Subject: [PATCH v4 nf-next 1/3] ipvs: add flags for per-service secure TCP state table
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 02:47:06 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920054708.988867-2-adrianox@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260920054708.988867-1-adrianox@gmail.com>

Add IP_VS_SVC_F_SECURE_TCP to mark a virtual service for the
DoS-hardened TCP connection state table, and
IP_VS_CONN_F_SECURE_TCP to carry that capability on a connection
so the TCP state machine can select the hardened table for it.

The service flag is 0x0100: bits 0x0008/0x0010/0x0020 are the
scheduler bits, so leave 0x0040/0x0080 free for schedulers.

Set IP_VS_CONN_F_SECURE_TCP on every connection bound to a
destination whose service carries IP_VS_SVC_F_SECURE_TCP.

Signed-off-by: Adriano Cordova <adrianox@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
- Let IP_VS_SVC_F_SECURE_TCP be 0x0100, leaving 0x0040/0x0080 free for
  scheduler flags.
- Let IP_VS_CONN_F_SECURE_TCP be (1 << 17) and drop it from
  IP_VS_CONN_F_BACKUP_MASK.
- Set the flag in ip_vs_bind_dest() instead of at every ip_vs_conn_new()
  call site.

Changes in v3:
- Merge the uapi flag definition and the ip_vs_bind_dest() stamping into
  a single patch.

(no changes since v3)
