Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: xtables: Add snapshot of hardidletimer target
Message-ID: <20191105102210.GA18988@manojbm-linux.ap.qualcomm.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.24 (2015-08-30)
Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk
List-ID: <netdev.vger.kernel.org>
X-Mailing-List: netdev@vger.kernel.org

This is a snapshot of hardifletimer netfilter target as of msm-4.4
commit 469a150b7426 ("netfilter: xtables: hardidletimer target implementation")

This patch implements a hardidletimer Xtables target that can be
used to identify when interfaces have been idle for a certain period
of time.

Timers are identified by labels and are created when a rule is set
with a new label. The rules also take a timeout value (in seconds) as
an option. If more than one rule uses the same timer label, the timer
will be restarted whenever any of the rules get a hit.

One entry for each timer is created in sysfs. This attribute contains
the timer remaining for the timer to expire. The attributes are
located under the xt_idletimer class:

/sys/class/xt_hardidletimer/timers/<label>

When the timer expires, the target module sends a sysfs notification
to the userspace, which can then decide what to do (eg. disconnect to
save power)

Compared to xt_IDLETIMER, xt_HARDIDLETIMER can send notifications when
CPU is in suspend too, to notify the timer expiry.
