From: Jiri Pirko <j...@mellanox.com> Currently the filters added to qdiscs are independent. So for example if you have 2 netdevices and you create ingress qdisc on both and you want to add identical filter rules both, you need to add them twice. This patchset makes this easier and mainly saves resources allowing to share all filters within a qdisc - I call it a "filter block". Also this helps to save resources when we do offload to hw for example to expensive TCAM.
So back to the example. First, we create 2 qdiscs. Both will share block number 22. "22" is just an identification. If we don't pass any block number, a new one will be generated by kernel: $ tc qdisc add dev ens7 ingress block 22 ^^^^^^^^ $ tc qdisc add dev ens8 ingress block 22 ^^^^^^^^ Now if we list the qdiscs, we will see the block index in the output: $ tc qdisc qdisc ingress ffff: dev ens7 parent ffff:fff1 block 22 qdisc ingress ffff: dev ens8 parent ffff:fff1 block 22 Now we can add filter to any of qdiscs sharing the same block: $ tc filter add dev ens7 ingress protocol ip pref 25 flower dst_ip 192.168.0.0/16 action drop We will see the same output if we list filters for ens7 and ens8, including stats: $ tc -s filter show dev ens7 ingress filter protocol ip pref 25 flower chain 0 filter protocol ip pref 25 flower chain 0 handle 0x1 eth_type ipv4 dst_ip 192.168.0.0/16 not_in_hw action order 1: gact action drop random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 1 bind 1 installed 39 sec used 2 sec Action statistics: Sent 3108 bytes 37 pkt (dropped 37, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 $ tc -s filter show dev ens8 ingress filter protocol ip pref 25 flower chain 0 filter protocol ip pref 25 flower chain 0 handle 0x1 eth_type ipv4 dst_ip 192.168.0.0/16 not_in_hw action order 1: gact action drop random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 1 bind 1 installed 40 sec used 3 sec Action statistics: Sent 3108 bytes 37 pkt (dropped 37, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 --- v1->v2: -patch 4: - fix binder_type to check "egress" as well as pointed out by Daniel -patch 1: - new patch due to rebase (another tp->q usage appeared) -patch 7-10: - new patches to offload shared blocks in mlxsw *** BLURB HERE *** Jiri Pirko (10): cls_bpf: move prog offload->netdev check into drivers net: sched: introduce support for multiple filter chain pointers registration net: sched: avoid usage of tp->q in tcf_classify net: sched: introduce block mechanism to handle netif_keep_dst calls net: sched: remove classid and q fields from tcf_proto net: sched: allow ingress and clsact qdiscs to share filter blocks mlxsw: spectrum_acl: Reshuffle code around mlxsw_sp_acl_ruleset_create/destroy mlxsw: spectrum_acl: Don't store netdev and ingress for ruleset unbind mlxsw: spectrum_acl: Implement TC block sharing mlxsw: spectrum_acl: Pass mlxsw_sp_port down to ruleset bind/unbind ops drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum.c | 146 +++++++-- drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum.h | 38 ++- drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_acl.c | 283 +++++++++++++----- .../ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_acl_tcam.c | 44 ++- .../net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_flower.c | 41 ++- drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/bpf/main.c | 2 + include/linux/bpf.h | 16 + include/net/pkt_cls.h | 4 + include/net/sch_generic.h | 9 +- include/uapi/linux/pkt_sched.h | 11 + kernel/bpf/syscall.c | 39 ++- net/sched/cls_api.c | 328 ++++++++++++++++++--- net/sched/cls_bpf.c | 10 +- net/sched/cls_flow.c | 2 +- net/sched/cls_route.c | 2 +- net/sched/sch_ingress.c | 89 +++++- 16 files changed, 851 insertions(+), 213 deletions(-) -- 2.9.5
