Hi Pablo, please consider these IPVS updates for v3.18. I hope that v2 of this pull request addresses the issues you raised in v1. In particular "ipvs: use correct address family in scheduler logs" patch consolidates what was previously 7 patches. And I have provided a longer description: I hope the tone is closer to what you need. This pull requests makes the following changes: * Add simple weighted fail-over scheduler. - Unlike other IPVS schedulers this offers fail-over rather than load balancing. Connections are directed to the appropriate server based solely on highest weight value and server availability. - Thanks to Kenny Mathis * Support IPv6 real servers in IPv4 virtual-services and vice versa - This feature is supported in conjunction with the tunnel (IPIP) forwarding mechanism. That is, IPv4 may be forwarded in IPv6 and vice versa. - The motivation for this is to allow more flexibility in the choice of IP version offered by both virtual-servers and real-servers as they no longer need to match: An IPv4 connection from an end-user may be forwarded to a real-server using IPv6 and vice versa. - Further work need to be done to support this feature in conjunction with connection synchronisation. For now such configurations are not allowed. - This change includes update to netlink protocol, adding a new destination address family attribute. And the necessary changes to plumb this information throughout IPVS. - Thanks to Alex Gartrell and Julian Anastasov The following changes since commit 0bbe80e571c7b866afd92a98edd32a969467a7a9: netfilter: masquerading needs to be independent of x_tables in Kconfig (2014-09-12 09:40:18 +0200) are available in the git repository at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/horms/ipvs-next.git tags/ipvs2-for-v3.18 for you to fetch changes up to bc18d37f676f76edbb5e0c37def78c704b5fbed0: ipvs: Allow heterogeneous pools now that we support them (2014-09-18 08:59:29 +0900) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Alex Gartrell (10): ipvs: Add destination address family to netlink interface ipvs: Supply destination addr family to ip_vs_{lookup_dest,find_dest} ipvs: Pass destination address family to ip_vs_trash_get_dest ipvs: Supply destination address family to ip_vs_conn_new ipvs: prevent mixing heterogeneous pools and synchronization ipvs: Pull out crosses_local_route_boundary logic ipvs: Pull out update_pmtu code ipvs: Add generic ensure_mtu_is_adequate to handle mixed pools ipvs: support ipv4 in ipv6 and ipv6 in ipv4 tunnel forwarding ipvs: Allow heterogeneous pools now that we support them Julian Anastasov (4): ipvs: address family of LBLC entry depends on svc family ipvs: address family of LBLCR entry depends on svc family ipvs: use correct address family in scheduler logs ipvs: use the new dest addr family field Kenny Mathis (1): ipvs: Add simple weighted failover scheduler include/net/ip_vs.h | 15 +- include/uapi/linux/ip_vs.h | 3 + net/netfilter/ipvs/Kconfig | 10 + net/netfilter/ipvs/Makefile | 1 + net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_conn.c | 74 +++++-- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_core.c | 15 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c | 112 +++++++--- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_dh.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_fo.c | 79 +++++++ net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ftp.c | 6 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_lblc.c | 12 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_lblcr.c | 12 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_lc.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_nq.c | 3 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_proto_sctp.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_proto_tcp.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_rr.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sed.c | 3 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sh.c | 8 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sync.c | 13 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_wlc.c | 3 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_wrr.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c | 388 +++++++++++++++++++++------------- 23 files changed, 544 insertions(+), 225 deletions(-) create mode 100644 net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_fo.c -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe lvs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
