2009-01-15src: rework of the hash-cache infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso
Currently, the caching system is implemented in a two layer architecture: hashtable (inner layer) and cache (upper layer). This patch reworks the hash-cache infrastructure to solve some initial design problems to make it more flexible, the main strong points of this patch are: * Memory handling is done in the cache layer, not in the inner hashtable layer. This removes one of the main dependencies between the hashtable and the cache classes. * Remove excessive encapsulation: the former cache used to hide a lot of details of the inner hashtable implementation. * Fix over-hashing of some operations: lookup-delete-add required three hash calculations. Similarly, the update-or-add operation required two hash calculations. Now, we calculate the hash once and re-use the value how many times as we need. This patch simplifies the caching system. As a result, we save ~130 lines of code. Small code means and less complexity means less chance to have bugs. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2008-08-01ftfw: show consistent information to users for problem diagnosingPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch hides information that may confuse users while they are diagnosing problems in their setup. For example, we hide entries that are schedule to expire - from the user side, they are already destroyed entries; and we show in the counters the real active entries, not all that are stored in the caches.

2008-04-29Fix reorder possible reordering of destroy messages under message omission. ↵/C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org
This patch introduces the TimeoutDestroy clause to determine how long a conntrack remains in the internal cache once it has been destroy from the kernel table.
2008-03-08revert relicensing... still we use linux_list.h code which seems to be GPLv2 ↵/C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org
only which is incompatible AFAIK
2008-03-08relicense conntrack-tools as GPLv3+, so far the most significant contributor ↵/C=EU/ST=EU/CN=Pablo Neira Ayuso/emailAddress=pablo@netfilter.org
has been Max Kellermann and has no issues with relicensing their contributions.
