This chain is traversed and each filter could be matched on, which may lead to execution of list of actions. One of such action could be "reclassify", which would "reset" the processing of the filter chain. So this filter chain could be looked at as a flat table. Sometimes it is convenient for user to configure a hierarchy of tables. Example usecase is encapsulation. Hierarchy of tables is a common way how it is done in HW pipelines. So it is much more convenient to offload this. This patchset contains two major patches: 8/10 - This patch introduces the support for having multiple chains of filters. 10/10 - This patch adds new control action to allow going to specified chain The rest of the patches are smaller or bigger depencies of those 2. Please see individual patch descriptions for details. Corresponding iproute2 patches are appended as a reply to this cover letter. Simple example: $ tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress $ tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip pref 33 flower dst_mac 52:54:00:3d:c7:6d action goto chain 11 $ tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip pref 22 chain 11 flower dst_ip 192.168.40.1 action drop $ tc filter show dev eth0 root filter parent ffff: protocol ip pref 33 flower chain 0 filter parent ffff: protocol ip pref 33 flower chain 0 handle 0x1 dst_mac 52:54:00:3d:c7:6d eth_type ipv4 action order 1: gact action goto chain 11 random type none pass val 0 index 2 ref 1 bind 1 filter parent ffff: protocol ip pref 22 flower chain 11 filter parent ffff: protocol ip pref 22 flower chain 11 handle 0x1 eth_type ipv4 dst_ip 192.168.40.1 action order 1: gact action drop random type none pass val 0 index 3 ref 1 bind 1 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
