Add a possibility where the user can just specify the parent and all filters under that parent are then being purged. Currently, for example for scripting, one needs to specify pref/prio to have a well-defined number for 'tc filter del' command for addressing the previously created instance or additionally filter handle in case of priorities being the same. Improve usage by allowing the option for tc to specify the parent and removing the whole chain for that given parent. Example usage after patch, no tc changes required: # tc qdisc replace dev foo clsact # tc filter add dev foo egress bpf da obj ./bpf.o # tc filter add dev foo egress bpf da obj ./bpf.o # tc filter show dev foo egress filter protocol all pref 49151 bpf filter protocol all pref 49151 bpf handle 0x1 bpf.o:[classifier] direct-action filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0x1 bpf.o:[classifier] direct-action # tc filter del dev foo egress # tc filter show dev foo egress # Previously, RTM_DELTFILTER requests with invalid prio of 0 were rejected, so only netlink requests with RTM_NEWTFILTER and NLM_F_CREATE flag were allowed where the kernel would auto-generate a pref/prio. We can piggyback on that and use prio of 0 as a wildcard for requests of RTM_DELTFILTER. For notifying tc netlink monitoring users (e.g. libnl uses this for caching), there are two options, that is, sending individual tfilter_notify() notifications for each tcf_proto, or sending a single one indicating wildcard removal. I tried both and there are pros and cons for each, eventually I decided for sending individual tfilter_notify(), so that user space can support this seamlessly and there won't be a mess of changing each and every application to make sure expectations from the kernel won't break when they don't understand single notification. Since linear chains don't really scale, I expect only a handful of classifiers to be attached at max for a given parent anyway.
