net: kernel hookers service for toa module
LVS fullnat will replace network traffic's source ip with its local ip, and thus the backend servers cannot obtain the real client ip. To solve this, LVS has introduced the tcp option address (TOA) to store the essential ip address information in the last tcp ack packet of the 3-way handshake, and the backend servers need to retrieve it from the packet header. In this patch, we have introduced the sk_toa_data member in the sock structure to hold the TOA information. There used to be an in-tree module for TOA managing, whereas it has now been maintained as an standalone module. In this case, the toa module should register its hook function(s) using the provided interfaces in the hookers module. TOA in sock structure: __be32 sk_toa_data[16]; The hookers module only provides the sk_toa_data placeholder, and the toa module can use this variable through the layout it needs. Hook interfaces: The hookers module replaces the kernel's syn_recv_sock and getname handler with a stub that chains the toa module's hook function(s) to the original handling function. The hookers module allows hook functions to be installed and uninstalled in any order. toa module: The external toa module will be provided in separate RPM package.
