Unknown. I haven't tried it before.

Martin reported a set of filters don't work after changing
from reclassify to continue. Looking into the code, it
looks like skb protocol is not always fetched for each
iteration of the filters. But, as demonstrated by Martin,
TC actions could modify skb->protocol, for example act_vlan,
this means we have to refetch skb protocol in each iteration,
rather than using the one we fetch in the beginning of the loop.

This bug is _not_ introduced by commit 3b3ae880266d
("net: sched: consolidate tc_classify{,_compat}"), technically,
if act_vlan is the only action that modifies skb protocol, then
it is commit c7e2b9689ef8 ("sched: introduce vlan action") which
introduced this bug.


+Cc Lucas
Do we have a test case for a setup like this in tdc?
i.e incoming tagged and then vlan popped by action?
Otherwise a test with IFE which resets the ethertype
would be sufficient i.e just something that will messup
with skb->protocol.
Cong,
I am a little worried about the impact of this change. Smells
more like it has to do with Vlan action or related issues
than with reclassifying.
Martin,
did this setup use to work before? If yes, rough idea of
which kernels?

cheers,
jamal
