2016-09-28net/sched: pkt_cls: change tc actions order to be as the user setsHadar Hen Zion
Currently the created tc actions list is reversed against the order set by the user. Change the actions list order to be the same as was set by the user. This patch doesn't affect dump actions behavior. For dumping, action->order parameter is used so the list order doesn't matter.

2016-08-17net_sched: convert tcf_exts from list to pointer arrayWANG Cong
As pointed out by Jamal, an action could be shared by multiple filters, so we can't use list to chain them any more after we get rid of the original tc_action. Instead, we could just save pointers to these actions in tcf_exts, since they are refcount'ed, so convert the list to an array of pointers. The "ugly" part is the action API still accepts list as a parameter, I just introduce a helper function to convert the array of pointers to a list, instead of relying on the C99 feature to iterate the array.

2016-05-16net: cls_u32: Add support for skip-sw flag to tc u32 classifier.Samudrala, Sridhar
On devices that support TC U32 offloads, this flag enables a filter to be added only to HW. skip-sw and skip-hw are mutually exclusive flags. By default without any flags, the filter is added to both HW and SW, but no error checks are done in case of failure to add to HW. With skip-sw, failure to add to HW is treated as an error. Here is a sample script that adds 2 filters, one with skip-sw and the other with skip-hw flag. # add ingress qdisc tc qdisc add dev p4p1 ingress # enable hw tc offload. ethtool -K p4p1 hw-tc-offload on # add u32 filter with skip-sw flag. tc filter add dev p4p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 99 \ handle 800:0:1 u32 ht 800: flowid 800:1 \ skip-sw \ match ip src 192.168.1.0/24 \ action drop # add u32 filter with skip-hw flag. tc filter add dev p4p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 99 \ handle 800:0:2 u32 ht 800: flowid 800:2 \ skip-hw \ match ip src 192.168.2.0/24 \ action drop Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sridhar.samudrala@intel.com> Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-03-01net: sched: cls_u32 add bit to specify software only rulesJohn Fastabend
In the initial implementation the only way to stop a rule from being inserted into the hardware table was via the device feature flag. However this doesn't work well when working on an end host system where packets are expect to hit both the hardware and software datapaths. For example we can imagine a rule that will match an IP address and increment a field. If we install this rule in both hardware and software we may increment the field twice. To date we have only added support for the drop action so we have been able to ignore these cases. But as we extend the action support we will hit this example plus more such cases. Arguably these are not even corner cases in many working systems these cases will be common. To avoid forcing the driver to always abort (i.e. the above example) this patch adds a flag to add a rule in software only. A careful user can use this flag to build software and hardware datapaths that work together. One example we have found particularly useful is to use hardware resources to set the skb->mark on the skb when the match may be expensive to run in software but a mark lookup in a hash table is cheap. The idea here is hardware can do in one lookup what the u32 classifier may need to traverse multiple lists and hash tables to compute. The flag is only passed down on inserts. On deletion to avoid stale references in hardware we always try to remove a rule if it exists. The flags field is part of the classifier specific options. Although it is tempting to lift this into the generic structure doing this proves difficult do to how the tc netlink attributes are implemented along with how the dump/change routines are called. There is also precedence for putting seemingly generic pieces in the specific classifier options such as TCA_U32_POLICE, TCA_U32_ACT, etc. So although not ideal I've left FLAGS in the u32 options as well as it simplifies the code greatly and user space has already learned how to manage these bits ala 'tc' tool. Another thing if trying to update a rule we require the flags to be unchanged. This is to force user space, software u32 and the hardware u32 to keep in sync.

So even if we have a running classifier hit the null class pointer it will do a lookup and get to the same result.

When actions are attached to a filter, they are a part of the filter itself, so when changing a filter we should allow to overwrite the actions inside as well.

This patch checks if we are changing the filter checking NLM_F_CREATE flag (Sigh, filters don't use NLM_F_REPLACE...) and then passes the boolean down to actions. This fixes the problem above.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-07-15[NET_SCHED]: Kill CONFIG_NET_CLS_POLICEPatrick McHardy
The NET_CLS_ACT option is now a full replacement for NET_CLS_POLICE, remove the old code. The config option will be kept around to select the equivalent NET_CLS_ACT options for a short time to allow easier upgrades. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_tArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4 64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN... :-) Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network, mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being meaningful as offsets or pointers.

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_transport_header(skb)Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the places where we need a pointer to the transport header, it is still legal to touch skb->h.raw directly if just adding to, subtracting from or setting it to another layer header. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-03-29[IFB]: Fix crash on input device removalPatrick McHardy
The input_device pointer is not refcounted, which means the device may disappear while packets are queued, causing a crash when ifb passes packets with a stale skb->dev pointer to netif_rx(). Fix by storing the interface index instead and do a lookup where neccessary. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Acked-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@cyberus.ca> Signed-off-by: David S.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
