Setting the skb packet type field to host is usually done when performing forwarding to ingress device. This is required since the receive handling that is used by the redirect to ingress action checks whether the packet doesn't belong to this host and drops the packet in such case. In order to be able to offload action redirect ingress, tc offload code needs to accept the skbedit ptype action as well. There's no special handling in HW for such action since it will be followed by a redirect action and therefore, this code only allows us to accept such action in the actions list but not performing anything specific in HW for it.

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.
