This patch set aims to add net namespace support for the ct helper, it is a little large, but I try my best to split them to a relative smaller patches, which will help to review. Comments are welcome. Actually, I split the whole thing into 4 parts: 1. make nf_conntrack_helper_register become per-net, this is done by patch #1 and #2 2. filter ct helper by netns, done by patch #3 3. support netns for the user cthelper by patch #4 4. support netns for the kernel built-in cthelper, done by patch #5 Last, I use the following commands to do test, running about 0.5 hour. And no exceptions found, i.e. no OOPS or no memory leak reported: while : ; do ip netns add test1 ip netns exec test1 nfct add helper ssdp inet udp ip netns exec test1 iptables -w -t raw -I OUTPUT -p udp -j CT --helper ssdp ip netns delete test1 done while : ; do modprobe nf_conntrack_sip "ports=111,222" modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp "ports=444,555" modprobe nf_conntrack_tftp ip netns add test2 ip netns exec test2 iptables -w -t raw -I OUTPUT -p tcp -j CT --helper ftp-444 ip netns delete test2 iptables -w -t raw -I OUTPUT -p udp -j CT --helper sip-0 iptables -w -t raw -D OUTPUT -p udp -j CT --helper sip-0 rmmod nf_conntrack_sip rmmod nf_conntrack_ftp rmmod nf_conntrack_tftp done Liping Zhang (5): netfilter: use nf_conntrack_helpers_register when possible netfilter: make nf_conntrack_helper_register become per-net netfilter: make each ct helper belong to a specific netns netfilter: complete the netns support for the user cthelpers netfilter: complete the netns support for the kernel built-in cthelpers include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper.h | 44 ++++++-- include/net/netns/conntrack.h | 5 + net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic.c | 19 +++- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_amanda.c | 27 +++-- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ftp.c | 19 +++- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_main.c | 70 ++++++++----- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper.c | 155 ++++++++++++++++++++++------ net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_irc.c | 19 +++- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netbios_ns.c | 19 +++- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c | 15 +-- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_pptp.c | 19 +++- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_sane.c | 19 +++- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_sip.c | 19 +++- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_snmp.c | 19 +++- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_tftp.c | 19 +++- net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c | 70 +++++++++---- net/netfilter/nft_ct.c | 12 ++- net/netfilter/xt_CT.c | 3 +- net/openvswitch/conntrack.c | 7 +- 19 files changed, 452 insertions(+), 127 deletions(-) -- 2.5.5 -- 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
