From c29f74e0df7a02b8303bcdce93a7c0132d62577a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2019 00:29:56 +0100 Subject: netfilter: nf_flow_table: hardware offload support This patch adds the dataplane hardware offload to the flowtable infrastructure. Three new flags represent the hardware state of this flow: * FLOW_OFFLOAD_HW: This flow entry resides in the hardware. * FLOW_OFFLOAD_HW_DYING: This flow entry has been scheduled to be remove from hardware. This might be triggered by either packet path (via TCP RST/FIN packet) or via aging. * FLOW_OFFLOAD_HW_DEAD: This flow entry has been already removed from the hardware, the software garbage collector can remove it from the software flowtable. This patch supports for: * IPv4 only. * Aging via FLOW_CLS_STATS, no packet and byte counter synchronization at this stage. This patch also adds the action callback that specifies how to convert the flow entry into the flow_rule object that is passed to the driver. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso Signed-off-by: David S.
