My suggestion was just to simplify the end-user dump experience, so that the value of 'p->tcfv_push_prio' is dumped always in case of TCA_VLAN_ACT_PUSH. In this way, rules with equal "behavior" in the traffic path are always dumped in the same way. IOW, # tc action add action vlan push id 42 prio 0 index 1 and # tc action add action vlan push id 42 index 1 do exactly the same thing in the traffic path, so there is no need to dump them differently. On the contrary, these 2 rules: # tc action add action vlan modify id 42 prio 0 index 1 and # tc action add action vlan modify id 42 index 1 don't do the same thing, because packet hitting the first rule will have their priority identically set to 0, while the second one will leave the VLAN priority unmodified. So, I think it makes sense to have different dumps here (that was my comment to your v1).
I am convinced. I've done this in v3.
Another small nit - forgive me, I didn't spot it in the first review: not 100% sure, but I think that in tcf_vlan_get_fill_size() we need to avoid accounting for TCA_VLAN_PUSH_VLAN_PRIORITY in case the rule has 'push_prio_exists' equal to false. Otherwise we allocate an extra u8 netlink attribute in case of batch dump. Correct?
Also done in v3. Thanks, Boris.
thanks! -- davide
