In order to make a filter processed only by hardware, skip_sw flag
should be supplied. This is an addition to the already existing skip_hw
flag (filter will be processed by software only). If no flag is
specified, filter will be processed by both software and hardware.
If only hardware offloaded filters exist, fl_classify() will return
without doing anything.
A following userspace patch will be sent once kernel patch is accepted.
Example:
tc filter add dev enp0s9 protocol ip prio 20 parent ffff: \
flower \
ip_proto 6 \
indev enp0s9 \
skip_sw \
action skbedit mark 0x1234
