This patch adds support for filtering based on time since last used.
When we are dumping a large number of actions it is useful to
have the option of filtering based on when the action was last
used to reduce the amount of data crossing to user space.
With this patch the user space app sets the TCA_ROOT_TIME_DELTA
attribute with the value in milliseconds with "time of interest
since now". The kernel converts this to jiffies and does the
filtering comparison matching entries that have seen activity
since then and returns them to user space.
Old kernels and old tc continue to work in legacy mode since
they dont specify this attribute.
Some example (we have 400 actions bound to 400 filters); at
installation time. Using updated when tc setting the time of
interest to 120 seconds earlier (we see 400 actions):
prompt$ hackedtc actions ls action gact since 120000| grep index | wc -l
400
go get some coffee and wait for > 120 seconds and try again:
prompt$ hackedtc actions ls action gact since 120000 | grep index | wc -l
0
Lets see a filter bound to one of these actions:
....
filter pref 10 u32
filter pref 10 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1
filter pref 10 u32 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:10 (rule hit 2 success 1)
match 7f000002/ffffffff at 12 (success 1 )
action order 1: gact action pass
random type none pass val 0
index 23 ref 2 bind 1 installed 1145 sec used 802 sec
Action statistics:
Sent 84 bytes 1 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
....
that coffee took long, no? It was good.
Now lets ping -c 1 127.0.0.2, then run the actions again:
prompt$ hackedtc actions ls action gact since 120 | grep index | wc -l
1
More details please:
prompt$ hackedtc -s actions ls action gact since 120000
action order 0: gact action pass
random type none pass val 0
index 23 ref 2 bind 1 installed 1270 sec used 30 sec
Action statistics:
Sent 168 bytes 2 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
And the filter?
filter pref 10 u32
filter pref 10 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1
filter pref 10 u32 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:10 (rule hit 4 success 2)
match 7f000002/ffffffff at 12 (success 2 )
action order 1: gact action pass
random type none pass val 0
index 23 ref 2 bind 1 installed 1324 sec used 84 sec
Action statistics:
Sent 168 bytes 2 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
