2009-11-12sysctl net: Remove unused binary sysctl codeEric W. Biederman
Now that sys_sysctl is a compatiblity wrapper around /proc/sys all sysctl strategy routines, and all ctl_name and strategy entries in the sysctl tables are unused, and can be revmoed. In addition neigh_sysctl_register has been modified to no longer take a strategy argument and it's callers have been modified not to pass one.

2009-02-18netfilter: change generic l4 protocol numberChristoph Paasch
0 is used by Hop-by-hop header and so this may cause confusion. 255 is stated as 'Reserved' by IANA. Signed-off-by: Christoph Paasch <christoph.paasch@student.uclouvain.be> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2008-11-03net: '&' reduxAlexey Dobriyan
I want to compile out proc_* and sysctl_* handlers totally and stub them to NULL depending on config options, however usage of & will prevent this, since taking adress of NULL pointer will break compilation. So, drop & in front of every ->proc_handler and every ->strategy handler, it was never needed in fact. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-18sysctl: remove broken netfilter binary sysctlsEric W. Biederman
No one has bothered to set strategy routine for the the netfilter sysctls that return jiffies to be sysctl_jiffies. So it appears the sys_sysctl path is unused and untested, so this patch removes the binary sysctl numbers. Which fixes the netfilter oops in 2.6.23-rc2-mm2 for me. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

Rename 'struct nf_conntrack_protocol' to 'struct nf_conntrack_l4proto' in order to help distinguish it from 'struct nf_conntrack_l3proto'. It gets rather confusing with 'nf_conntrack_protocol'. Signed-off-by: Martin Josefsson <gandalf@wlug.westbo.se> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2006-01-10[NETFILTER]: Fix timeout sysctls on big-endian 64bit architecturesPatrick McHardy
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. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-11-09[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.Yasuyuki Kozakai
The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written. In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3 protocol. The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6, which is also cured here. For example, these issues include: 1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP messages 2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag" (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply isn't feasible in ipv6 3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking design 4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will fully kill it off 6 months later.
