We currently have two ways to account traffic in netfilter:
- iptables chain and rule counters:
# iptables -L -n -v
Chain INPUT (policy DROP 3 packets, 867 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
8 1104 ACCEPT all -- lo * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
- use flow-based accounting provided by ctnetlink:
# conntrack -L
tcp 6 431999 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.1.130 dst=212.106.219.168 sport=58152 dport=80 packets=47 bytes=7654 src=212.106.219.168 dst=192.168.1.130 sport=80 dport=58152 packets=49 bytes=66340 [ASSURED] mark=0 use=1
While trying to display real-time accounting statistics, we require
to pool the kernel periodically to obtain this information. This is
OK if the number of flows is relatively low. However, in case that
the number of flows is huge, we can spend a considerable amount of
cycles to iterate over the list of flows that have been obtained.
Moreover, if we want to obtain the sum of the flow accounting results
that match some criteria, we have to iterate over the whole list of
existing flows, look for matchings and update the counters.
This patch adds the extended accounting infrastructure for
nfnetlink which aims to allow displaying real-time traffic accounting
without the need of complicated and resource-consuming implementation
in user-space. Basically, this new infrastructure allows you to create
accounting objects. One accounting object is composed of packet and
byte counters.
In order to manipulate create accounting objects, you require the
new libnetfilter_acct library. It contains several examples of use:
libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-add http-traffic
libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-get
http-traffic = { pkts = 000000000000, bytes = 000000000000 };
Then, you can use one of this accounting objects in several iptables
rules using the new nfacct match (which comes in a follow-up patch):
# iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic
# iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic
The idea is simple: if one packet matches the rule, the nfacct match
updates the counters.

Export the NAT definitions to userspace. So far userspace (specifically,
iptables) has been copying the headers files from include/net. Also
rename some structures and definitions in preparation for IPv6 NAT.
Since these have never been officially exported, this doesn't affect
existing userspace code.

This partially reworks bc01befdcf
which added userspace expectation support.
This patch removes the nf_ct_userspace_expect_list since now we
force to use the new iptables CT target feature to add the helper
extension for conntracks that have attached expectations from
userspace.
A new version of the proof-of-concept code to implement userspace
helpers from userspace is available at:
http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/userspace-conntrack-helpers/nf-ftp-helper-POC.tar.bz2
This patch also modifies the CT target to allow to set the
conntrack's userspace helper status flags. This flag is used
to tell the conntrack system to explicitly allocate the helper
extension.
This helper extension is useful to link the userspace expectations
with the master conntrack that is being tracked from one userspace
helper.
This feature fixes a problem in the current approach of the
userspace helper support. Basically, if the master conntrack that
has got a userspace expectation vanishes, the expectations point to
one invalid memory address. Thus, triggering an oops in the
expectation deletion event path.
I decided not to add a new revision of the CT target because
I only needed to add a new flag for it. I'll document in this
issue in the iptables manpage. I have also changed the return
value from EINVAL to EOPNOTSUPP if one flag not supported is
specified. Thus, in the future adding new features that only
require a new flag can be added without a new revision.
There is no official code using this in userspace (apart from
the proof-of-concept) that uses this infrastructure but there
will be some by beginning 2012.

New FW can give clues to driver regarding default port type
and whether or not we should default to link sensing on the port.
2 bits are added to QUERY_PORT command:
1. suggested_type: This bit gives a hint whether the default port type should be
IB or Ethernet.
The driver will use this hint in case the user didn't specify explicitly the link layer
type he wants to set.
2. default_sense: If this bit is set, we would sense the port type on start-up
and default the port to link sensing

All drivers that support modification of the RX flow hash indirection
table initialise it in the same way: RX rings are assigned to table
entries in rotation. Make that default policy explicit by having them
call a ethtool_rxfh_indir_default() function.
In the ethtool core, add support for a zero size value for
ETHTOOL_SRXFHINDIR, which resets the table to this default.

When establishing a unix connection on stream sockets the
server end receives an skb with socket in its receive queue.
Report who is waiting for these ends to be accepted for
listening sockets via NLA.
There's a lokcing issue with this -- the unix sk state lock is
required to access the peer, and it is taken under the listening
sk's queue lock. Strictly speaking the queue lock should be taken
inside the state lock, but since in this case these two sockets
are different it shouldn't lead to deadlock.
