====================
mlxsw: Implement ACL-dropped packets identification

mlxsw hardware allows to insert a ACL-drop action with a value defined
by user that would be later on passed with a dropped packet.

To implement this, use the existing TC action cookie and pass it to the
driver. As the cookie format coming down from TC and the mlxsw HW cookie
format is different, do the mapping of these two using idr and rhashtable.

The cookie is passed up from the HW through devlink_trap_report() to
drop_monitor code. A new metadata type is used for that.

Example:
$ tc qdisc add dev enp0s16np1 clsact
$ tc filter add dev enp0s16np1 ingress protocol ip pref 10 flower skip_sw dst_ip 192.168.1.2 action drop cookie 3b45fa38c8
                                                                                                                ^^^^^^^^^^
$ devlink trap set pci/0000:00:10.0 trap acl action trap
$ dropwatch

This way the user may insert multiple drop rules and monitor the dropped
packets with the information of which action caused the drop.

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.
