Every tool in the iproute2 package have one or more function to show
an help message to the user. Some of these functions print the help
line by line with a series of printf call, e.g. ip/xfrm_state.c does
60 fprintf calls.
If we group all the calls to a single one and just concatenate strings,
we save a lot of libc calls and thus object size. The size difference
of the compiled binaries calculated with bloat-o-meter is:
ip/ip:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 5/15 up/down: 103/-4796 (-4693)
Total: Before=672591, After=667898, chg -0.70%
ip/rtmon:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-54 (-54)
Total: Before=48879, After=48825, chg -0.11%
tc/tc:
add/remove: 0/2 grow/shrink: 31/10 up/down: 882/-6133 (-5251)
Total: Before=351912, After=346661, chg -1.49%
bridge/bridge:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-459 (-459)
Total: Before=70502, After=70043, chg -0.65%
misc/lnstat:
add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 1/0 up/down: 48/-486 (-438)
Total: Before=9960, After=9522, chg -4.40%
tipc/tipc:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/1 up/down: 18/-62 (-44)
Total: Before=79182, After=79138, chg -0.06%
While at it, indent some strings which were starting at column 0,
and use tabs where possible, to have a consistent style across helps.

We have helper routines to support nested attribute addition into
netlink buffer: use them instead of open coding.
Use addattr_nest_compat()/addattr_nest_compat_end() where appropriate.

dump more than TCA_ACT_MAX_PRIO actions per batch when the kernel
supports it.
Introduced keyword "since" for time based filtering of actions.
Some example (we have 400 actions bound to 400 filters); at
installation time. Using updated when tc setting the time of
interest to 120 seconds earlier (we see 400 actions):
prompt$ hackedtc actions ls action gact since 120000| grep index | wc -l
400
go get some coffee and wait for > 120 seconds and try again:
prompt$ hackedtc actions ls action gact since 120000 | grep index | wc -l
0
Lets see a filter bound to one of these actions:
....
filter pref 10 u32
filter pref 10 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1
filter pref 10 u32 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:10 (rule hit 2 success 1)
match 7f000002/ffffffff at 12 (success 1 )
action order 1: gact action pass
random type none pass val 0
index 23 ref 2 bind 1 installed 1145 sec used 802 sec
Action statistics:
Sent 84 bytes 1 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
...
that coffee took long, no? It was good.
Now lets ping -c 1 127.0.0.2, then run the actions again:
prompt$ hackedtc actions ls action gact since 120 | grep index | wc -l
1
More details please:
prompt$ hackedtc -s actions ls action gact since 120000
action order 0: gact action pass
random type none pass val 0
index 23 ref 2 bind 1 installed 1270 sec used 30 sec
Action statistics:
Sent 168 bytes 2 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
And the filter?
filter pref 10 u32
filter pref 10 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1
filter pref 10 u32 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:10 (rule hit 4 success 2)
match 7f000002/ffffffff at 12 (success 2 )
action order 1: gact action pass
random type none pass val 0
index 23 ref 2 bind 1 installed 1324 sec used 84 sec
Action statistics:
Sent 168 bytes 2 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)

This big patch was compiled by vimgrepping for memset calls and changing
to C99 initializer if applicable. One notable exception is the
initialization of union bpf_attr in tc/tc_bpf.c: changing it would break
for older gcc versions (at least <=3.4.6).
Calls to memset for struct rtattr pointer fields for parse_rtattr*()
were just dropped since they are not needed.
The changes here allowed the compiler to discover some unused variables,
so get rid of them, too.

The kernel takes a lack of options as indication that the fw classifier
should operate in compatibility mode, where marks are mapped directly to
classids.
Commit e22b42a (tc mask patch) broke this by adding an empty TCA_OPTIONS
attribute even if no handle is specified. Restore the old behaviour.

update: Fix the spelling of "hexidecimal"
This updates the help output to specify that CLASSID should be hexidecimal.
This makes sure that a user entering "flowid 1:10" gets his flow put into
band 15 (0x10) and knows why.

Hello Stephen,
As the current maintainer of iproute2 package, you could be interested
in including the attached patch that allow using masks in the fw filter
of the tc utility (very useful at least for me). AFAK, it works at least
from iproute2 version 2.6.20-?. Feel free to make the appropriate
cleaning changes if necessary, or contact me if you see any trouble.
Best regards,
François Delawarde.
