Hi, Yet another request for comments. I promise I'll stop with these soon. :)
So I've mentioned that I need a notification when a socket is closed. As there are other parts in netfilter which might assign state to sockets through setsockopt/getsockopt, I wanted to make the close callback as general as possible. I'm thinking about putting a close() function pointer into struct nf_sockopt_ops, and call it from nf_sock_release (new function), which is called from inet_release() when CONFIG_NETFILTER is defined. This way any parts of netfilter might register a close callback. (even conntrack might use it to deregister local sockets from the conntrack table) Opinions? -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
