.. add a drop action $sudo $TC actions add action drop index 10 .. retrieve it $ sudo $TC -s actions get action gact index 10 action order 1: gact action drop random type none pass val 0 index 10 ref 2 bind 0 installed 29 sec used 29 sec Action statistics: Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 ... bug 1 above: reference is two. Reference is actually 1 but we forget to subtract 1. ... do a GET again and we see the same issue try a few times and nothing changes ~$ sudo $TC -s actions get action gact index 10 action order 1: gact action drop random type none pass val 0 index 10 ref 2 bind 0 installed 31 sec used 31 sec Action statistics: Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 ... lets try to bind the action to a filter.. $ sudo $TC qdisc add dev lo ingress $ 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 10 ... and now a few GETs: $ sudo $TC -s actions get action gact index 10 action order 1: gact action drop random type none pass val 0 index 10 ref 3 bind 1 installed 204 sec used 204 sec Action statistics: Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 $ sudo $TC -s actions get action gact index 10 action order 1: gact action drop random type none pass val 0 index 10 ref 4 bind 1 installed 206 sec used 206 sec Action statistics: Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 $ sudo $TC -s actions get action gact index 10 action order 1: gact action drop random type none pass val 0 index 10 ref 5 bind 1 installed 235 sec used 235 sec Action statistics: Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 .... as can be observed the reference count keeps going up.
