Subject: [PATCH RESEND net-next 1/2] net/sched: act_skbmod: Add SKBMOD_F_ECN option support
Date:   Tue, 27 Jul 2021 18:33:15 -0700
Message-Id: <f5bd3c60662ec0982cccd8951990796b87d1f985.1627434177.git.peilin.ye@bytedance.com>

From: Peilin Ye <peilin.ye@bytedance.com>

Currently, when doing rate limiting using the tc-police(8) action, the
easiest way is to simply drop the packets which exceed or conform the
configured bandwidth limit.  Add a new option to tc-skbmod(8), so that
users may use the ECN [1] extension to explicitly inform the receiver
about the congestion instead of dropping packets "on the floor".

The 2 least significant bits of the Traffic Class field in IPv4 and IPv6
headers are used to represent different ECN states [2]:

	0b00: "Non ECN-Capable Transport", Non-ECT
	0b10: "ECN Capable Transport", ECT(0)
	0b01: "ECN Capable Transport", ECT(1)
	0b11: "Congestion Encountered", CE

As an example:

	$ tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 10 \
		matchall action skbmod ecn

Doing the above marks all ECT(0) and ECT(1) packets as CE.  It does NOT
affect Non-ECT or non-IP packets.  In the tc-police scenario mentioned
above, users may pipe a tc-police action and a tc-skbmod "ecn" action
together to achieve ECN-based rate limiting.

For TCP connections, upon receiving a CE packet, the receiver will respond
with an ECE packet, asking the sender to reduce their congestion window.
However ECN also works with other L4 protocols e.g. DCCP and SCTP [2], and
our implementation does not touch or care about L4 headers.

The updated tc-skbmod SYNOPSIS looks like the following:

	tc ... action skbmod { set SETTABLE | swap SWAPPABLE | ecn } ...

Only one of "set", "swap" or "ecn" shall be used in a single tc-skbmod
command.  Trying to use more than one of them at a time is considered
undefined behavior; pipe multiple tc-skbmod commands together instead.
"set" and "swap" only affect Ethernet packets, while "ecn" only affects
IPv{4,6} packets.

It is also worth mentioning that, in theory, the same effect could be
achieved by piping a "police" action and a "bpf" action using the
bpf_skb_ecn_set_ce() helper, but this requires eBPF programming from the
user, thus impractical.

Depends on patch "net/sched: act_skbmod: Skip non-Ethernet packets".

Hi all,

These 2 patches should apply to net-next now, since "net/sched:
act_skbmod: Skip non-Ethernet packets" has been pulled into net-next.
Please review; thank you!
