Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 20:48:33 +0200 From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de> To: <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Cc: jhs@...atatu.com, alexei.starovoitov@...il.com Subject: [PATCH -next 0/5] replace skb tc_verd member with 3 dedicated bit flags This series removes the tc_verd member from sk_buff and uses 3 new flag bits instead. It is on top of http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/467186/ (tc: remove unused redirect ttl) from Alexei. The patch set tries to not affect tc inner workings. I tested a few scenarios, namely: - htb on egress - netem attached to ifb with mirred redirect from ingress qdisc - mirred to different device - bogus packet reclassify loop All of that works as expected (i.e. in last case most packets are dropped). motivation is two-fold: 1) provide better documentation as to what tc_verd is used for and try to move some flag set/clear operations into sch_ingress 2) provide a way to reduce skb size by 8 bytes (s/u16 mac_len/u8 mac_len/ would result in two 2 byte and one 4 byte hole, i.e. 8 byte reduction with minor reshuffling).
