RTE_FLOW_MODIFY_CONNTRACK(3)

💖 NAME 💖

rte_flow_modify_conntrack — bestie, it's the little wrapper struct that lets you poke at a conntrack context, except plot twist: most ports won't let you, so you gotta go the dramatic route instead ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <rte_flow.h>

🌸 Data Fields 🌸

• struct rte_flow_action_conntrack new_ct — the fresh connection-tracking params you wanna install 👑
• uint32_t direction:1 — one lil bit, says "hey, update the direction field" 🧭
• uint32_t state:1 — one lil bit, says "hey, update literally everything except direction" 🔄
• uint32_t reserved:30 — thirty bits of pure potential, sitting there for future use, no thoughts head empty 🦋

✨ Detailed Description ✨

RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_CONNTRACK

Okay so here's the tea ☕ — this is a wrapper structure for the context update interface. It's giving "gentle envelope around your update request."

But now the sad part 😭: ports cannot support updating. Like, it's not a "some ports" situation, it's a cannot. And the only valid solution — the only one, periodt — is to destroy the old context and create a new one instead. Rip to the old context, you had a good run 🙈

💅 Field Documentation 💅

🩷 struct rte_flow_action_conntrack new_ct

New connection tracking parameters to be updated. That's it, that's the field, it's carrying the new stuff in 🫶

Definition at line 4089 of file rte_flow.h.

🩵 uint32_t direction

The direction field will be updated. Just that one. Very targeted. Very main character energy ✨

Definition at line 4091 of file rte_flow.h.

💜 uint32_t state

All the other fields except direction will be updated. So basically: everything-but-direction, the field 🎀

Definition at line 4093 of file rte_flow.h.

🤍 uint32_t reserved

Reserved bits for the future usage. They're not doing anything right now, they're just vibing, waiting for their moment 🌈

Definition at line 4095 of file rte_flow.h.

Real talk bestie: remember that whole "ports cannot support updating" thing. If you're out here planning an in-place conntrack update, the docs fr fr said no — destroy the old context and build a new one. Don't make me say it twice 💅

okay that's the whole page, slay, you're a conntrack girlie now 🦋💖✨
