Example 0x2a in the bpf filter above. A user wishing to delete, get or even modify a specific filter uses this handle to reference it. Every classifier is free to provide its own semantics for the 32 bit handle. Example: classifiers like u32 use schemes like 800:1:801 to describe the semantics of their filters represented as hash table, bucket and node ids etc. Classifiers also have internal per-filter representation which is different from this externally visible identity. Most classifiers set this internal representation to be a pointer address (which allows fast retrieval of said filters in their implementations). This internal representation is referenced with the "fh" variable in the kernel control code. When a user successfuly deletes a specific filter, by specifying the correct tcm->tcm_handle, an event is generated to user space which indicates which specific filter was deleted. Before this patch, the "fh" value was sent to user space as the identity. As an example what is shown in the sample bpf filter delete event above is 0xf3be0c80. This is infact a 32-bit truncation of 0xffff8807f3be0c80 which happens to be a 64-bit memory address of the internal filter representation (address of the corresponding filter's struct cls_bpf_prog); After this patch the appropriate user identifiable handle as encoded in the originating request tcm->tcm_handle is generated in the event. One of the cardinal rules of netlink rules is to be able to take an event (such as a delete in this case) and reflect it back to the kernel and successfully delete the filter. This patch achieves that. Note, this issue has existed since the original TC action infrastructure code patch back in 2004 as found in: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git/commit/ [1] http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/682828/ [2] http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/682829/ Fixes: 4e54c4816bfe ("[NET]: Add tc extensions infrastructure.")
