Hello.
Here comes the patch thats makes possible to use ipset
directly in ip rule (policy routing).
This makes such configuration easier, because
there is no need to have:
iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -m set --set ... -j MARK --set-mark 1
ip rule add fwmark 1 lookup 1
Additionaly, it fixes issue with wrong src addr for unconnected
protocols such as UDP, ICMP...

Brief question to google confirms that few people might have
interest in this patch.

ftp://borg.uu3.net/home/borg/patch/iproute2+ipset.patch
To install the patch, first you need to patch kernel using
ipset (4.5 preffered). Then, you apply this patch.
Additionaly, you need to patch iproute2 to use new match:
ip route add ipset <name> src|dst lookup <n>
The place for this is IPSET webpage I belive, but I mailing
it here because I have few concerns:
- Now this patch needs IPSET to be compiled into kernel (no modules)
I would like to fix it
- I had to add 2 new function to API of IPSET, and so I probably
doing something wrong.
- Patch is conditional: CONFIG_IP_NF_SET
except in 2 places:
size_t payload = NLMSG_ALIGN(sizeof(struct fib_rule_hdr))
enum { ... } // FRA_* defs
Not sure if this is correct way.
Sorry that patch is agaist old kernel. I just needed it fast
for monday and this one is run on 2 production boxes I need
this feature.
One box is already patched and is running fine (non SMP host).
No issues so far. I will compare CPU usage after roughty 24 hrs.
Second box is SMP and I will try to patch it ASAP.
Regards,
Borg
