3 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_conntrack: add IPS_OFFLOAD status bit
5 This new bit tells us that the conntrack entry is owned by the flow
6 table offload infrastructure.
8 # cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack
9 ipv4 2 tcp 6 src=10.141.10.2 dst=147.75.205.195 sport=36392 dport=443 src=147.75.205.195 dst=192.168.2.195 sport=443 dport=36392 [OFFLOAD] mark=0 zone=0 use=2
11 Note the [OFFLOAD] tag in the listing.
13 The timer of such conntrack entries look like stopped from userspace.
14 In practise, to make sure the conntrack entry does not go away, the
15 conntrack timer is periodically set to an arbitrary large value that
16 gets refreshed on every iteration from the garbage collector, so it
17 never expires- and they display no internal state in the case of TCP
18 flows. This allows us to save a bitcheck from the packet path via
21 Conntrack entries that have been offloaded to the flow table
22 infrastructure cannot be deleted/flushed via ctnetlink. The flow table
23 infrastructure is also responsible for releasing this conntrack entry.
