misread as bpf program now executes the actions and bypasses tcf_exts_exec() ? Well, that may be interesting idea for the future,
And above is precisely why i raised the concern. You are already bypassing tcf_exts_exec with that patch. It is a big jump. It is kind of hard to continue the discussion because i notice Dave just took in the patches. Please dont go the above path of fully fledged bypass. The architecture is about small tools that come together to provide complex processing. ebpf may be the best classifier today - but by no means the only one or guaranteed that nothing better will exist for speficic use cases. If there is something in the core that needs improvement for the benefit of all, then lets do that. Example i find the classid metadata interesting but flinching at ACT_REDIRECT. cheers, jamal -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
