net/sched: Only allow act_ct to bind to clsact/ingress qdiscs and shared blocks

2026-03-13T16:20:47+00:00

commit 11cb63b0d1a0685e0831ae3c77223e002ef18189 upstream. As Paolo said earlier [1]: "Since the blamed commit below, classify can return TC_ACT_CONSUMED while the current skb being held by the defragmentation engine. As reported by GangMin Kim, if such packet is that may cause a UaF when the defrag engine later on tries to tuch again such packet." act_ct was never meant to be used in the egress path, however some users are attaching it to egress today [2]. Attempting to reach a middle ground, we noticed that, while most qdiscs are not handling TC_ACT_CONSUMED, clsact/ingress qdiscs are. With that in mind, we address the issue by only allowing act_ct to bind to clsact/ingress qdiscs and shared blocks. That way it's still possible to attach act_ct to egress (albeit only with clsact).

net/sched: Add helper macros with module names

2024-02-02T18:57:55+00:00

The macros are preparation for adding module aliases en mass in a separate commit. Although it would be tempting to create aliases like cls-foo for name cls_foo, this could not be used because modprobe utilities treat '-' and '_' interchangeably. In the end, the naming follows pattern of proto modules in linux/net.h.

net/sched: introduce ACT_P_BOUND return code

2024-01-04T02:36:24+00:00

Bound actions always return '0' and as of today we rely on '0' being returned in order to properly skip bound actions in tcf_idr_insert_many. In order to further improve maintainability, introduce the ACT_P_BOUND return code. Actions are updated to return 'ACT_P_BOUND' instead of plain '0'. tcf_idr_insert_many is then updated to check for 'ACT_P_BOUND'.

net/sched: act_api: skip idr replace on bound actions

2023-12-14T01:53:59+00:00

tcf_idr_insert_many will replace the allocated -EBUSY pointer in tcf_idr_check_alloc with the real action pointer, exposing it to all operations. This operation is only needed when the action pointer is created (ACT_P_CREATED). For actions which are bound to (returned 0), the pointer already resides in the idr making such operation a nop. Even though it's a nop, it's still not a cheap operation as internally the idr code walks the idr and then does a replace on the appropriate slot. So if the action was bound, better skip the idr replace entirely.

net/sched: Rename user cookie and act cookie

2023-02-21T00:46:10+00:00

struct tc_action->act_cookie is a user defined cookie, and the related struct flow_action_entry->act_cookie is used as an handle similar to struct flow_cls_offload->cookie. Rename tc_action->act_cookie to user_cookie, and flow_action_entry->act_cookie to cookie so their names would better fit their usage.

act_skbedit: skbedit queue mapping for receive queue

2022-10-25T08:32:40+00:00

Add support for skbedit queue mapping action on receive side. This is supported only in hardware, so the skip_sw flag is enforced. This enables offloading filters for receive queue selection in the hardware using the skbedit action. Traffic arrives on the Rx queue requested in the skbedit action parameter. A new tc action flag TCA_ACT_FLAGS_AT_INGRESS is introduced to identify the traffic direction the action queue_mapping is requested on during filter addition. This is used to disallow offloading the skbedit queue mapping action on transmit side. Example: $tc filter add dev $IFACE ingress protocol ip flower dst_ip $DST_IP\ action skbedit queue_mapping $rxq_id skip_sw Reviewed-by: Sridhar Samudrala Signed-off-by: Amritha Nambiar Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni
