This patch introduces 'snaplen' a new YAML variable in the pcap section.
It can be set per-interface to force pcap capture snaplen. If not set
it defaults to interface MTU if MTU can be known via a ioctl call and to
full capture if not.
When handling error case on SCMallog, SCCalloc or SCStrdup
we are in an unlikely case. This patch adds the unlikely()
expression to indicate this to gcc.
This patch has been obtained via coccinelle. The transformation
is the following:
@istested@
identifier x;
statement S1;
identifier func =~ "(SCMalloc|SCStrdup|SCCalloc)";
@@
x = func(...)
... when != x
- if (x == NULL) S1
+ if (unlikely(x == NULL)) S1
clang was issuing some warnings related to unused return in function.
This patch adds some needed error treatment and ignore the rest of the
warnings by adding a cast to void.
Some cards like Napatech or Myricom support libpcap wrappers that allow for
multiple streams, queues, ringbuffers. The workers mode can be of use in
those cases.
This patch fixes initialization of a pointer. The lack of it was
causing an invalid interface value to be given to suricata (in
the case no interface was given on the command line).

This patch modifies the RunModeSetLiveCaptureAuto() prototype to
be able to detect that a 'threads' variable (telling how much
threads must listen to one socket in IDS mode) has been used
in the configuration file. It then print a warning message
if this is the case.
A devide configuration can be used by multiple threads. It is thus
necessary to wait that all threads stop using the configuration before
freeing it. This patch introduces an atomic counter and a free function
which has to be called by each thread when it will not use anymore
the structure. If the configuration is not used anymore, it is freed
by the free function.
