[PATCH net-next,v2 0/4] flow_offload: update mangle action representation

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

 



This patch updates the mangle action representation:

Patch 1) Undo bitwise NOT operation on the mangle mask (coming from tc
         pedit userspace).

Patch 2) mangle value &= mask from the front-end side.

Patch 3) adjust offset, length and coalesce consecutive pedit keys into
         one single action.

Patch 4) add support for payload mangling for netfilter.

After this patchset:

* Offset to payload does not need to be on the 32-bits boundaries anymore.
  This patchset adds front-end code to adjust the offset and length coming
  from the tc pedit representation, so drivers get an exact header field
  offset and length.

* This new front-end code coalesces consecutive pedit actions into one
  single action, so drivers can mangle IPv6 and ethernet address fields
  in one go, instead once for each 32-bit word.

On the driver side, diffstat -t shows that drivers code to deal with
payload mangling gets simplified:

        INSERTED,DELETED,MODIFIED,FILENAME
        46,116,0,drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/cxgb4_tc_flower.c (-70 LOC)
        12,28,0,drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/cxgb4_tc_flower.h (-16 LOC)
        30,60,0,drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_tc.c (-30 LOC)
        89,111,0,drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/flower/action.c (-17 LOC)

While, on the front-end side the balance is the following:

	123,22,0,net/sched/cls_api.c (+101 LOC)

Changes since v1:

* Fix missing flow_action->num_entries adjustment from tc_setup_flow_action()
  reported by Vlad Buslov.
* Action entry ID in netfilter payload mangling action was not properly set.
* Fix incorrect p_exact[] assignment logic in nfp_fl_set_helper().

Please, apply.
