netfilter buglog - Oct 2009 - [Bug 614] New: support Linux/no-mmu

http://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614

           Summary: support Linux/no-mmu
           Product: iptables
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: iptables
        AssignedTo: laforge at netfilter.org
        ReportedBy: vapier at gentoo.org


Linux systems that lack a MMU cannot call fork().  Fortunately, the only place
in iptables that uses fork() follows it by an exec(), so we can easily convert
the code to vfork().

Since iptables is linux-only anyway, I could imagine we can use vfork
exclusively.
