Alexey Dobriyan b916f7d4b7 [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: less hairy ifdefs around proc and sysctl
Patch splits creation of /proc/net/nf_conntrack, /proc/net/stat/nf_conntrack
and net.netfilter hierarchy into their own functions with dummy ones
if PROC_FS or SYSCTL is not set. Also, remove dead "ret = 0" write
while I'm at it.

Pavel Emelyanov 3d7cc2ba62 [NETFILTER]: Switch to using ctl_paths in nf_queue and conntrack modules
This includes the most simple cases for netfilter.

The first part is tne queue modules for ipv4 and ipv6,
on which the net/ipv4/ and net/ipv6/ paths are reused
from the appropriate ipv4 and ipv6 code.

The conntrack module is also patched, but this hunk is
very small and simple.

Eric W. Biederman 457c4cbc5a [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

Patrick McHardy f205c5e0c2 [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: use hlists for conntrack hash
Convert conntrack hash to hlists to reduce its size and cache
footprint. Since the default hashsize to max. entries ratio
sucks (1:16), this patch doesn't reduce the amount of memory
used for the hash by default, but instead uses a better ratio
of 1:8, which results in the same max. entries value.

One thing worth noting is early_drop. It really should use LRU,
so it now has to iterate over the entire chain to find the last
unconfirmed entry. Since chains shouldn't be very long and the
entire operation is very rare this shouldn't be a problem.

Eric W. Biederman 0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

Harald Welte dc808fe28d [NETFILTER] nf_conntrack: clean up to reduce size of 'struct nf_conn'
This patch moves all helper related data fields of 'struct nf_conn'
into a separate structure 'struct nf_conn_help'.  This new structure
is only present in conntrack entries for which we actually have a
helper loaded.

Also, this patch cleans up the nf_conntrack 'features' mechanism to
resemble what the original idea was: Just glue the feature-specific
data structures at the end of 'struct nf_conn', and explicitly
re-calculate the pointer to it when needed rather than keeping
pointers around.

Saves 20 bytes per conntrack on my x86_64 box. A non-helped conntrack
is 276 bytes. We still need to save another 20 bytes in order to fit
into to target of 256bytes.

Harald Welte 2e4e6a17af [NETFILTER] x_tables: Abstraction layer for {ip,ip6,arp}_tables
This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables.  In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.

o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
  wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
  are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
  to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
  include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
  around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers

Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

Patrick McHardy babbdb1a18 [NETFILTER]: Fix timeout sysctls on big-endian 64bit architectures
The connection tracking timeout variables are unsigned long, but
proc_dointvec_jiffies is used with sizeof(unsigned int) in the sysctl
tables. Since there is no proc_doulongvec_jiffies function, change the
timeout variables to unsigned int.
