Before this patch the following commands would succeed as far as the
user was concerned:
$ tc qdisc add dev p1p1 ingress
$ tc filter add dev p1p1 parent ffff: protocol all \
flower skip_sw action drop
$ tc filter add dev p1p1 parent ffff: protocol ipv4 \
flower skip_sw src_mac 00:02:00:00:00:01/44 action drop
The current flow offload infrastructure used does not support wildcard
matching for ethernet headers, so do not allow the second or third
commands to succeed. If a user wants to drop traffic on that interface
the protocol and MAC addresses need to be specified explicitly:
$ tc qdisc add dev p1p1 ingress
$ tc filter add dev p1p1 parent ffff: protocol arp \
flower skip_sw action drop
$ tc filter add dev p1p1 parent ffff: protocol ipv4 \
flower skip_sw action drop
...
$ tc filter add dev p1p1 parent ffff: protocol ipv4 \
flower skip_sw src_mac 00:02:00:00:00:01 action drop
$ tc filter add dev p1p1 parent ffff: protocol ipv4 \
flower skip_sw src_mac 00:02:00:00:00:02 action drop
...
There are also checks for VLAN parameters in this patch as other callers
may wildcard those parameters even if tc does not. Using different
flow infrastructure could allow this to work in the future for L2 flows,
but for now it does not.

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.
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.
