Hi, This patchset adds initial hardware offload support for nftables through the existing netdev_ops->ndo_setup_tc() interface, the TC_SETUP_CLSFLOWER classifier and the flow rule API. Patch 1 move the flow block callback infrastructure to net/core/flow_offload.c. More structure and enumeration definitions currently in include/net/pkt_cls.h can be also there to reuse this from the netfilter codebase. Patch 2 adds hardware offload support for nftables. This patchset depends on a previous patchset: [PATCH net-next,RFC 0/9] net: sched: prepare to reuse per-block callbacks from netfilter More information at: https://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=155623884016026&w=2 Comments welcome, thanks.
