Is this going to "just work" for mlxsw?
act = flow_action_first_entry_get(flow_action);
if (act->hw_stats == FLOW_ACTION_HW_STATS_ANY ||
act->hw_stats == FLOW_ACTION_HW_STATS_IMMEDIATE) {
/* Count action is inserted first */
err = mlxsw_sp_acl_rulei_act_count(mlxsw_sp, rulei, extack);
if (err)
return err;
} else if (act->hw_stats != FLOW_ACTION_HW_STATS_DISABLED) {
NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD(extack, "Unsupported action HW stats type");
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
}
if hw_stats is 0 we'll get into the else and bail.
That doesn't deliver on the "don't care" promise, no?
