From: Jamal Hadi Salim <j...@mojatatu.com> actions could change the etherproto in particular with ethernet tunnelled data. Typically such actions, after peeling the outer header, will ask for the packet to be reclassified. We then need to restart the classification with the new proto header.
Example setup used to catch this: sudo tc qdisc add dev $ETH ingress sudo $TC filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: pref 1 protocol 802.1Q \ u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:1 \ action vlan pop reclassify Fixes: 3b3ae880266d ("net: sched: consolidate tc_classify{,_compat}") Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <j...@mojatatu.com> --- net/sched/sch_api.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/sched/sch_api.c b/net/sched/sch_api.c index b5c2cf2..22ab634 100644 --- a/net/sched/sch_api.c +++ b/net/sched/sch_api.c @@ -1818,13 +1818,14 @@ done: int tc_classify(struct sk_buff *skb, const struct tcf_proto *tp, struct tcf_result *res, bool compat_mode) { - __be16 protocol = tc_skb_protocol(skb); #ifdef CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT - const struct tcf_proto *old_tp = tp; int limit = 0; +#endif + const struct tcf_proto *old_tp = tp; + __be16 protocol; reclassify: -#endif + protocol = tc_skb_protocol(skb); for (; tp; tp = rcu_dereference_bh(tp->next)) { int err; -- 1.9.1
