Simon Horman says: ==================== net/sched: act_police: add support for packet-per-second policing This series enhances the TC policer action implementation to allow a policer action instance to enforce a rate-limit based on packets-per-second, configurable using a packet-per-second rate and burst parameters. In the hope of aiding review this is broken up into three patches. * [PATCH 1/3] flow_offload: add support for packet-per-second policing Add support for this feature to the flow_offload API that is used to allow programming flows, including TC rules and their actions, into hardware. * [PATCH 2/3] flow_offload: reject configuration of packet-per-second policing in offload drivers Teach all exiting users of the flow_offload API that allow offload of policer action instances to reject offload if packet-per-second rate limiting is configured: none support it at this time * [PATCH 3/3] net/sched: act_police: add support for packet-per-second policing With the above ground-work in place add the new feature to the TC policer action itself With the above in place the feature may be used. As follow-ups we plan to provide: * Corresponding updates to iproute2 * Corresponding self tests (which depend on the iproute2 changes) * Hardware offload support for the NFP driver Key changes since v2: * Added patches 1 and 2, which makes adding patch 3 safe for existing hardware offload of the policer action * Re-worked patch 3 so that a TC policer action instance may be configured for packet-per-second or byte-per-second rate limiting, but not both. * Corrected kdoc usage ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
