Based on packet field offsets in the key, SW can > install packet forwarding rules. > This patch series adds > - Initial parser profile to be programmed into parser engines. > - Default forwarding rules to forward packets to different logical > interfaces having a NIXLF attached. > - Support for promiscuous and multicast modes. > > Changes from v1: > 1 Fixed kernel build failure when compiled with BIG_ENDIAN enabled. > - Reported by Kbuild test robot > 2 Fixed a warning observed when kernel is built with -Wunused-but-set-variable Series applied.
