net sched actions: Complete the JUMPX opcode
per discussion at netconf/netdev: When we have an action that is capable of branching (example a policer), we can achieve a continuation of the action graph by programming a "continue" where we find an exact replica of the same filter rule with a lower priority and the remainder of the action graph. When you have 100s of thousands of filters which require such a feature it gets very inefficient to do two lookups. This patch completes a leftover feature of action codes. Its time has come. Example below where a user labels packets with a different skbmark on ingress of a port depending on whether they have/not exceeded the configured rate. This mark is then used to make further decisions on some egress port. #rate control, very low so we can easily see the effect sudo $TC actions add action police rate 1kbit burst 90k \ conform-exceed pipe/jump 2 index 10 # skbedit index 11 will be used if the user conforms sudo $TC actions add action skbedit mark 11 ok index 11 # skbedit index 12 will be used if the user does not conform sudo $TC actions add action skbedit mark 12 ok index 12 #lets bind the user .. sudo $TC filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: protocol ip prio 8 u32 \ match ip dst 127.0.0.8/32 flowid 1:10 \ action police index 10 \ action skbedit index 11 \ action skbedit index 12 #run a ping -f and see what happens.. # jhs@foobar:~$ sudo $TC -s filter ls dev $ETH parent ffff: protocol ip filter pref 8 u32 filter pref 8 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1 filter pref 8 u32 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:10 (rule hit 2800 success 1005) match 7f000008/ffffffff at 16 (success 1005 ) action order 1: police 0xa rate 1Kbit burst 23440b mtu 2Kb action pipe/jump 2 overhead 0b ref 2 bind 1 installed 207 sec used 122 sec Action statistics: Sent 84420 bytes 1005 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 721 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 action order 2: skbedit mark 11 pass index 11 ref 2 bind 1 installed 204 sec used 122 sec Action statistics: Sent 60564 bytes 721 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 action order 3: skbedit mark 12 pass index 12 ref 2 bind 1 installed 201 sec used 122 sec Action statistics: Sent 23856 bytes 284 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 Not bad, about 28% non-conforming packets..
