Thanks Jamal, appreciate any details.
Was wondering why it's missing, googled a bit with no meaningful
results, so speculated the following:
Some time long ago, initial 'mirred' purpose was to facilitate ifb.
Therefore 'egress redirect' was implemented. Jamal probably left the
'ingress' support for a later time :)
One interesting usecase for 'ingress redirect' is creating "rx bouncing"
construct (like macvlan/macvtap/ipvlan) but applied according to custom
logic.

Could be, but personally, I treat these constructs as (powerful)
building blocks, and "with great power comes great responsibility".
Even today, one may create loops using existing 'egress redirect',
e.g. this rediculously errorneous construct:
# ip l add v0 type veth peer name v0p
# tc filter add dev v0p parent ffff: basic \
action mirred egress redirect dev v0

Shmulik
