Development Corner

This page is to organize development and testing of the IMQ patch. You can find alpha or beta quality patches here, as well as the current problems or goals.

Note: You can subscribe to WebNotify service to get informed of any changes on this page (or its subpages).

Do not use in production system the patches linked on this page - they're here for testing! (And may be unstable and use kernel panics, and the sort.)

Current issues

Setting netfilter hooking behaviour from module parameter

Goal: allow admins to delay the decision on netfilter hooking until before loading the module (or booting the kernel); this way one can easily change the setup without a recompilation.

Subpage: ImqDevelImqBehaviour

Consistent indenting/formatting all over the code

It's annoying that at some places TAB's are used, and at others SPACEs. I (NorbertBuchmuller) would prefer using TABs, with tabwidth=8. (BTW, Linus likes so - see $kernel-source/Documentation/CodingStyle)

Coupling loading/unloading of imq.ko & ipt_IMQ.ko

L2 stuff on IMQ devices

Include some L2 sttuf to enable sniffing imq devices. Right now it is not possible to sniff packets that go thru IMQ devices.
