Subject: [PATCH 0/4] netfilter: minor cleanups and improvements
Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 18:06:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1392746810-22456-1-git-send-email-kaber@trash.net> (raw)
The following four patches have been sitting in my tree for a while, I
need them as preconditions for following patches, but they also make
sense on their own, so I'd like to get rid of them.
The second patch adds a nfnl_dereference() helper, which is a wrapper
around rcu_dereference_protected() that checks that the nfnetlink
subsys mutex is actually held. This is similar to rtnl_dereference()
except that we need to check subsys-specific mutexes.
The first patch renamed a similar named ip_set function, the third patch
introduces a nft_dereference() macro that is to be used in nftables.
The fourth patch is unrelated to this, it changes verdict validation in
nftables to accept flags to NF_QUEUE or errno codes to NF_DROP.
Please apply.
