This patch offloads the classid to hardware and uses the classid reserved in the range :ffe0 - :ffef to identify hardware traffic classes reported via dev->num_tc. tcf_result structure contains the class ID of the class to which the packet belongs and is offloaded to hardware via flower filter. A new helper function is introduced to represent HW traffic classes 0 through 15 using the reserved classid values :ffe0 - :ffef.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
