When you dump hundreds of thousands of actions, getting only 32 per dump batch even when the socket buffer and memory allocations allow is inefficient. With this change, the user will get as many as possibly fitting within the given constraints available to the kernel. The top level action TLV space is extended. An attribute TCA_ROOT_FLAGS is used to carry flags; flag TCA_FLAG_LARGE_DUMP_ON is set by the user indicating the user is capable of processing these large dumps. Older user space which doesnt set this flag doesnt get the large (than 32) batches. The kernel uses the TCA_ROOT_COUNT attribute to tell the user how many actions are put in a single batch. As such user space app knows how long to iterate (independent of the type of action being dumped) instead of hardcoded maximum of 32 thus maintaining backward compat. Some results dumping 1.5M actions below: first an unpatched tc which doesnt understand these features... prompt$ time -p tc actions ls action gact | grep index | wc -l 1500000 real 1388.43 user 2.07 sys 1386.79 Now lets see a patched tc which sets the correct flags when requesting a dump: prompt$ time -p updatedtc actions ls action gact | grep index | wc -l 1500000 real 178.13 user 2.02 sys 176.96 That is about 8x performance improvement for tc app which sets its receive buffer to about 32K.
