Lots of netfilter hacking over the last couple of days
Following-up meeting the other networking hackers at netconf, I got really extremely motivated and basically spent every single minute hacking code.
The projects include:
- skb shrinkage (already merged in DaveM's net-2.6.14 tree)
- nfnetlink (already merged in DaveM's net-2.6.14 tree)
- conntrack event notifiers (already merged in DaveM's net-2.6.14 tree)
- ctnetlink (reworked to use network byte order in all the payload)
- nfnetlink_queue (a nfnetlink-based queue implementation)
- vdev (a virtual device that allows you to use multiple mac addresses on one Ethernet device)
- mmio_test (include support for machine-parseable reporting)
