[PATCH net-next 00/12] netfilter: add hardware offload infrastructure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This patchset adds support for Netfilter hardware offloads.

This patchset reuses the existing block infrastructure, the
netdev_ops->ndo_setup_tc() interface, TC_SETUP_CLSFLOWER classifier and
the flow rule API.

Patch #1 moves tcf_block_cb code before the indirect block
	 infrastructure to avoid forward declarations in the next
	 patches. This is just a preparation patch.

Patch #2 adds tcf_block_cb_alloc() to allocate flow block callbacks.

Patch #3 adds tcf_block_cb_free() to release flow block callbacks.

Patch #4 adds the tcf_block_setup() infrastructure, which allows drivers
         to set up flow block callbacks. This infrastructure transports
         these objects via list (through the tc_block_offload object)
	 back to the core for registration.

            CLS_API                           DRIVER
        TC_SETUP_BLOCK    ---------->  setup flow_block_cb object &
                                 it adds object to flow_block_offload->cb_list
                                                |
            CLS_API     <-----------------------'
           registers                     list if flow block
         flow_block_cb &                   travels back to
       calls ->reoffload               the core for registration

Patch #5 extends tcf_block_cb_alloc() to allow drivers to set a release
	 callback that is invoked from tcf_block_cb_free() to release
         private driver block information.

Patch #6 adds tcf_setup_block_offload(), this helper function is used by
         most drivers to setup the block, including common bind and
         unbind operations.

Patch #7 adapts drivers to use the infrastructure introduced in Patch #4.

Patch #8 stops exposing the tc block structure to drivers, by caching
	 the only information that drivers need, ie. block is shared
	 flag.

Patch #9 removes the tcf_block_cb_register() / _unregister()
	 infrastructure, since it is now unused after Patch #7.

Patch #10 moves the flow_block API to the net/core/flow_offload.c core.
          This renames tcf_block_cb to flow_block_cb as well as the
	  functions to allocate, release, lookup and setup flow block
	  callbacks.

Patch #11 makes sure that only one flow block callback per device is
          possible by now. This means only one of the ethtool / tc /
          netfilter subsystems can use hardware offloads, until drivers
	  are updated to remove this limitation.

Patch #12 introduces basic netfilter hardware offload infrastructure
	  for the ingress chain. This includes 5-tuple matching and
          accept / drop actions. Only basechains are supported at this
          stage, no .reoffload callback is implemented either.

Please, apply, thanks.
