||
The "enviromental" rules for authors of any new tc actions are: | ||
|
||
1) If you stealeth or borroweth any packet thou shalt be branching | ||
from the righteous path and thou shalt cloneth. | ||
|
||
For example if your action queues a packet to be processed later | ||
or intentionaly branches by redirecting a packet then you need to | ||
clone the packet. | ||
There are certain fields in the skb tc_verd that need to be reset so we | ||
avoid loops etc. A few are generic enough so much so that skb_act_clone() | ||
resets them for you. So invoke skb_act_clone() rather than skb_clone() | ||
|
||
2) If you munge any packet thou shalt call pskb_expand_head in the case | ||
someone else is referencing the skb. After that you "own" the skb. | ||
You must also tell us if it is ok to munge the packet (TC_OK2MUNGE), | ||
this way any action downstream can stomp on the packet. | ||
|
||
3) dropping packets you dont own is a nono. You simply return | ||
TC_ACT_SHOT to the caller and they will drop it. | ||
|
||
The "enviromental" rules for callers of actions (qdiscs etc) are: | ||
|
||
*) thou art responsible for freeing anything returned as being | ||
TC_ACT_SHOT/STOLEN/QUEUED. If none of TC_ACT_SHOT/STOLEN/QUEUED is | ||
returned then all is great and you dont need to do anything. | ||
|
||
Post on netdev if something is unclear. | ||
