This factors out protocol and low-level storage parts of ceph into a separate libceph module living in net/ceph and include/linux/ceph. This is mostly a matter of moving files around. However, a few key pieces of the interface change as well: - ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client and file system specific pieces. - Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into two pieces. - The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown messages (mds map, in this case). - The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by ceph_fs_client). No functional change, aside from some subtle error handling cases that got cleaned up in the refactoring process. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

---help---

Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here.
|
|
The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
|
|
when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any
|
|
other computer.
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
|
|
should consider updating your networking tools too because changes
|
|
in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are
|
|
contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number
|
|
of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
|
|
|
|
For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly
|
|
recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

|

help
|
|
This option makes it possible to send different netlink messages
|
|
to tasks depending on whether the task is a compat task or not. To
|
|
achieve this, you need to set skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list to the
|
|
compat skb before sending the skb, the netlink code will sort out
|
|
which message to actually pass to the task.
|
|
|
|
Newly written code should NEVER need this option but do
|
|
compat-independent messages instead!

These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local
|
|
Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge
|
|
your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
|
|
system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
|
|
other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
|
|
allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).

Linux Networking HOWTO, available from

|
|
|
If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and
|
|
"Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the
|
|
behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in
|
|
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/*; the options are explained in the file
|
|
<file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.
|
|
|
|
Short answer: say Y.

menuconfig NETFILTER
|
|
bool "Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)"
|
|
---help---
|
|
Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
|
|
that pass through your Linux box.
|
|
|
|
The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as
|
|
a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of
|
|
firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet
|
|
filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets
|
|
based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall,
|
|
a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more
|
|
bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more
|
|
closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level
|
|
protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based
|
|
firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local
|
|
clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but
|
|
they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if
|
|
you say Y here.
|
|
|
|
You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as
|
|
the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without
|
|
globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one
|
|
of the computers on your local network wants to send something to
|
|
the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it
|
|
forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but
|
|
modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the
|
|
firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host
|
|
replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the
|
|
correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net
|
|
are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can
|
|
reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to
|
|
run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network
|
|
using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often
|
|
called NAT (Network Address Translation).
|
|
|
|
Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on
|
|
the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux
|
|
box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server,
|
|
typically a caching proxy server.
|
|
|
|
Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using
|
|
a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see"
|
|
the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet
|
|
protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter
|
|
configuration).
|
|
|
|
Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous
|
|
masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent
|
|
proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see
|
|
<file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of
|
|
these packages.
