The previous code was optimistic, accepting the offload of whole action
chain when there was a single known action (drop/redirect). This results
in offloading a rule which should not be offloaded, because its behavior
cannot be reproduced in the hardware.
For example:
$ tc filter add dev eno1 parent ffff: protocol ip \
u32 ht 800: order 1 match tcp src 42 FFFF \
action mirred egress mirror dev enp1s16 pipe \
drop
The controller is unable to mirror the packet to a VF, but still
offloads the rule by dropping the packet.
Change the approach of the function to a pessimistic one, rejecting the
chain when an unknown action is found. This is better suited for future
extensions.
Note that both recognized actions always return TC_ACT_SHOT, therefore
it is safe to ignore actions behind them.

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.
