A match entry is uniquely identified with an "address" or "path" in the
form of: hashtable ID(12b):bucketid(8b):nodeid(12b).
When creating table match entries all of hash table id, bucket id and
node (match entry id) are needed to be either specified by the user or
reasonable in-kernel defaults are used. The in-kernel default for a table id is
0x800(omnipresent root table); for bucketid it is 0x0. Prior to this fix there
was none for a nodeid i.e. the code assumed that the user passed the correct
nodeid and if the user passes a nodeid of 0 (as Mingi Cho did) then that is what
was used. But nodeid of 0 is reserved for identifying the table. This is not
a problem until we dump. The dump code notices that the nodeid is zero and
assumes it is referencing a table and therefore references table struct
tc_u_hnode instead of what was created i.e match entry struct tc_u_knode.
Ming does an equivalent of:
tc filter add dev dummy0 parent 10: prio 1 handle 0x1000 \
protocol ip u32 match ip src 10.0.0.1/32 classid 10:1 action ok
Essentially specifying a table id 0, bucketid 1 and nodeid of zero
Tableid 0 is remapped to the default of 0x800.
Bucketid 1 is ignored and defaults to 0x00.
Nodeid was assumed to be what Ming passed - 0x000
dumping before fix shows:
~$ tc filter ls dev dummy0 parent 10:
filter protocol ip pref 1 u32 chain 0
filter protocol ip pref 1 u32 chain 0 fh 800: ht divisor 1
filter protocol ip pref 1 u32 chain 0 fh 800: ht divisor -30591
Note that the last line reports a table instead of a match entry
(you can tell this because it says "ht divisor...").
As a result of reporting the wrong data type (misinterpretting of struct
tc_u_knode as being struct tc_u_hnode) the divisor is reported with value
of -30591. Ming identified this as part of the heap address
(physmap_base is 0xffff8880 (-30591 - 1)).
The fix is to ensure that when table entry matches are added and no
nodeid is specified (i.e nodeid == 0) then we get the next available
nodeid from the table's pool.
After the fix, this is what the dump shows:
$ tc filter ls dev dummy0 parent 10:
filter protocol ip pref 1 u32 chain 0
filter protocol ip pref 1 u32 chain 0 fh 800: ht divisor 1
filter protocol ip pref 1 u32 chain 0 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 10:1 not_in_hw
match 0a000001/ffffffff at 12
action order 1: gact action pass
random type none pass val 0
index 1 ref 1 bind 1

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.
