> This commit consists of 3 patches:
> 
> patch1 (1/3):
> The VLAN action maintains one set of stats across all cores, and uses a
> spinlock to synchronize updates to it from the same. Changed this to use a
> per-CPU stats context instead.
> This change will result in better performance.
> 
> patch2 (2/3):
> Modified netronome nfp flower action to use VLAN helper functions instead
> of accessing/referencing TC act_vlan private structures directly. 
> 
> patch3 (3/3):
> Using a spinlock in the VLAN action causes performance issues when the VLAN
> action is used on multiple cores. Rewrote the VLAN action to use RCU read
> locking for reads and updates instead.
> All functions now use an RCU dereferenced pointer to access the VLAN action
> context. Modified helper functions used by other modules, to use the RCU as
> opposed to directly accessing the structure.
> 
> As part of this review, there were some changes suggested by reviewers.
> I have incorporated all the changes that were requested.
