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) Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
