I have a large number of pending patches for iptables for new
matches and targets. I'm not going apply patches for new things
unless they are at least in a -rc kernel, so we have a chance to
fix mistakes. So my question is whether we're ready to release
the current iptables -rc anytime soon (before/when 2.6.24 is
released) or whether we're more likely going to need until 2.6.25,
in which case I would apply them now.
What about my performance/scalability patches, do I need to wait another
kernel cycle to see them released?
I think that, at least patch 1/2 should be applied, as its a obvious fix.
For at patch 2/2, I would like some comments on the type casting, e.g. if
it will work on all platforms e.g. 64-bit.
I'm also working on a faster chain list search (because listing all rules
still takes 17 sec on production server with patches applied). That patch
should, settle a bit in SVN before released.
Note, right now I have some spare time to work on iptables, in a week I
don't. Please give me some feedback on the patches.
