Some tc actions are modeled in hardware using multiple tables causing a tc action list split. For example, CT action is modeled by jumping to a ct table which is controlled by nf flowtable. sFlow jumps in hardware to a sample table, which continues to a "default table" where it should continue processing the action list. Multi table actions are modeled in hardware using a unique fte_id. The fte_id is set before jumping to a table. Split actions continue to a post-action table where the matched fte_id value continues the execution the tc action list. Currently the post-action design is implemented only by the ct action. Introduce post action infrastructure as a pre-step for reusing it with the sFlow offload feature. Init and destroy the common post action table. Refactor the ct offload to use the common post table infrastructure in the next patch.

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.
