2007-08-07[NETFILTER]: nf_nat: add symbolic dependency on IPv4 conntrackPatrick McHardy
Loading nf_nat causes the conntrack core to be loaded, but we need IPv4 as well. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-14[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: mark protocols __read_mostlyPatrick McHardy
Also remove two unnecessary EXPORT_SYMBOLs and move the nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4 declaration to the correct file. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-10[NETFILTER]: nf_nat: move NAT declarations from nf_conntrack_ipv4.h to nf_nat.hYasuyuki Kozakai

2006-12-02[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack/nf_nat: add PPTP helper portPatrick McHardy
Add nf_conntrack port of the PPtP conntrack/NAT helper. Since there seems to be no IPv6-capable PPtP implementation the helper only support IPv4. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-12-02[NETFILTER]: Add NAT support for nf_conntrackJozsef Kadlecsik
Add NAT support for nf_conntrack. Joint work of Jozsef Kadlecsik, Yasuyuki Kozakai, Martin Josefsson and myself. Signed-off-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-12-02[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: /proc compatibility with old connection trackingPatrick McHardy
This patch adds /proc/net/ip_conntrack, /proc/net/ip_conntrack_expect and /proc/net/stat/ip_conntrack files to keep old programs using them working. The /proc/net/ip_conntrack and /proc/net/ip_conntrack_expect files show only IPv4 entries, the /proc/net/stat/ip_conntrack shows global statistics. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2006-12-02[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: move extern declaration to header filesPatrick McHardy
Using extern in a C file is a bad idea because the compiler can't catch type errors. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2006-01-12[NETFILTER] x_tables: Abstraction layer for {ip,ip6,arp}_tablesHarald Welte
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.

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.
