Hi, With this patchset, we add accounting objects support to let us manipulate extended accounting objects. Example of use in nft: # nft add counter ip filter http-traffic # nft add counter ip filter https-traffic # nft add rule ip filter output tcp dport 80 counter name http-traffic # nft add rule ip filter output tcp dport 443 counter name https-traffic # nft delete counter ip filter https-traffic # nft list table ip test table ip filter { counter http-traffic { pkts 779 bytes 99495} counter https-traffic { pkts 189 bytes 37824} chain output { type filter hook output priority 0; tcp dport http counter http-traffic tcp dport https counter https-traffic } } It is difficult to reuse the existing code of nfacct because: * nfacct does not have transation support transactions. * We need something that integrated well to nf_tables. There is a reset accounter support in the kernel-space and libnftnl. But not in nft-tool yet. No quota support yet. [Changes in v2] * This deletes the acct module and uses the counter module. * This renames from nft_counter to nft_counter_priv struct * This uses _COUNTER_ names instead of _ACCT_ names in variables and functions * Rename acct netlink attributes to named counter netlink attributes. The new names are NFTA_NAMED_CTR_XXX * This limits NFT_CTR_MAXNAMELEN to 16 * This fixes some memory problems These changes were sugguested by Pablo Neira and Patrick McHardy.
