The commit a new tc ematch for using netfilter xtable matches. This allows early classification as well as mirroning/redirecting traffic based on logic implemented in netfilter extensions. Current supported use case is classification based on the incoming IPSec state used during decpsulation using the 'policy' iptables extension (xt_policy). The module dynamically fetches the netfilter match module and calls it using a fake xt_action_param structure based on validated userspace provided parameters. As the xt_policy match does not access skb->data, no skb modifications are needed on match. Signed-off-by: Eyal Birger <eyal.birger@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
