Bug #939: thread name buffers are sized inconsistently
These buffers are now all fixed at 16 bytes.
Bug #914: Having a high number of pickup queues (216+) makes suricata crash
Fixed so that we can now have 256 pickup queues, which is the current built-in
maximum. Improved the error reporting.
Bug #928: Max number of threads
Error reporting improved. Issue was the same as #914.
This patch adds the 'auto', 'autofp' and 'worker' runmode for
IPS. It provides a set of ready-to-use functions that can be
used by NFQ and IPFW to implement this running mode.
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.
Previous commits have considerabily empowered the "single" mode which
could contain multiple threads. This behaviour was not a target for
this runmode and the following patch remedies to the situation by
introducing the "workers" mode where each thread do all the tasks
from acquisition to logging. This runmode is currently implemented
for af-packet and pf-ring.
