xfrm: configure policy hash table thresholds by netlink
Enable to specify local and remote prefix length thresholds for the
policy hash table via a netlink XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO message.
prefix length thresholds are specified by XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH and
XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH optional attributes (struct xfrmu_spdhthresh).
example:
struct xfrmu_spdhthresh thresh4 = {
.lbits = 0;
.rbits = 24;
};
struct xfrmu_spdhthresh thresh6 = {
.lbits = 0;
.rbits = 56;
};
struct nlmsghdr *hdr;
struct nl_msg *msg;
msg = nlmsg_alloc();
hdr = nlmsg_put(msg, NL_AUTO_PORT, NL_AUTO_SEQ, XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH, sizeof(__u32), NLM_F_REQUEST);
nla_put(msg, XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH, sizeof(thresh4), &thresh4);
nla_put(msg, XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH, sizeof(thresh6), &thresh6);
nla_send_auto(sk, msg);
The numbers are the policy selector minimum prefix lengths to put a
policy in the hash table.
- lbits is the local threshold (source address for out policies,
destination address for in and fwd policies).
- rbits is the remote threshold (destination address for out
policies, source address for in and fwd policies).
The default values are:
XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH: 32 32
XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH: 128 128
Dynamic re-building of the SPD is performed when the thresholds values
are changed.
The current thresholds can be read via a XFRM_MSG_GETSPDINFO request:
the kernel replies to XFRM_MSG_GETSPDINFO requests by an
XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO message, with both attributes
XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH and XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH.
