net/sched: cls_flower: Introduce support in SKIP SW flag
In order to make a filter processed only by hardware, skip_sw flag should be supplied. This is an addition to the already existing skip_hw flag (filter will be processed by software only). If no flag is specified, filter will be processed by both software and hardware. If only hardware offloaded filters exist, fl_classify() will return without doing anything. A following userspace patch will be sent once kernel patch is accepted. Example: tc filter add dev enp0s9 protocol ip prio 20 parent ffff: \ flower \ ip_proto 6 \ indev enp0s9 \ skip_sw \ action skbedit mark 0x1234 Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai <amirva@mellanox.com> Acked-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
