In the policy engine, each ACL rule points to an action block where the
ACL actions are stored. Each action block consists of one or more action
sets. Each action set holds one or more individual actions, up to a
maximum queried from the device. For example:
Action set #1 Action set #2
+----------+ +--------------+ +--------------+
| ACL rule +----------> Action #1 | +-----> Action #4 |
+----------+ +--------------+ | +--------------+
| Action #2 | | | Action #5 |
+--------------+ | +--------------+
| Action #3 +------+ | |
+--------------+ +--------------+
<---------+ Action block +----------------->
The hardware has a limitation that prevents a policing action
(MLXSW_AFA_POLCNT_CODE when used with a policer, not a counter) from
being configured in the same action set with a trap action (i.e.,
MLXSW_AFA_TRAP_CODE or MLXSW_AFA_TRAPWU_CODE). Note that the latter used
to implement multiple actions: 'trap', 'mirred', 'drop'.
Work around this limitation by teaching mlxsw_afa_block_append_action()
to create a new action set not only when there is no more room left in
the current set, but also when there is a conflict between previously
mentioned actions.

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.
