tc_ctl_tfilter handles three netlink message types: RTM_NEWTFILTER, RTM_DELTFILTER, RTM_GETTFILTER. However, implementation of this function involves a lot of branching on specific message type because most of the code is message-specific. This significantly complicates adding new functionality and doesn't provide much benefit of code reuse. Split tc_ctl_tfilter to three standalone functions that handle filter new, delete and get requests. The only truly protocol independent part of tc_ctl_tfilter is code that looks up queue, class, and block. Refactor this code to standalone tcf_block_find function that is used by all three new handlers. Signed-off-by: Vlad Buslov <vladbu@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
