From: Jiri Pirko <j...@mellanox.com> Add the sample tc action, which allows to sample packet matching a classifier. The sample action peeks randomly packets, duplicates them, truncates them and adds informative metadata on the packet, for example, the input interface and the original packet length. The sampled packets are marked to allow matching them and redirecting them to a specific collector device.
The sampled packets metadata is packed using ife encapsulation. To do that, this patch-set extracts ife logics from the tc_ife action into an independent ife module, and uses that functionality to pack the metadata. To include all the needed metadata, this patch-set introduces some new IFE_META tlv types. In addition, Add the support for offloading the macthall-sample tc command in the Mellanox mlxsw driver, for ingress qdiscs. Userspace examples for that code can be found in: - https://github.com/yotamgi/host-sflow: sflow client that uses the sample with combination of tap device to sample packets and send to a centralized sflow collector. - https://github.com/yotamgi/libife: a library for manipulating ife packets in userspace. The library is used in the host-sflow program to parse the sampled packets. --- rfc1->v1: - Change ifindex sampled packets metadatum to in_ifindex and out_ifindex - Add sequence number metadatum to sampled packets - Add sampler_id metadatum to sampled packets - Make the user kernel interface extensible - Move the sampling helper function to the ife module - Fix ife header to be safe when CONFIG_NET_IFE is not set - Made the sampled packets eth_type field mandatory other then optional - Change the IFE_META* fields to be enum - Remove the ife_packet_info struct and pass the parameters directly to the ife_packet_ifo_pack function - Couple of more styling and cosmetic issues Yotam Gigi (8): Introduce ife encapsulation module act_ife: Change to use ife module net: ife: Introduce new metadata tlv types net: ife: Introduce packet info packing method Introduce sample tc action tc: sample: Add sequence number and sampler_id fields mlxsw: reg: add the Monitoring Packet Sampling Configuration Register mlxsw: packet sample: Add packet sample offloading support MAINTAINERS | 7 + drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/reg.h | 38 ++++ drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum.c | 120 +++++++++- drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum.h | 12 + drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/trap.h | 1 + include/net/ife.h | 63 ++++++ include/net/tc_act/tc_ife.h | 3 - include/net/tc_act/tc_sample.h | 74 +++++++ include/uapi/linux/Kbuild | 1 + include/uapi/linux/ife.h | 24 ++ include/uapi/linux/tc_act/Kbuild | 1 + include/uapi/linux/tc_act/tc_ife.h | 10 +- include/uapi/linux/tc_act/tc_sample.h | 29 +++ net/Kconfig | 1 + net/Makefile | 1 + net/ife/Kconfig | 16 ++ net/ife/Makefile | 5 + net/ife/ife.c | 199 +++++++++++++++++ net/sched/Kconfig | 14 ++ net/sched/Makefile | 1 + net/sched/act_ife.c | 109 +++------ net/sched/act_sample.c | 291 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 22 files changed, 923 insertions(+), 97 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/net/ife.h create mode 100644 include/net/tc_act/tc_sample.h create mode 100644 include/uapi/linux/ife.h create mode 100644 include/uapi/linux/tc_act/tc_sample.h create mode 100644 net/ife/Kconfig create mode 100644 net/ife/Makefile create mode 100644 net/ife/ife.c create mode 100644 net/sched/act_sample.c -- 2.7.4
