net/sched: act_gate: snapshot parameters with RCU on replace

2026-03-25T10:03:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 62413a9c3cb183afb9bb6e94dd68caf4e4145f4c ] The gate action can be replaced while the hrtimer callback or dump path is walking the schedule list. Convert the parameters to an RCU-protected snapshot and swap updates under tcf_lock, freeing the previous snapshot via call_rcu(). When REPLACE omits the entry list, preserve the existing schedule so the effective state is unchanged.

net/sched: act_ife: Fix metalist update behavior

[ Upstream commit e2cedd400c3ec0302ffca2490e8751772906ac23 ] Whenever an ife action replace changes the metalist, instead of replacing the old data on the metalist, the current ife code is appending the new metadata.

net/sched: act_pedit: really ensure the skb is writable

2022-05-11T22:06:42+00:00

Currently pedit tries to ensure that the accessed skb offset is writable via skb_unclone(). The action potentially allows touching any skb bytes, so it may end-up modifying shared data. The above causes some sporadic MPTCP self-test failures, due to this code: tc -n $ns2 filter add dev ns2eth$i egress \ protocol ip prio 1000 \ handle 42 fw \ action pedit munge offset 148 u8 invert \ pipe csum tcp \ index 100 The above modifies a data byte outside the skb head and the skb is a cloned one, carrying a TCP output packet. This change addresses the issue by keeping track of a rough over-estimate highest skb offset accessed by the action and ensuring such offset is really writable. Note that this may cause performance regressions in some scenarios, but hopefully pedit is not in the critical path.

net: sched: support hash selecting tx queue

2022-04-19T10:20:45+00:00

This patch allows users to pick queue_mapping, range from A to B. Then we can load balance packets from A to B tx queue. The range is an unsigned 16bit value in decimal format. $ tc filter ... action skbedit queue_mapping skbhash A B "skbedit queue_mapping QUEUE_MAPPING" (from "man 8 tc-skbedit") is enhanced with flags: SKBEDIT_F_TXQ_SKBHASH +----+ +----+ +----+ | P1 | | P2 | | Pn | +----+ +----+ +----+ | | | +-----------+-----------+ | | clsact/skbedit | MQ v +-----------+-----------+ | q0 | qn | qm v v v HTB/FQ FIFO ... FIFO For example: If P1 sends out packets to different Pods on other host, and we want distribute flows from qn - qm. Then we can use skb->hash as hash. setup commands: $ NETDEV=eth0 $ ip netns add n1 $ ip link add ipv1 link $NETDEV type ipvlan mode l2 $ ip link set ipv1 netns n1 $ ip netns exec n1 ifconfig ipv1 2.2.2.100/24 up $ tc qdisc add dev $NETDEV clsact $ tc filter add dev $NETDEV egress protocol ip prio 1 \ flower skip_hw src_ip 2.2.2.100 action skbedit queue_mapping skbhash 2 6 $ tc qdisc add dev $NETDEV handle 1: root mq $ tc qdisc add dev $NETDEV parent 1:1 handle 2: htb $ tc class add dev $NETDEV parent 2: classid 2:1 htb rate 100kbit $ tc class add dev $NETDEV parent 2: classid 2:2 htb rate 200kbit $ tc qdisc add dev $NETDEV parent 1:2 tbf rate 100mbit burst 100mb latency 1 $ tc qdisc add dev $NETDEV parent 1:3 pfifo $ tc qdisc add dev $NETDEV parent 1:4 pfifo $ tc qdisc add dev $NETDEV parent 1:5 pfifo $ tc qdisc add dev $NETDEV parent 1:6 pfifo $ tc qdisc add dev $NETDEV parent 1:7 pfifo $ ip netns exec n1 iperf3 -c 2.2.2.1 -i 1 -t 10 -P 10 pick txqueue from 2 - 6: $ ethtool -S $NETDEV | grep -i tx_queue_[0-9]_bytes tx_queue_0_bytes: 42 tx_queue_1_bytes: 0 tx_queue_2_bytes: 11442586444 tx_queue_3_bytes: 7383615334 tx_queue_4_bytes: 3981365579 tx_queue_5_bytes: 3983235051 tx_queue_6_bytes: 6706236461 tx_queue_7_bytes: 42 tx_queue_8_bytes: 0 tx_queue_9_bytes: 0 txqueues 2 - 6 are mapped to classid 1:3 - 1:7 $ tc -s class show dev $NETDEV ... class mq 1:3 root leaf 8002: Sent 11949133672 bytes 7929798 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 class mq 1:4 root leaf 8003: Sent 7710449050 bytes 5117279 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 class mq 1:5 root leaf 8004: Sent 4157648675 bytes 2758990 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 class mq 1:6 root leaf 8005: Sent 4159632195 bytes 2759990 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 class mq 1:7 root leaf 8006: Sent 7003169603 bytes 4646912 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 ...
