Title:
[zesty] net sched actions - Adding support for user cookies
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Zesty:
Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in aa-series:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Adding optional 128-bit action cookie.
The idea is to save user state that when retrieved serves as a correlator.
The kernel _should not_ interpret it. The user can store whatever they wish in
the 128 bits like persistent data, http or existing kernel fib protocol field,
etc.
Sample exercise(showing variable length use of cookie)
.. create an accept action with cookie a1b2c3d4
sudo $TC actions add action ok index 1 cookie a1b2c3d4
.. dump all gact actions..
sudo $TC -s actions ls action gact
action order 0: gact action pass
random type none pass val 0
index 1 ref 1 bind 0 installed 5 sec used 5 sec
Action statistics:
Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
cookie a1b2c3d4
.. bind the accept action to a filter..
sudo $TC filter add dev lo parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 \
u32 match ip dst 127.0.0.1/32 flowid 1:1 action gact index 1
... send some traffic..
$ ping 127.0.0.1 -c 3
PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
