This extends the NFQUEUE target to enable a simple load-balancing feature (packets are distributed among a range of queues, so several instances of the same userspace-program can process data simultaneously). I will be sending the userspace change in a separate patch series shortly. If you have any objections, please let me know and I'll be happy to fix the patches up. The 3rd (unrelated) patch removes the rwlock from the MASQUERADE target, it does not appear to have any use in its current form... You may also pull these changes from: git://git.breakpoint.cc/fw/nf-next-2.6.git for-kaber Thanks for your time, Florian
