The general method is to make the opaque struct nfq_handle contain fully populated libnfnetlink-style and libmnl-style handles. Patch 1 (nfq_open()) and patch 2 (nfq_open_nfnl()) sets this up. Patch 3 (nfq_close()) cleans it away. Patches 3-10 convert the other nfq_* functions that used to use libnfnetlink, except for the nfq_get_*_name functions that need nlif. Patches 11-13 provide all the nlif_* functions that libnfnetlink used to offer, converted to use libmnl. Patch 14 removes all use of and reference to header files provided by libnfnetlink. It provides prototypes as required. Patch 15 removes libnfnetlink as a private library. There is a tester for this patchset at https://github.com/duncan-roe/nfqnltester Some of the tests require checking out different branches, e.g. for testing the effect of loading libraries in a diffrernt order. There is more info in the README. In particular I checked that nlif still works with -lnfnetlink coming first (app will use libnfnetlink's functions). The nlif functions sit a little uneasily in libnetfilter_queue. ulogd2 and conntrack-tools both use them so perhaps they would be better placed in libmnl. --- Changes in v2: - 11/32 (Fix checkpatch whitespace and block comment warnings) is subsumed into previous patches - 22/32 becomes 14 - 21/32 becomes 15 - 12/32 & 17/32 become 11, but rtnl.c is not copied - 14/32 & 16/32 become 12 - 19/32 & (some of) 32/32 become 13 - The only changes to linux_list.h are to fix or suppress checkpatch errors. There is no attempt to document the circular linked list functions and macros, so no changes to build_man.sh. That is how the rest of the patches disappear. - Other changes are documented in the individual patches Duncan Roe (15): src: Convert nfq_open() to use libmnl src: Convert nfq_open_nfnl() to use libmnl src: Convert nfq_close() to use libmnl src: Convert nfq_create_queue(), nfq_bind_pf() & nfq_unbind_pf() to use libmnl src: Convert nfq_set_queue_flags(), nfq_set_queue_maxlen() & nfq_set_mode() to use libmnl src: Convert nfq_handle_packet(), nfq_get_secctx(), nfq_get_payload() and all the nfq_get_ functions to use libmnl src: Convert nfq_set_verdict() and nfq_set_verdict2() to use libmnl if there is no data src: Incorporate nfnl_rcvbufsiz() in libnetfilter_queue src: Convert nfq_fd() to use libmnl src: Convert remaining nfq_* functions to use libmnl src: Copy nlif-related files from libnfnetlink doc: Add iftable.c to the doxygen system src: Convert all nlif_* functions to use libmnl include: Use libmnl.h instead of libnfnetlink.h build: Remove libnfnetlink from the build Make_global.am | 2 +- configure.ac | 1 - doxygen/Makefile.am | 1 + doxygen/doxygen.cfg.in | 6 + .../libnetfilter_queue/libnetfilter_queue.h | 38 +- include/libnetfilter_queue/linux_list.h | 730 ++++++++++++++++++ .../linux_nfnetlink_queue.h | 3 +- libnetfilter_queue.pc.in | 2 - src/Makefile.am | 3 +- src/iftable.c | 373 +++++++++ src/libnetfilter_queue.c | 543 ++++++++----- 11 files changed, 1512 insertions(+), 190 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/libnetfilter_queue/linux_list.h create mode 100644 src/iftable.c -- 2.35.8
