Offloaded OvS datapath rules are translated one to one to tc rules, for example the following simplified OvS rule: recirc_id(0),in_port(dev1),eth_type(0x0800),ct_state(-trk) actions:ct(),recirc(2) Will be translated to the following tc rule: $ tc filter add dev dev1 ingress \ prio 1 chain 0 proto ip \ flower tcp ct_state -trk \ action ct pipe \ action goto chain 2 Received packets will first travel though tc, and if they aren't stolen by it, like in the above rule, they will continue to OvS datapath. Since we already did some actions (action ct in this case) which might modify the packets, and updated action stats, we would like to continue the proccessing with the correct recirc_id in OvS (here recirc_id(2)) where we left off. To support this, introduce a new skb extension for tc, which will be used for translating tc chain to ovs recirc_id to handle these miss cases. Last tc chain index will be set by tc goto chain action and read by OvS datapath.

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.
