TCP connection passing, version 4

flat view

From: Werner Almesberger <hidden>

A minor update:

http://www.almesberger.net/tcpcp/tcpcp-4.tar.gz

The main changes are that TCP_KICK has turned into the slightly
more general TCP_CP_FN option, and that I've written down a few
thoughts on "real" checkpointing in doc/README.CHECKPOINTING

The funny thing is that, when I started writing, I suspected that
checkpointing wouldn't really be possible, but then I realized
how it might actually work (okay, with a few hacks, but ... ;-)

The patch is now relative to 2.5.47.

----------------------------------- CHANGES -----------------------------------

Version 4 (15-NOV-2002)
-----------------------

- upgraded to the 2.5.47 kernel
- added doc/README.CHECKPOINTING with a few reflections on how tcpcp could be 
  abused for "real" checkpointing, where the previous connection owner suddenly
  dies
- renamed TCP_KICK to TCP_CP_FN, and added a sub-function code in optval
- renamed tcpcp_kick to tcpcp_activate
