There are no iproute2 patches, as TC_ACT_REINJECT is not accessible
from user-space: act_mirred will use such value when possible.

User-space can have any notion of the above only via the perf tool
and/or performances tests ;)

An use case is the OVS TC S/W datapath. openvswitch alreday leverage
this when configured with:

other_config:hw-offload=true
other_config:tc-policy=none

As said, there is no user-space change. AFAICS the current act_mirred
self tests already cover this. Do you have other things in mind?

Cheers,

Paolo
