Currently it is possible to create a filter which breaks TX traffic, e.g.: tc filter add dev $PF1 ingress protocol ip prio 1 flower ip_proto udp dst_port $PORT action mirred egress redirect dev $VF1_PR This adds a rule which might match both TX and RX traffic, and in TX path the PF will actually receive the traffic, which breaks communication. To fix this, add a match on direction metadata flag when adding a tc rule. Because of the way metadata is currently handled, a duplicate lookup word would appear if VLAN metadata is also added. The lookup would still work correctly, but one word would be wasted. To prevent it, lookup 0 now always contains all metadata. When any metadata needs to be added, it is added to lookup 0 and lookup count is not incremented. This way, two flags residing in the same word will take up one word, instead of two. Note: the drop action is also affected, i.e. it will now only work in one direction.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
