Re: [PATCH net-next 4/4] net/sched: act_mirred: Implement ingress actions

Up until now, 'action mirred' supported only egress actions (either
TCA_EGRESS_REDIR or TCA_EGRESS_MIRROR).

This patch implements the corresponding ingress actions
TCA_INGRESS_REDIR and TCA_INGRESS_MIRROR.

This allows attaching filters whose target is to hand matching skbs into
the rx processing of a specified device.

 Was wondering, whether netif_receive_skb or dev_forward_skb should be
 used for the rx bouncing. Used netif_receive_skb as in ifb device.

The discussion on this patch has ventured off into what to do about
recursion.

But it unclear to me where this specific patch, and this series,
stands right now.  Someone please clear this up for me.

Thanks.
