    netfilter: Add nf_ct_get_tuple_skb global lookup function · b60a6040
    Toke Høiland-Jørgensen 提交于
    This adds a global netfilter function to extract a conntrack tuple from an
    skb. The function uses a new function added to nf_ct_hook, which will try
    to get the tuple from skb->_nfct, and do a full lookup if that fails. This
    makes it possible to use the lookup function before the skb has passed
    through the conntrack init hooks (e.g., in an ingress qdisc). The tuple is
    copied to the caller to avoid issues with reference counting.
    
    The function returns false if conntrack is not loaded, allowing it to be
    used without incurring a module dependency on conntrack. This is used by
    the NAT mode in sch_cake.
