Ok, let's do that, but I doubt sizeof(int) can be different than 4 on a
Linux 2.6 host right now.
I prefer not doing the !!info->invert, and do the check only once.
Thanks
[PATCH nf-next-2.6] netfilter: add xt_cpu match
In some situations a CPU match permits a better spreading of
connections, or select targets only for a given cpu.
With Remote Packet Steering or multiqueue NIC and appropriate IRQ
affinities, we can distribute trafic on available cpus, per session.
(all RX packets for a given flow is handled by a given cpu)
Some legacy applications being not SMP friendly, one way to scale a
server is to run multiple copies of them.
Instead of randomly choosing an instance, we can use the cpu number as a
key so that softirq handler for a whole instance is running on a single
cpu, maximizing cache effects in TCP/UDP stacks.
Using NAT for example, a four ways machine might run four copies of
server application, using a separate listening port for each instance,
but still presenting an unique external port :
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 0 \
-j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 1 \
-j REDIRECT --to-port 8081
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 2 \
-j REDIRECT --to-port 8082
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 3 \
-j REDIRECT --to-port 8083
