Subject: RFC: net/netfilter reorganization
Date: Sun, 05 Oct 2008 14:34:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48E8B439.6030608@trash.net> (raw)
We've talked about reorganizing net/netfilter in a smaller group
during the workshop. Its currently quite crowded in there,
additionally the IPVS guys are moving their code under
net/netfilter/ipvs in 2.6.28.
Some suggestions for a new directory structure:
net/netfilter/xtables
net/netfilter/{ct, conntrack, nfct, ...}
net/netfilter/nftables for my new stuff
We could go further by splitting up xtables and conntrack,
parts of this structure would be mirrored in net/ipv4/netfilter
and net/ipv6/netfilter:
net/netfilter/xtables/matches
net/netfilter/xtables/targets
net/netfilter/ct/protocols
net/netfilter/ct/helpers
I'm not sure whether this is too much since 4 directory
levels seem a bit extreme.
Since the amount of core code is increasing too, one more
thought was
net/netfilter/core
containing core.c, netfilter.c, logging and queuing stuff and
everything netlink related that doesn't fall in a more specific
area.
