Hi all,
I've started implementing a general cookie for all classifiers,
I added the cookie on tcf_proto struct but then I realized that it won't
work as I want. What I want is cookie per internal element (those that
are identified by handles), which we can have many per one tcf_proto:
tc filter add dev <DEV> parent ffff: prio 1 cookie 0x123 basic action drop
tc filter add dev <DEV> parent ffff: prio 1 cookie 0x456 "port6" basic
action drop
tc filter add dev <DEV> parent ffff: prio 1 cookie 0x777 basic action drop
So there is three options to do that:
1) Implement it in each classifier, using some generic function. (kinda
like stats, where classifiler_dump() calls tcf_exts_dump_stats())
2) Have a global hash table for cookies [prio,handle]->[cookie]
3) Have it on flower only for now :)
With the first one we will have to change each classifier (or leave it
unsupported as default).
Second is less code to change (instead of changing each classifier), but
might be slower. I'm afraid how it will affect dumping several filters.
Third is this patch.
Thanks,
Paul.
