Re: [PATCH] ebtables: Port ebt_[u]log.c to nf[netlink]_log

Hi Bart!

The patch below is totally untested (though it compiles), and updates
ebtables to resemble the behaviour that we now have in ipv4 (and ipv6):
{ip,ip6,eb}tables just tell the nf_log core that they want to log a
packet, the mechanism (syslog, nfnetlink_log, ...) is actually decided
by nf_log.

By default, everything will behave like before.

Please review, and test that ebt_log and ebt_ulog are still working as
expected.  Thanks!

[NETFILTER] ebtables: Port ebt_[u]log.c to nf[netlink]_log

Since we now have a netfilter core logging API, we port the bridging log
and ulog watchers to this new API.

This basically means that if you use the "ebt_log" watcher, it will by
default log to the system console, but enables a userspace logging daemon
binds itself to PF_BRIDGE, and take over all logging.

ebt_ulog also registers itself as logger with nf_log, but any packets
explicitly send to ebt_ulog will always use the ulog mechanism and not
handled via the generic logging handler.

This change resembles the situation that is now present in ipv4.

I seem to be unable to get Davem's current git tree.
This fails miserably: 
cg-clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.git

Your patch won't apply to 2.6.13. At first I thought it was a problem
with evolution or the kernel version, but looking at the source code of
your mail, I see "=20" added here and there...

Any ideas?

cheers,
Bart
