      net sched actions: Add support for user cookies · 1045ba77
      Jamal Hadi Salim authored
      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
