    prestera: acl: add action hw_stats support · e8bd7025
    Volodymyr Mytnyk authored
    Currently, when user adds a tc action and the action gets offloaded,
    the user expects the HW stats to be counted also. This limits the
    amount of supported offloaded filters, as HW counter resources may
    be quite limited. Without counter assigned, the HW is capable to
    carry much more filters.
    
    To resolve the issue above, the following types of HW stats are
    offloaded and supported by the driver:
    
    any       - current default, user does not care about the type.
    delayed   - polled from HW periodically.
    disabled  - no HW stats needed.
    immediate - not supported.
    
    Example:
      tc filter add dev PORT ingress proto ip flower skip_sw ip_proto 0x11 \
        action drop
      tc filter add dev PORT ingress proto ip flower skip_sw ip_proto 0x12 \
        action drop hw_stats disabled
      tc filter add dev sw1p1 ingress proto ip flower skip_sw ip_proto 0x14 \
        action drop hw_stats delayed
