Most drivers do the same thing to set up the flow block callbacks, this
patch adds a helper function to do this.
This preparation patch reduces the number of changes to adapt the
existing drivers to use the flow block callback API.
This new helper function takes a flow block list per-driver, which is
set to NULL until this driver list is used.
This patch also introduces the flow_block_command and
flow_block_binder_type enumerations, which are renamed to use
FLOW_BLOCK_* in follow up patches.
There are three definitions (aliases) in order to reduce the number of
updates in this patch, which go away once drivers are fully adapted to
use this flow block API.

The TC_ACT_REINSERT return type was added as an in-kernel only option to
allow a packet ingress or egress redirect. This is used to avoid
unnecessary skb clones in situations where they are not required. If a TC
hook returns this code then the packet is 'reinserted' and no skb consume
is carried out as no clone took place.
This return type is only used in act_mirred. Rather than have the reinsert
called from the main datapath, call it directly in act_mirred. Instead of
returning TC_ACT_REINSERT, change the type to the new TC_ACT_CONSUMED
which tells the caller that the packet has been stolen by another process
and that no consume call is required.
Moving all redirect calls to the act_mirred code is in preparation for
tracking recursion created by act_mirred.

Currently drivers can register to receive TC block bind/unbind callbacks
by implementing the setup_tc ndo in any of their given netdevs. However,
drivers may also be interested in binds to higher level devices (e.g.
tunnel drivers) to potentially offload filters applied to them.
Introduce indirect block devs which allows drivers to register callbacks
for block binds on other devices. The callback is triggered when the
device is bound to a block, allowing the driver to register for rules
applied to that block using already available functions.
Freeing an indirect block callback will trigger an unbind event (if
necessary) to direct the driver to remove any offloaded rules and unreg
any block rule callbacks. It is the responsibility of the implementing
driver to clean any registered indirect block callbacks before exiting,
if the block it still active at such a time.
Allow registering an indirect block dev callback for a device that is
already bound to a block. In this case (if it is an ingress block),
register and also trigger the callback meaning that any already installed
rules can be replayed to the calling driver.

TC shared blocks allow multiple qdiscs to be grouped together and filters
shared between them. Currently the chains of filters attached to a block
are only flushed when the block is removed. If a qdisc is removed from a
block but the block still exists, flow del messages are not passed to the
callback registered for that qdisc. For the NFP, this presents the
possibility of rules still existing in hw when they should be removed.
Prevent binding to shared blocks until the kernel can send per qdisc del
messages when block unbinds occur.

On unregistration of a callback, the rules are flushed for that given cb.

Currently, when the rule is not to be exclusively executed by the
hardware, extack is not passed along and offloading failures don't
get logged. The idea was that hardware failures are okay because the
rule will get executed in software then and this way it doesn't confuse
unware users.
But this is not helpful in case one needs to understand why a certain
rule failed to get offloaded. Considering it may have been a temporary
failure, like resources exceeded or so, reproducing it later and knowing
that it is triggering the same reason may be challenging.
The ultimate goal is to improve Open vSwitch debuggability when using
flower offloading.
This patch adds a new flag to enable verbose logging. With the flag set,
extack will be passed to the driver, which will be able to log the
error. As the operation itself probably won't fail (not because of this,
at least), current iproute will already log it as a Warning.
The flag is generic, so it can be reused later. No need to restrict it
just for HW offloading. The command line will follow the syntax that
tc-ebpf already uses, tc ... [ verbose ] ... , and extend its meaning.
For example:
# ./tc qdisc add dev p7p1 ingress
# ./tc filter add dev p7p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 \
flower verbose \
src_mac ed:13:db:00:00:00 dst_mac 01:80:c2:00:00:d0 \
