This patch enables tc-flower based hardware offloads. tc flower filter provided by the kernel is configured as driver specific cloud filter. The patch implements functions and admin queue commands needed to support cloud filters in the driver and adds cloud filters to configure these tc-flower filters. The classification function of the filter is to direct matched packets to a traffic class. The hardware traffic class is set based on the the classid reserved in the range :ffe0 - :ffef. Match Dst MAC and route to TC0: prio 1 flower dst_mac 3c:fd:fe:a0:d6:70 skip_sw\ hw_tc 1 Match Dst IPv4,Dst Port and route to TC1: prio 2 flower dst_ip 192.168.3.5/32\ ip_proto udp dst_port 25 skip_sw\ hw_tc 2 Match Dst IPv6,Dst Port and route to TC1: prio 3 flower dst_ip fe8::200:1\ ip_proto udp dst_port 66 skip_sw\ hw_tc 2 Delete tc flower filter: Example: Flow Director Sideband is disabled while configuring cloud filters via tc-flower and until any cloud filter exists. Unsupported matches when cloud filters are added using enhanced big buffer cloud filter mode of underlying switch include: 1. source port and source IP 2. Combined MAC address and IP fields. 3. Not specifying L4 port These filter matches can however be used to redirect traffic to the main VSI (tc 0) which does not require the enhanced big buffer cloud filter support.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
