2016-07-26net_sched: get rid of struct tcf_commonWANG Cong1-1/+1
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.

2016-07-26net_sched: move tc_action into tcf_commonWANG Cong1-2/+1
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.

2015-08-26net_sched: act_bpf: remove spinlock in fast pathAlexei Starovoitov1-1/+1
Similar to act_gact/act_mirred, act_bpf can be lockless in packet processing with extra care taken to free bpf programs after rcu grace period. Replacement of existing act_bpf (very rare) is done with synchronize_rcu() and final destruction is done from tc_action_ops->cleanup() callback that is called from tcf_exts_destroy()->tcf_action_destroy()->__tcf_hash_release() when bind and refcnt reach zero which is only possible when classifier is destroyed. Previous two patches fixed the last two classifiers (tcindex and rsvp) to call tcf_exts_destroy() from rcu callback. Similar to gact/mirred there is a race between prog->filter and prog->tcf_action. Meaning that the program being replaced may use previous default action if it happened to return TC_ACT_UNSPEC. act_mirred race betwen tcf_action and tcfm_dev is similar. In all cases the race is harmless. Long term we may want to improve the situation by replacing the whole tc_action->priv as single pointer instead of updating inner fields one by one.

2015-03-21act_bpf: add initial eBPF support for actionsDaniel Borkmann1-1/+5
This work extends the "classic" BPF programmable tc action by extending its scope also to native eBPF code! Together with commit e2e9b6541dd4 ("cls_bpf: add initial eBPF support for programmable classifiers") this adds the facility to implement fully flexible classifier and actions for tc that can be implemented in a C subset in user space, "safely" loaded into the kernel, and being run in native speed when JITed. Also, since eBPF maps can be shared between eBPF programs, it offers the possibility that cls_bpf and act_bpf can share data 1) between themselves and 2) between user space applications. That means that, f.e. customized runtime statistics can be collected in user space, but also more importantly classifier and action behaviour could be altered based on map input from the user space application. For the remaining details on the workflow and integration, see the cls_bpf commit e2e9b6541dd4. Preliminary iproute2 part can be found under [1].
