- The "environmental" rules for authors of any new tc actions are:
- 1) If you stealeth or borroweth any packet thou shalt be branching
- from the righteous path and thou shalt cloneth.
- For example if your action queues a packet to be processed later,
- or intentionally branches by redirecting a packet, then you need to
- clone the packet.
- 2) If you munge any packet thou shalt call pskb_expand_head in the case
- someone else is referencing the skb. After that you "own" the skb.
- 3) Dropping packets you don't own is a no-no. You simply return
- TC_ACT_SHOT to the caller and they will drop it.
- The "environmental" rules for callers of actions (qdiscs etc) are:
- *) Thou art responsible for freeing anything returned as being
- TC_ACT_SHOT/STOLEN/QUEUED. If none of TC_ACT_SHOT/STOLEN/QUEUED is
- returned, then all is great and you don't need to do anything.
- Post on netdev if something is unclear.
