Stop guessing the struct net instead of remember it.  Guessing is just
silly and will be problematic in the future when I implement routes
between network namespaces.

Similar to act_gact/act_mirred, act_bpf can be lockless in packet processing
with extra care taken to free bpf programs after rcu grace period.
Replacement of existing act_bpf (very rare) is done with synchronize_rcu()
and final destruction is done from tc_action_ops-&gt;cleanup() callback that is
called from tcf_exts_destroy()-&gt;tcf_action_destroy()-&gt;__tcf_hash_release() when
bind and refcnt reach zero which is only possible when classifier is destroyed.
Previous two patches fixed the last two classifiers (tcindex and rsvp) to
call tcf_exts_destroy() from rcu callback.

Similar to gact/mirred there is a race between prog-&gt;filter and
prog-&gt;tcf_action. Meaning that the program being replaced may use
previous default action if it happened to return TC_ACT_UNSPEC.
act_mirred race betwen tcf_action and tcfm_dev is similar.
In all cases the race is harmless.
Long term we may want to improve the situation by replacing the whole
tc_action-&gt;priv as single pointer instead of updating inner fields one by one.

Like act_gact, act_mirred can be lockless in packet processing

1) Use percpu stats
2) update lastuse only every clock tick to avoid false sharing
3) use rcu to protect tcfm_dev
4) Remove spinlock usage, as it is no longer needed.

Next step : add multi queue capability to ifb device

<title>net_sched: act_gact: use a separate packet counters for gact_determ()</title>

Second step for gact RCU operation :

We want to get rid of the spinlock protecting gact operations.
Stats (packets/bytes) will soon be per cpu.

gact_determ() would not work without a central packet counter,
so lets add it for this mode.

<title>act_bpf: add initial eBPF support for actions</title>

<id>a8cb5f556b567974d75ea29c15181c445c541b1f</id>
<content type='text'>
This work extends the "classic" BPF programmable tc action by extending
its scope also to native eBPF code!

Together with commit e2e9b6541dd4 ("cls_bpf: add initial eBPF support
for programmable classifiers") this adds the facility to implement fully
flexible classifier and actions for tc that can be implemented in a C
subset in user space, "safely" loaded into the kernel, and being run in
native speed when JITed.

Also, since eBPF maps can be shared between eBPF programs, it offers the
possibility that cls_bpf and act_bpf can share data 1) between themselves
and 2) between user space applications. That means that, f.e. customized
runtime statistics can be collected in user space, but also more importantly
classifier and action behaviour could be altered based on map input from
the user space application.

For the remaining details on the workflow and integration, see the cls_bpf
commit e2e9b6541dd4. Preliminary iproute2 part can be found under [1].

This tc action allows you to retrieve the connection tracking mark
This action has been used heavily by openwrt for a few years now.

There are known limitations currently:

doesn't work for initial packets, since we only query the ct table.
  Fine given use case is for returning packets

no implicit defrag.
  frags should be rare so fix later..

won't work for more complex tasks, e.g. lookup of other extensions
  since we have no means to store results

we still have a 2nd lookup later on via normal conntrack path.
This shouldn't break anything though since skb-&gt;nfct isn't altered.

V2:
remove unnecessary braces (Jiri)
change the action identifier to 14 (Jiri)
Fix some stylistic issues caught by checkpatch
V3:
Move module params to bottom (Cong)
Get rid of tcf_hashinfo_init and friends and conform to newer API (Cong)
