Such action is used by OVS to represent TC S/W flows, and it's current largest bottle-neck is the need for a skb_clone() for each packet. The first 2 patches introduce some cleanup and safeguards to allow changing the TC_ACT_REDIRECT handling: currently the action context is stored in per CPU variables, and we allow also to use the tcf_result. Finally we use this extended infrastructure in act_mirred to implement redirect via TC_ACT_REDIRECT, when possible. Overall this the above gives a ~10% performance improvement in forwarding tput, when using the TC S/W datapath.
