xt_owner-xt_socket plans

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,


I just remembered that xt_socket (from tproxy) does an (explicit) socket 
lookup. xt_owner on the other hand, takes the socket pointer from the 
skb -- which of course only works in the output path.

xt_owner is still in the 2.6.25 development queue, and because the two 
modules are similar, I thought that maybe xt_owner could be merged with 
xt_socket (doing a rename to xt_socket in the current net-2.6.25),
because they are quite close in their task.

That would also allow xt_owner to be used in the input path.

Opinions?

thanks,
Jan
