This requires updating each classifier individually to handle the new copy/update requirement and also to update the core list traversals. This makes the assumption that updates to the tables are infrequent in comparison to the packet per second being classified. On a 10Gbps running near line rate we can easily produce 12+ million packets per second so IMO this is a reasonable assumption. The updates are serialized by RTNL. I have done some basic testing on this series and do not see any immediate splats or issues. The patch series has been running on my dev systems for a month or so now and I've not seen any issues. Although my configurations are not overly complicated. My test cases at this point cover all the filters with a tight loop to add/remove filters. Some basic estimator tests where I add an estimator to the qdisc and verify the statistics accurate using pktgen. And finally I have a small script to exercise the 'tc actions' interface. Feel free to send me more tests off list and I can run them. This is prep work to drop the qdisc lock with the first target being the ingress qdisc. To be done is making the tc actions RCU safe and statistics per cpu. These patches are in the works. Comments: - Checkpatch is still giving errors on some >80 char lines I know about this. IMO the way to fix this is to restructure the sched code to avoid being so heavily indented. But doing this here bloats the patchset and anyways there are already lots of >80 chars in these files. I would prefer to keep the patches as is but let me know if others think I should fix these and I will. A follow up patch set could restructure the code and fix this throughout the code blocks. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- 54996b529ab70ca1d6f40677cd2698c4f7127e87
