Paolo Abeni e5cf1baf92 act_mirred: use TC_ACT_REINSERT when possible
When mirred is invoked from the ingress path, and it wants to redirect
the processed packet, it can now use the TC_ACT_REINSERT action,
filling the tcf_result accordingly, and avoiding a per packet
skb_clone().

Overall this gives a ~10% improvement in forwarding performance for the
TC S/W data path and TC S/W performances are now comparable to the
kernel openvswitch datapath.

v1 -> v2: use ACT_MIRRED instead of ACT_REDIRECT
v2 -> v3: updated after action rename, fixed typo into the commit
	message
v3 -> v4: updated again after action rename, added more comments to
	the code (JiriP), skip the optimization if the control action
	need to touch the tcf_result (Paolo)
v4 -> v5: fix sparse warning (kbuild bot)

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.
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.
