act_bpf: properly support late binding of bpf action to a classifier
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since the introduction of the BPF action in d23b8ad ("tc: add BPF
based action"), late binding was not working as expected. I.e. setting
the action part for a classifier only via 'bpf index <num>', where <num>
is the index of an existing action, is being rejected by the kernel due
to other missing parameters.

It doesn't make sense to require these parameters such as BPF opcodes
etc, as they are not going to be used anyway: in this case, they're just
allocated/parsed and then freed again w/o doing anything meaningful.

Instead, parse and verify the remaining parameters *after* the test on
tcf_hash_check(), when we really know that we're dealing with creation
of a new action or replacement of an existing one and where late binding
is thus irrelevant.

After patch, test case is now working:

  FOO="1,6 0 0 4294967295,"
  tc actions add action bpf bytecode "$FOO"
  tc filter add dev foo parent 1: bpf bytecode "$FOO" flowid 1:1 action bpf index 1
  tc actions show action bpf
    action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967295' default-action pipe
    index 1 ref 2 bind 1
  tc filter show dev foo
    filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf
    filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0x1 flowid 1:1 bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967295'
    action order 1: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967295' default-action pipe
    index 1 ref 2 bind 1

Late binding of a BPF action can be useful for preloading maps (e.g. before
they hit traffic) in case of eBPF programs, or to share a single eBPF action
with multiple classifiers.
