bpf: add skb->queue_mapping write access from tc clsact
The skb->queue_mapping already have read access, via __sk_buff->queue_mapping. This patch allow BPF tc qdisc clsact write access to the queue_mapping via tc_cls_act_is_valid_access. Also handle that the value NO_QUEUE_MAPPING is not allowed. It is already possible to change this via TC filter action skbedit tc-skbedit(8). Due to the lack of TC examples, lets show one: # tc qdisc add dev ixgbe1 clsact # tc filter add dev ixgbe1 ingress matchall action skbedit queue_mapping 5 # tc filter list dev ixgbe1 ingress The most common mistake is that XPS (Transmit Packet Steering) takes precedence over setting skb->queue_mapping. XPS is configured per DEVICE via /sys/class/net/DEVICE/queues/tx-*/xps_cpus via a CPU hex mask. To disable set mask=00. The purpose of changing skb->queue_mapping is to influence the selection of the net_device "txq" (struct netdev_queue), which influence selection of the qdisc "root_lock" (via txq->qdisc->q.lock) and txq->_xmit_lock. When using the MQ qdisc the txq->qdisc points to different qdiscs and associated locks, and HARD_TX_LOCK (txq->_xmit_lock), allowing for CPU scalability. Due to lack of TC examples, lets show howto attach clsact BPF programs: # tc qdisc add dev ixgbe2 clsact # tc filter add dev ixgbe2 egress bpf da obj XXX_kern.o sec tc_qmap2cpu # tc filter list dev ixgbe2 egress Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <[email protected]>
