Currently, fs_core layer provides flow steering services to the driver including: autogroups, allocating FTEs (flow table entries) and FTE ids, and support of fte action modification. If then software steering is configured, rule insertion will go through a translation layer from firmware buffers to software steering objects (see fs_dr.c). The connection tracking table is a system table that is not directly controlled by the user and is a very high scale table. These fs_core services introduces an overhead that may be optimized by using software steering API directly. Introduce ct flow steering interface to allow multiple flow steering providers. Use the new interface to implement the current dmfs (device managed flow steering) provider which uses fs_core insertion.

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.
