net: sched: introduce multichain support for filters
Currently, each classful qdisc holds one chain of filters.
This chain is traversed and each filter could be matched on, which
may lead to execution of list of actions. One of such action
could be "reclassify", which would "reset" the processing of the
filter chain.
So this filter chain could be looked at as a flat table.
Sometimes it is convenient for user to configure a hierarchy
of tables. Example usecase is encapsulation.
Hierarchy of tables is a common way how it is done in HW pipelines.
So it is much more convenient to offload this.
This patchset contains two major patches:
8/10 - This patch introduces the support for having multiple
chains of filters.
10/10 - This patch adds new control action to allow going to specified chain
The rest of the patches are smaller or bigger depencies of those 2.
Please see individual patch descriptions for details.
Corresponding iproute2 patches are appended as a reply to this cover letter.
Simple example:
$ tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress
$ tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip pref 33 flower dst_mac 52:54:00:3d:c7:6d action goto chain 11
$ tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip pref 22 chain 11 flower dst_ip 192.168.40.1 action drop
$ tc filter show dev eth0 root
filter parent ffff: protocol ip pref 33 flower chain 0
filter parent ffff: protocol ip pref 33 flower chain 0 handle 0x1
dst_mac 52:54:00:3d:c7:6d
eth_type ipv4
action order 1: gact action goto chain 11
random type none pass val 0
index 2 ref 1 bind 1
filter parent ffff: protocol ip pref 22 flower chain 11
filter parent ffff: protocol ip pref 22 flower chain 11 handle 0x1
eth_type ipv4
dst_ip 192.168.40.1
action order 1: gact action drop
random type none pass val 0
index 3 ref 1 bind 1

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
