|
||||
.SH NAME
|
||||
cgroup \- control group based traffic control filter
|
||||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.in +8
|
||||
.ti -8
|
||||
.BR tc " " filter " ... " cgroup " [ " match
|
||||
.IR EMATCH_TREE " ] [ "
|
||||
.B action
|
||||
.IR ACTION_SPEC " ]"
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
This filter serves as a hint to
|
||||
.B tc
|
||||
that the assigned class ID of the net_cls control group the process the packet
|
||||
originates from belongs to should be used for classification. Obviously, it is
|
||||
useful for locally generated packets only.
|
||||
.SH OPTIONS
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BI action " ACTION_SPEC"
|
||||
Apply an action from the generic actions framework on matching packets.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BI match " EMATCH_TREE"
|
||||
Match packets using the extended match infrastructure. See
|
||||
.BR tc-ematch (8)
|
||||
for a detailed description of the allowed syntax in
|
||||
.IR EMATCH_TREE .
|
||||
.SH EXAMPLES
|
||||
In order to use this filter, a net_cls control group has to be created first and
|
||||
class as well as process ID(s) assigned to it. The following creates a net_cls
|
||||
cgroup named "foobar":
|
||||
|
||||
.RS
|
||||
.EX
|
||||
modprobe cls_cgroup
|
||||
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls
|
||||
mount -t cgroup -onet_cls net_cls /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls
|
||||
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/foobar
|
||||
.EE
|
||||
.RE
|
||||
|
||||
To assign a class ID to the created cgroup, a file named
|
||||
.I net_cls.classid
|
||||
has to be created which contains the class ID to be assigned as a hexadecimal,
|
||||
64bit wide number. The upper 32bits are reserved for the major handle, the
|
||||
remaining hold the minor. So a class ID of e.g.
|
||||
.B ff:be
|
||||
has to be written like so:
|
||||
.B 0xff00be
|
||||
(leading zeroes may be omitted). To continue the above example, the following
|
||||
assigns class ID 1:2 to foobar cgroup:
|
||||
|
||||
.RS
|
||||
.EX
|
||||
echo 0x10002 > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/foobar/net_cls.classid
|
||||
.EE
|
||||
.RE
|
||||
|
||||
Finally some PIDs can be assigned to the given cgroup:
|
||||
|
||||
.RS
|
||||
.EX
|
||||
echo 1234 > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/foobar/tasks
|
||||
echo 5678 > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/foobar/tasks
|
||||
.EE
|
||||
.RE
|
||||
|
||||
Now by simply attaching a
|
||||
.B cgroup
|
||||
filter to a
|
||||
.B qdisc
|
||||
makes packets from PIDs 1234 and 5678 be pushed into class 1:2.
