Following patch series (for net-next) adds a NFQUEUE v2 target revision that introduces a "--queue-bypass" flag. If the flag is used with a -j NFQUEUE rule, then NFQUEUE will behave like ACCEPT instead of DROP iff no program has opened the queue. I will send the userspace patch for iptables in a couple of days. The patch series is also available via git, but beware: the tree is based on net-next-2.6 and NOT nf-next, because the former includes Eric Paris' selinux netfilter changes which would cause merge conflicts with these patches. The following changes since commit 041110a439e21cd40709ead4ffbfa8034619ad77: Merge branch 'master' of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-next-2.6 (2010-12-25 19:20:38 -0800) are available in the git repository at: git://git.breakpoint.cc/fw/net-next-2.6.git nfq_bypass Florian Westphal (6): netfilter: kconfig: NFQUEUE is useless without NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: return error number to caller netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: do not free skb on error netfilter: reduce NF_VERDICT_MASK to 0xff netfilter: allow NFQUEUE bypass if no listener is available netfilter: do not omit re-route check on NF_QUEUE verdict include/linux/netfilter.h | 21 ++++++++--- include/linux/netfilter/xt_NFQUEUE.h | 6 +++ net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_mangle.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/Kconfig | 1 + net/netfilter/core.c | 14 +++++-- net/netfilter/nf_queue.c | 66 +++++++++++++++++++++------------ net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c | 22 +++++++---- net/netfilter/xt_NFQUEUE.c | 28 +++++++++++++-- 8 files changed, 115 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
