net sched actions: Add support for user cookies

2017-01-25T17:37:04Z

Introduce optional 128-bit action cookie. Like all other cookie schemes in the networking world (eg in protocols like http or existing kernel fib protocol field, etc) the idea is to save user state that when retrieved serves as a correlator. The kernel _should not_ intepret it. The user can store whatever they wish in the 128 bits. Sample exercise(showing variable length use of cookie) .. create an accept action with cookie a1b2c3d4 sudo $TC actions add action ok index 1 cookie a1b2c3d4 .. dump all gact actions.. sudo $TC -s actions ls action gact action order 0: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 1 bind 0 installed 5 sec used 5 sec Action statistics: Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 cookie a1b2c3d4 .. bind the accept action to a filter.. sudo $TC filter add dev lo parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 \ u32 match ip dst 127.0.0.1/32 flowid 1:1 action gact index 1 ... send some traffic.. $ ping 127.0.0.1 -c 3 PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.020 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.027 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms Signed-off-by: David S.

net_sched: gen_estimator: complete rewrite of rate estimators

2016-12-05T20:21:59Z

1) Old code was hard to maintain, due to complex lock chains. (We probably will be able to remove some kfree_rcu() in callers) 2) Using a single timer to update all estimators does not scale. 3) Code was buggy on 32bit kernel (WRITE_ONCE() on 64bit quantity is not supposed to work well) In this rewrite : - I removed the RB tree that had to be scanned in gen_estimator_active(). qdisc dumps should be much faster. - Each estimator has its own timer. - Estimations are maintained in net_rate_estimator structure, instead of dirtying the qdisc. Minor, but part of the simplification. - Reading the estimator uses RCU and a seqcount to provide proper support for 32bit kernels. - We reduce memory need when estimators are not used, since we store a pointer, instead of the bytes/packets counters. - xt_rateest_mt() no longer has to grab a spinlock. (In the future, xt_rateest_tg() could be switched to per cpu counters) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/sched: act_mirred: Add new tc_action_ops get_dev()

2016-12-02T18:28:36Z

Adding support to a new tc_action_ops. get_dev is a general option which allows to get the underline device when trying to offload a tc rule. In case of mirred action the returned device is the mirred (egress) device. Signed-off-by: Hadar Hen Zion Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net_sched: convert tcf_exts from list to pointer array

2016-08-17T23:27:51Z

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.

net_sched: get rid of struct tcf_common

2016-07-26T04:49:20Z

After the previous patch, struct tc_action should be enough to represent the generic tc action, tcf_common is not necessary any more. This patch gets rid of it to make tc action code more readable. Cc: Jamal Hadi Salim Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net_sched: move tc_action into tcf_common

2016-07-26T04:49:19Z

struct tc_action is confusing, currently we use it for two purposes: 1) Pass in arguments and carry out results from helper functions 2) A generic representation for tc actions The first one is error-prone, since we need to make sure we don't miss anything. This patch aims to get rid of this use, by moving tc_action into tcf_common, so that they are allocated together in hashtable and can be cast'ed easily. And together with the following patch, we could really make tc_action a generic representation for all tc actions and each type of action can inherit from it.

mlxsw: spectrum: Fix compilation error when CLS_ACT isn't set

2016-07-26T00:57:33Z

When CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT isn't set 'struct tcf_exts' has no member named 'actions' and we therefore must not access it. Otherwise compilation fails. Fix this by introducing a new macro similar to tc_no_actions(), which always returns 'false' if CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT isn't set.
