Currently, the flow director rule of aRFS is configured in
the IO path. It's time-consuming. So move out the configuration,
and configure it asynchronously. And keep ethtool and tc flower
rule using synchronous way, otherwise the application maybe
unable to know the rule is installed or pending.
Add a state member for each flow director rule to indicate the
rule state. There are 4 states:
TO_ADD: the rule is waiting to add to hardware
TO_DEL: the rule is waiting to remove from hardware
DELETED: the rule has been removed from hardware. It's a middle
state, used to remove the rule node in the fd_rule_list.
ACTIVE: the rule is already added in hardware
For asynchronous way, when receive a new request to add or delete
flow director rule by aRFS, update the rule list, then request to
schedule the service task to finish the configuration.
For synchronous way, when receive a new request to add or delete
flow director rule by ethtool or tc flower, configure hardware
directly, then update the rule list if success.

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.
