[PATCH libnetfilter_queue v3 1/5] src: eliminate packet copy when constructing struct pkt_buff

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

 



To avoid a copy, the new code takes advantage of the fact that the netfilter
netlink queue never returns multipart messages.
This means that the buffer space following that callback data is available for
packet expansion when mangling.

nfq_cb_run() is a new nfq-specific callback runqueue for netlink messages.
The principal function of nfq_cb_run() is to pass to the called function what is
the length of free space after the packet.
As a side benefit, nfq_cb_run() also gives the called function a pointer to a
zeroised struct pkt_buff, avoiding the malloc / free that was previously needed.

nfq_cb_t is a new typedef for the function called by nfq_cb_run()
[c.f. mnl_cb_t / mnl_cb_run].

No doxygen documentation update yet -
will do once function prototypes are agreed.
In the meantime, examples/nf-queue.c is updated to demonstrate the new API.

v2: Pass saved vars in a struct rather than use (slower) thread-local
v3: Rebase to master commit c3bada27
