netfilter: doc: Add nf_tables part in tproxy.txt

2018-08-16T17:37:07+00:00

Recently, transparent proxy support has been added to nf_tables so that this document should be updated with the new information. - Nft commands are added as alternatives to iptables ones. - The link for a patched iptables is removed as it is already part of the mainline iptables implementation (and the link is dead). - tcprdr is added as an example implementation of a transparent proxy Cc: "David S.

netfilter: tproxy: remove nf_tproxy_core, keep tw sk assigned to skb

2013-07-31T14:39:40+00:00

The module was "permanent", due to the special tproxy skb->destructor. Nowadays we have tcp early demux and its sock_edemux destructor in networking core which can be used instead. Thanks to early demux changes the input path now also handles "skb->sk is tw socket" correctly, so this no longer needs the special handling introduced with commit d503b30bd648b3cb4e5f50b65d27e389960cc6d9 (netfilter: tproxy: do not assign timewait sockets to skb->sk). Thus: - move assign_sock function to where its needed - don't prevent timewait sockets from being assigned to the skb - remove nf_tproxy_core.
