Supported flow rules are now mapped to TC rules on the tap netdevice.
The netlink message used for creating the TC rule is stored in struct
rte_flow. That way, by simply changing a metadata in it, we can require
for the rule deletion without further parsing.
Supported items:
- eth: src and dst (with variable masks), and eth_type (0xffff mask).
- vlan: vid, pcp, tpid, but not eid.
- ipv4/6: src and dst (with variable masks), and ip_proto (0xffff mask).
- udp/tcp: src and dst port (0xffff) mask.
Supported actions:
- DROP
- QUEUE
- PASSTHRU
It is generally not possible to provide a "last" item. However, if the
"last" item, once masked, is identical to the masked spec, then it is
supported.
Only IPv4/6 and MAC addresses can use a variable mask. All other
items need a full mask (exact match).
Support for VLAN requires kernel headers >= 4.9, checked using
auto-config.sh.
