Currently, a SPAN agent can only be bound to a per-port trigger where
the trigger is either an incoming packet (INGRESS) or an outgoing packet
(EGRESS) to / from the port.
A follow-up patch set will introduce the concept of global triggers and
per-{port, TC} enablement. With global triggers, the trigger entry is
only keyed by a trigger and not by a port and a trigger. The trigger can
be, for example, a packet that was early dropped.
While the binding between the SPAN agent and the trigger is performed
only once, the trigger entry needs to be reference counted, as the
trigger can be enabled on multiple ports.
Add APIs to bind / unbind a SPAN agent to a trigger and reference count
the trigger entry in preparation for global triggers.

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.
