Subject: [PATCH net] ixgbe: fix parsing of TC actions for HW offload
Date: Mon, 28 May 2018 18:39:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180528163913.16315-1-ohlavaty@redhat.com> (raw)
The previous code was optimistic, accepting the offload of whole action
chain when there was a single known action (drop/redirect). This results
in offloading a rule which should not be offloaded, because its behavior
cannot be reproduced in the hardware.
For example:
$ tc filter add dev eno1 parent ffff: protocol ip \
u32 ht 800: order 1 match tcp src 42 FFFF \
action mirred egress mirror dev enp1s16 pipe \
drop
The controller is unable to mirror the packet to a VF, but still
offloads the rule by dropping the packet.
Change the approach of the function to a pessimistic one, rejecting the
chain when an unknown action is found. This is better suited for future
extensions.
Note that both recognized actions always return TC_ACT_SHOT, therefore
it is safe to ignore actions behind them.
