Merge branch 'net-sched-Make-qdisc-offload-uapi-uniform'
Yuval Mintz says: ==================== net: sched: Make qdisc offload uapi uniform Several qdiscs can already be offloaded to hardware, but there's an inconsistecy in regard to the uapi through which they indicate such an offload is taking place - indication is passed to the user via TCA_OPTIONS where each qdisc retains private logic for setting it. The recent addition of offloading to RED in 602f3baf ("net_sch: red: Add offload ability to RED qdisc") caused the addition of yet another uapi field for this purpose - TC_RED_OFFLOADED. For clarity and prevention of bloat in the uapi we want to eliminate said added uapi, replacing it with a common mechanism that can be used to reflect offload status of the various qdiscs. The first patch introduces TCA_HW_OFFLOAD as the generic message meant for this purpose. The second changes the current RED implementation into setting the internal bits necessary for passing it, and the third removes TC_RED_OFFLOADED as its no longer needed. ==================== Signed-off-by:David S.
