Hello,
i was looking at ipfw dynamic code for dynamic states/rules and see that it
unconditionally schedules a callout even if there is not work to do.
Wouldn't it be best to reschedule it when there is something to do to avoid
having a useless
callout/event run every time on the system?
Is there any complication i am missing on it!
I thought about the same (and possibly not allocating dynamic hash at
all if we have no dynamic rules) while rewriting dynamic code.
The main "problem" is to reliably determine if we have dynamic rules in
our ruleset.
Rule checking probably can be done via adding additional argument to
check_ipfw_struct(), however the rest can be a bit more complicated
since we can delete more that one rule (or set with bunch of rules) at once.
