We use the new E-Switch switchdev mode and the > TC vlan action to achieve that also in SW defined SRIOV environments by > offloading TC rules that contain this action along with forwarding > (TC mirred/redirect action) the packet. > > In the first patch we add some helpers to access the TC vlan action info > by offloading drivers. The next five patches don't add any new functionality, > they do some refactoring and cleanups in the current code to be used next. > > The seventh patch deals with supporting vlans by the mlx5 e-switch in > switchdev > mode. The eighth patch does the vlan action offload from TC and the last patch > adds matching for vlans as typically required by TC flows that involve vlan > pop action. > > The series was applied on top of commit 524605e "cxgb4: Convert to use > simple_open()" Series applied, thanks.
