Hi,
I noticed that I have:
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_max
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max
A quick look at net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_standalone.c shows
that we register the same variable (ip_conntrack_max) twice:
In:
ip_ct_sysctl_table[]:
{
.ctl_name = NET_IPV4_NF_CONNTRACK_MAX,
.procname = "ip_conntrack_max",
.data = &ip_conntrack_max,
.maxlen = sizeof(int),
.mode = 0644,
.proc_handler = &proc_dointvec,
},
And in ip_ct_netfilter_table[]:
{
.ctl_name = NET_IP_CONNTRACK_MAX,
.procname = "ip_conntrack_max",
.data = &ip_conntrack_max,
.maxlen = sizeof(int),
.mode = 0644,
.proc_handler = &proc_dointvec
},
Is this for some backward compatibility or is it a needless duplication ?
Regards,
Maciej

I asked the same some time ago, and Jozsef told me that it's a backward
compatibility issue.
