From e50092404c1bc7aaeb0a0f4077fa6f07b073a20f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2016 00:04:32 +0100 Subject: netfilter: nf_tables: add stateful objects This patch augments nf_tables to support stateful objects. This new infrastructure allows you to create, dump and delete stateful objects, that are identified by a user-defined name. This patch adds the generic infrastructure, follow up patches add support for two stateful objects: counters and quotas. This patch provides a native infrastructure for nf_tables to replace nfacct, the extended accounting infrastructure for iptables.
