[PATCH 0/4] netfilter: minor cleanups and improvements

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

 



The following four patches have been sitting in my tree for a while, I
need them as preconditions for following patches, but they also make
sense on their own, so I'd like to get rid of them.

The second patch adds a nfnl_dereference() helper, which is a wrapper
around rcu_dereference_protected() that checks that the nfnetlink
subsys mutex is actually held. This is similar to rtnl_dereference()
except that we need to check subsys-specific mutexes.

The first patch renamed a similar named ip_set function, the third patch
introduces a nft_dereference() macro that is to be used in nftables.

The fourth patch is unrelated to this, it changes verdict validation in
nftables to accept flags to NF_QUEUE or errno codes to NF_DROP.

Please apply.
