Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next v2] tc/skbmod: Introduce SKBMOD_F_ECN option
From: Peilin Ye <peilin.ye@...edance.com>
Recently we added SKBMOD_F_ECN option support to the kernel; support it in
the tc-skbmod(8) front end, and update its man page accordingly.
The 2 least significant bits of the Traffic Class field in IPv4 and IPv6
headers are used to represent different ECN states [1]:
0b00: "Non ECN-Capable Transport", Non-ECT
0b10: "ECN Capable Transport", ECT(0)
0b01: "ECN Capable Transport", ECT(1)
0b11: "Congestion Encountered", CE
This new option, "ecn", marks ECT(0) and ECT(1) IPv{4,6} packets as CE,
which is useful for ECN-based rate limiting. For example:
$ tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 10 \
u32 match ip protocol 1 0xff flowid 1:2 \
action skbmod \
ecn
The updated tc-skbmod SYNOPSIS looks like the following:
tc ... action skbmod { set SETTABLE | swap SWAPPABLE | ecn } ...
Only one of "set", "swap" or "ecn" shall be used in a single tc-skbmod
command. Trying to use more than one of them at a time is considered
undefined behavior; pipe multiple tc-skbmod commands together instead.
"set" and "swap" only affect Ethernet packets, while "ecn" only affects
IP packets.
Depends on kernel patch "net/sched: act_skbmod: Add SKBMOD_F_ECN option
support", as well as iproute2 patch "tc/skbmod: Remove misinformation
about the swap action".

Hi David,
Rebased on iproute2-next, should hunk now; thank you!
There will be a conflict next time you merge iproute2 into iproute2-next
because of this commit:
"tc/skbmod: Remove misinformation about the swap action"
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git/commit/?id=c06d313d86c1acb8dd72589816301853ff5a4ac4
Please just ignore its code change since it is now superseded by this v2.
Thanks!
Peilin Ye
Change since v1:
- rebased on iproute2-next (David)
