nfp: flow-independent tc action hardware offload
Baowen Zheng says:
Allow nfp NIC to offload tc actions independent of flows.
The motivation for this work is to offload tc actions independent of flows
for nfp NIC. We allow nfp driver to provide hardware offload of OVS
metering feature - which calls for policers that may be used by multiple
flows and whose lifecycle is independent of any flows that use them.
When nfp driver tries to offload a flow table using the independent action,
the driver will search if the action is already offloaded to the hardware.
If not, the flow table offload will fail.
When the nfp NIC successes to offload an action, the user can check
in_hw_count when dumping the tc action.
Tc cli command to offload and dump an action:
# tc actions add action police rate 100mbit burst 10000k index 200 skip_sw
# tc -s -d actions list action police
total acts 1
action order 0: police 0xc8 rate 100Mbit burst 10000Kb mtu 2Kb action reclassify
overhead 0b linklayer ethernet
ref 1 bind 0 installed 142 sec used 0 sec
Action statistics:
Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
skip_sw in_hw in_hw_count 1
used_hw_stats delayed

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
