2009-05-23	conntrackd: flush operation use the child process and origin infrastructure	Pablo Neira Ayuso
	With this patch, the flush operation is performed by a child process. Thus, the parent process digests destroy events that ctnetlink reports back and, thanks to the origin infrastructure, we skip the messy implicit synchronization that are triggered by such events. This patch requires a Linux kernel >= 2.6.29 to benefit from this change, otherwise it has no effect. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2009-05-23	conntrackd: detect where the events comes from	Pablo Neira Ayuso
	Since Linux kernel 2.6.29, ctnetlink reports the changes that have been done using ctnetlink. With this patch, conntrackd can recognize who is the origin of the event messages. For example, this is interesting to avoid a messy implicit bulk send during the commit of entries. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
