The qede driver supports for ethtool_rx_flow_spec and flower, both codebases look very similar. This patch uses the ethtool_rx_flow_rule() infrastructure to remove the duplicated ethtool_rx_flow_spec parser and consolidate ACL offload support around the flow_rule infrastructure. Furthermore, more code can be consolidated by merging qede_add_cls_rule() and qede_add_tc_flower_fltr(), these two functions also look very similar. This driver currently provides simple ACL support, such as 5-tuple matching, drop policy and queue to CPU. Drivers that support more features can benefit from this infrastructure to save even more redundant codebase. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
