated dynamically from the module init() function rather than putting them as static global variables into BSS. This patch moves the conntrack helper packet buffers into dynamically allocated memory. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-07-21	[NETFILTER]: ip_conntrack_expect_related must not free expectation	Rusty Russell	1	-5/+3
	If a connection tracking helper tells us to expect a connection, and we're already expecting that connection, we simply free the one they gave us and return success. The problem is that NAT helpers (eg. FTP) have to allocate the expectation first (to see what port is available) then rewrite the packet. If that rewrite fails, they try to remove the expectation, but it was freed in ip_conntrack_expect_related. This is one example of a larger problem: having registered the expectation, the pointer is no longer ours to use. Reference counting is needed for ctnetlink anyway, so introduce it now. To have a single "put" path, we need to grab the reference to the connection on creation, rather than open-coding it in the caller.

2005-06-21	[NETFILTER]: Kill lockhelp.h	Patrick McHardy	1	-4/+3

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+313
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
