[PATCH 2/2 v5] New netfilter target to trigger LED devices

[Adam Nielsen <a.nielsen@shikadi.net>]

Kernel module providing implementation of LED netfilter target.  Each
instance of the target appears as a led-trigger device, which can be
associated with one or more LEDs in /sys/class/leds/

Signed-off-by: Adam Nielsen <a.nielsen@shikadi.net>

---

Thanks for the feedback Patrick - here is the updated version with
your suggestions:

  - Mutexes removed - I concede that missing a blink here and there
    is acceptable :-)
  - KERN_ERR used for non-critical errors, all KERN_NOTICEs removed
  - Split assignment out from comparison in kzalloc()

Hope this one's okay!

+      This option adds a `LED' target, which allows you to blink LEDs in
+      response to particular packets passing through your machine.
+
+      This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED,
+      which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example.  Or
+      you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time
+      somebody connects to your machine via SSH.
+
+      You will need support for the "led" class to make this work.
+
+      To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic:
+        iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000
+
+      Then attach the new trigger to an LED on your system:
+        echo netfilter-ssh > /sys/class/leds/<ledname>/trigger
+
+      For more information on the LEDs available on your system, see
+      Documentation/leds-class.txt
