Node tune operator failed to handle the sysctl name with dot

[luolanzone]

Hi I checked this document and tried to update rp_filter of a sub-interface named 'antrea-ext.10' with the following manifest:

apiVersion: tuned.openshift.io/v1
kind: Tuned
metadata:
  name: antrea
  namespace: openshift-cluster-node-tuning-operator
spec:
  profile:
  - data: |
      [main]
      summary=Update Antrea VLAN interface rp_fitler
      [sysctl]
      net.ipv4.conf.antrea-ext\\.10.rp_filter=2 // net.ipv4.conf."antrea-ext.10".rp_filter=2 also failed
    name: openshift-antrea
  recommend:
  - match:
    - label: network-role
      value: egress-gateway
    priority: 30
    profile: openshift-antrea

I tried both ways with '\\' or double quote but none of them work.

The version of OCP I tried is v4.16.

According to sysctl man page / is also accepted:

PARAMETERS
       variable
              The name of a key to read from.  An example is kernel.ostype.  The '/' separator is also accepted in place of a '.'., 

so I all tried net/ipv4/conf/antrea-ext.10/rp_filter=2 but also failed with following errors:
