[PATCH v6] netfilter: Xtables: idletimer target implementation

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

 



This patch implements an idletimer Xtables target that can be used to
identify when interfaces have been idle for a certain period of time.

Timers are identified by labels and are created when a rule is set with a new
label.  The rules also take a timeout value (in seconds) as an option.  If
more than one rule uses the same timer label, the timer will be restarted
whenever any of the rules get a hit.

One entry for each timer is created in sysfs.  This attribute contains the
timer remaining for the timer to expire.  The attributes are located under
the xt_idletimer class:

/sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/<label>

When the timer expires, the target module sends a sysfs notification to the
userspace, which can then decide what to do (eg. disconnect to save power).

---
v2: Fixed according to Jan's comments
v3: Changed to a device class in the virtual bus in sysfs
    Removed unnecessary attribute group
    Fixed missing deallocation in some error cases
v4: Fixed according to Jan's and Patrick's comments to v3
    Changed to mutex locking instead of spin locks
    Save the timer in the target info struct to avoid extra reads
    Other small clean-ups
v5: Changed max label length to 28 to avoid waste in 64-bit archs
    Changed unnecessary atomic memory allocation
    Removed mutex locks from the target function
v6: Added xt_IDLETIMER.h to Kbuild
    Removed one useless check in idletimer_tg_destroy()
