From c4e9d501ee485269343b44a67df2f89db95432b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Manoj Basapathi Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2020 16:37:29 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: xtables: Add snapshot of hardidletimer target This is a snapshot of hardidletimer netfilter target. 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_idletimer/timers/
