@@ -8,14 +8,8 @@ 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.
-There are certain fields in the skb tc_verd that need to be reset so we
-avoid loops, etc. A few are generic enough that skb_act_clone()
-resets them for you, so invoke skb_act_clone() rather than skb_clone().
-
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.
-You must also tell us if it is ok to munge the packet (TC_OK2MUNGE),
-this way any action downstream can stomp on the packet.
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.
