I'm comfortable with that.
Though do you know the details of why it was removed in the first place?
Nope, however I can imagine following reasons:
1. Too many proc-fs entries
2. Not too often used
3. Planned to be replaced by per-app entries through ipvsadm
-#define NET_IPV4_VS 21
+#define NET_IPV4_VS 39
Actually this is not such a good idea as I've just realised. This
defines the binary id for the proc-fs handler. I haven't figured out
where this would ever be needed but the 21 has a reason (just 1 above
the NETFILTER entry) d'existence; even if's just half of 42 :).
- NET_IPV4_VS_LBLCR_EXPIRE=20,
- NET_IPV4_VS_CACHE_BYPASS=22,
Jump, because of the 21.
If you want to change the style of define to ommit numerical values
(which I am cool with as these values are only used in the kernel), I
think it would be better to make it a separate patch.
I'll leave them since all the other sub systems defined them too. I
think it was planned to have those binary id's back in 1995 when sysctl
was put in place by Stephen Tweedie. Sort of a ABI for sysctl or
somesuch. I simply cannot remember anymore. On our 2.4.x IPVS code I
have integrated the removal of the numerical values and it's running on
productive servers without any problems.
+ {NET_IPV4_VS_DOS_TO_LI, "dos_timeout_listen",
+ &vs_timeout_table_dos.timeout[IP_VS_S_LISTEN],
+ sizeof(int), 0644, NULL, &proc_dointvec_jiffies},
+ {NET_IPV4_VS_DOS_TO_SA, "dos_timeout_synack",
+ &vs_timeout_table_dos.timeout[IP_VS_S_SYNACK],
+ sizeof(int), 0644, NULL, &proc_dointvec_jiffies},
+ {NET_IPV4_VS_DOS_TO_UDP, "dos_timeout_udp",
+ &vs_timeout_table_dos.timeout[IP_VS_S_UDP],
+ sizeof(int), 0644, NULL, &proc_dointvec_jiffies},
+ {NET_IPV4_VS_DOS_TO_ICMP, "dos_timeout_icmp",
&vs_timeout_table_dos.timeout[IP_VS_S_ICMP],
sizeof(int), 0644, NULL, &proc_dointvec_jiffies},
{NET_IPV4_VS_CACHE_BYPASS, "cache_bypass",
The above hunk should look quite different on 2.6.
But in principle I think it looks ok.
Yes.
