Subject: [RFC] ethtool: raw packet filtering
Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2023 11:23:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <459ef75b-69dc-4baa-b7e4-6393b0b358ce@intel.com> (raw)
Hello,
We are planning to send a patch series that enables raw packet filtering
for ice and iavf. However, ethtool currently allows raw filtering on
only 8 bytes via "user-def":
# ethtool -N eth0 flow-type user-def N [m N] action N
We are seeking the community's opinion on how to extend the ntuple
interface to allow for up to 512 bytes of raw packet filtering. The
direct approach is:
# ethtool -N eth0 flow-type raw-fltr N [m N] action N
where N would be allowed to be 512 bytes. Would that be acceptable? Any
concerns regarding netlink or other user-space/kernel comm?
Thank you.
