[PATCH 14/15] netfilter: nf_tables: add transaction helper functions

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

 



From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@xxxxxxxxx>

Add some helper functions for building the genmask as preparation for
set transactions.

Also add a little documentation how this stuff actually works.
