Introduce optional 128-bit action cookie. Like all other cookie schemes in the networking world (eg in protocols like http or existing kernel fib protocol field, etc) the idea is to save user state that when retrieved serves as a correlator. The kernel _should not_ intepret it. The user can store whatever they wish in the 128 bits. Sample exercise(showing variable length use of cookie) .. create an accept action with cookie a1b2c3d4 sudo $TC actions add action ok index 1 cookie a1b2c3d4 .. dump all gact actions.. sudo $TC -s actions ls action gact action order 0: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 1 bind 0 installed 5 sec used 5 sec Action statistics: Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 cookie a1b2c3d4 .. bind the accept action to a filter.. sudo $TC filter add dev lo parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 \ u32 match ip dst 127.0.0.1/32 flowid 1:1 action gact index 1 ... send some traffic.. $ ping 127.0.0.1 -c 3 PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.020 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.027 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms Signed-off-by: David S.
