Re: [PATCH net-next V4 01/14] net/mlx5e: Generalize TC <-> IPsec mutual exclusion

From: Cosmin Ratiu <redacted> There is a mechanism to mutually exclude TC offload and IPsec offload from the same interface (commit [1]) due to ordering issues between SW and HW paths. TC offload makes use of flow_tag to carry the tc mark (even when 0). Upcoming changes to accel protocols will make use of flow_tag to carry the protocol marker. As the flow_tag cannot be partially modified by a steering rule, the last rule setting the flow_tag will overwrite any previous ones. This means that TC offload cannot be active at the same time with any of the currently implemented accel protocols (IPsec, MACsec, PSP).
