Hi, This is a quick RFC that has passed just very basic testing here. This patchset achieves what it has been discussed during NetDev 1.2:
1) Deprecate NF_STOP, as this is only used by br_netfilter. 2) Remove threshold handling, this is also only used by br_netfilter too. 3) Move NF_QUEUE handling away from the core. Adds a new nf_queue() function that must be explicitly called to queue packets to userspace. This function returns the verdict that is passed down to the core, basically NF_DROP if queue is full, NF_ACCEPT if bypass is enabled and NF_STOLEN if packet is succesfully enqueued to userspace. 4) Merge nf_iterate() into nf_hook_slow(), then inline the resulting function and rename it to nf_hook_iterate(). This patchset also modifies the pktinfo and xt_action_param structures (that keep context around while performing packet processing) to store the netfilter hook state. This change was required by the new NF_QUEUE handling. As side effect, according to pahole, these two now fit into one single cacheline after this update. Thanks!
