We refer to a TC NIC rule that involves forwarding as "hairpin". Hairpin queues are mlx5 hardware specific implementation for hardware forwarding of such packets. For debug purposes, introduce debugfs files which: * Expose the number of active hairpins * Dump the hairpin table * Allow control over the number and size of the hairpin queues instead of the hard-coded values. This allows us to get visibility of the feature in order to improve it for next generation hardware. Add debugfs files: fs/tc/hairpin_num_active fs/tc/hairpin_num_queues fs/tc/hairpin_queue_size fs/tc/hairpin_table_dump Note that the new values will only take effect on the next queues creation, it does not affect existing queues.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
