[ovs-dev] [PATCH] vswitchd: Ingress policing to use matchall instead of basic

Michael Pattrick mkp at redhat.com
Thu Oct 14 19:44:24 UTC 2021


Currently ingress policing uses the basic classifier to apply traffic
control filters.

However, cls_basic was removed from the upcoming RHEL9. Basic is probably
not the proper classifier to use when the more accurage matchall
classifier is available and already in use in the code base. Switching
from basic to matchall allows us to remove a function.

I've also modified tests to detect when ingress policing fails to apply.
