From 47dceb8ecdc1c3ad1818dfea3d659a05b74c3fc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Willem de Bruijn Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2015 22:31:34 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] packet: add classic BPF fanout mode Add fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF that accepts a classic BPF program to select a socket. This avoids having to keep adding special case fanout modes. One example use case is application layer load balancing. The QUIC protocol, for instance, encodes a connection ID in UDP payload. Also add socket option SOL_PACKET/PACKET_FANOUT_DATA that updates data associated with the socket group. Fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF is the only user so far.
