Re: cgroup filter on physics interface can't control container

[Libo Chen <clbchenlibo.chen-hv44wF8Li93QT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

hello guys,

I said before "we can save sk_classid before skb_scrub_packet and
restore it after that"  since skb->sk had been freed in
skb_scrub_packet(), so it is not reasonable. yes?

I have another idea.
commit:f84517253(cls_cgroup: Store classid in struct sock) introduces
sk_classid and put it in skb->sk pointer.  can we put sk_classid form
struct sock to struct sk_buff? then sk_classid will not be affected
by dev_forward_skb()->skb_scrub_packet() ?

any comment are welcome!


thanks,
Libo
