As we now can have multiple entries per destination-IP, the "ip
tcp_metrics delete address ADDRESS" command should delete all of them.

You have to adjust how you're doing patches #3 and #4.

Create the new attribute for the source address first, then
allow the source address to be specified in the deletion
command.

Make the source address optional in delete commands, to be
compatible with existing tools, and have it mean "ANY".

Thanks for the feedback, David.
I will resubmit when I have the time to do the changes.

I have to come back on this one.
Can you explain what you mean by "ANY"?

Do you mean that if no source-IP is given in the netlink command that all
entries matching the dst should be deleted or rather only one of them (and that it
would be non-deterministic which one)?

Because, if I delete all of them, then "ip tcp_metrics flush PREFIX" of
today's iproute2 will complain, because iproute2 expects that for each entry of
"ip tcp_metrics show" a delete-call must be done.

But, the non-deterministic case also feels a bit odd to me.


Thanks,
Christoph

You would delete all of them, it's the only way to stay compatible with
the current code.

iproute2 should not expect that if it doesn't specify a specific
source address, in fact it doesn't even know how to currently.  I
can't think of any other reasonable behavior.
