Hello Nicolas, or anyone else affected, Accepted iproute2 into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iproute2/4.3.0-1ubuntu3.16.04.5 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: iproute2 (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags removed: verification-done-xenial ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to iproute2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642514 Title: sched: Match-all classifier is missing in xenial Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in iproute2 source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Xenial: Fix Released Bug description: [SRU Justification] == Impact == The Xenial 4.4 kernel already has a patch applied which implements the matchall filter. But in order to actually use it, iproute2 needs to pick up the user-space side of the implementation. == Fix == Backported a patch from iproute2 upstream which adds the missing support. Tested against the standard 4.4 and the HWE kernel in 16.04 (see testcase). == Risk of Regression == This adds a new filter type which has to be actively selected. This should not impact existing uses. So low. == Testcase == ip link add dev dummy0 type dummy ip link add dev dummy1 type dummy ip link set dev dummy0 up ip link set dev dummy1 up tc qdisc add dev dummy0 handle 1: root prio tc filter add dev dummy0 parent 1: matchall skip_hw action mirred egress mirror dev dummy1 at this point, "tc filter show dev dummy0" should spit out something like: filter parent 1: protocol all pref 49152 matchall filter parent 1: protocol all pref 49152 matchall handle 0x1 action order 1: mirred (Egress Mirror to device dummy1) pipe index 1 ref 1 bind 1 and the functionality can be tested via tcpdump -n -i dummy1 & ping -I dummy0 1.2.3.4 --- This is implemented in linux v4.8 by the following upstream patch: bf3994d2ed31 ("net/sched: introduce Match-all classifier") http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bf3994d2ed31 The backport is straightforward. It's useful in combination with clsact qdisc (see bug #1642510).
