Move device filtering to the kernel, thereby reducing netlink traffic. The first patch request kernel-side filtering. The second patch removes the old filtering code, as an additional step, which breaks on earlier than Linux v4.6. The third patch requests that the kernel doesn't include statistics in netdevice dumps. This bumps the minimum supported Linux kernel version to v4.6. --- Changes: v4: - Remove #ifdef RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS. - Sync changes to the embeddable C library. - Now that Linux v4.6+ is fine, swap the order of patch 2 and 3. - Dusted of the commit messages a bit. v3: https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2026-January/009471.html - Added patch to set RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS - Re-worked commit messages a bit. v2: https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2025-October/009080.html - Added info about kernel-support to commit message - Added another patch, for removing client-side filtering v1: https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2025-September/009004.html Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen (3): ipc: linux: filter netdevices kernel-side ipc: linux: remove user-space netdevice filtering ipc: linux: skip statistics on netdevice listing contrib/embeddable-wg-library/wireguard.c | 23 +++++++++-------------- src/ipc-linux.h | 23 +++++++++-------------- 2 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) -- 2.53.0
