Suricata creates a pfring cluster with a default ID = 1 when not explicitly configured,
unless the device has prefix 'dna' or 'zc'. Since pf_ring also supports other cards
implementing kernel-bypass (cluster not supported), this is preventing those cards from
running on top of this module. This patch stops suricata on 'pfring_set_cluster' failure
only when error code != PF_RING_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED or cluster ID has not been explicitly
configured.
If vlan is disabled the cluster_flow mode will still take VLAN tags
into account due to using pf_ring's 6-tuple mode.
So this forces to use pf_ring's 5-tuple mode.
Bug #1292
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.
This patch convert pfring to pktacqloop and use the new factorisation
function. This also fixes commmand line parsing of pfring which is now
able to work like af-packet:
- 'suricata -c s.yaml --pfring' start suricata with all interfaces in
conf
- 'suricata -c s.yaml --pfring=eth2' start suricata on eth2
