Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next 0/2] Extract IFE logic to module

Extract ife logic from the tc_ife action into an independent module, and
make the tc_ife action use it. This way, the ife encapsulation can be used
by other modules other than tc_ife action.

I have no objection to this modularisation but I am curious to know
if you have a use-case in mind. My understanding is that earlier versions
of the sample action used IFE but that is not the case in the version that
was ultimately accepted.

Hi Simon.

You are right that the patches were done for the former version of the sample
classifier, and there are not required for the current version. We don't have
current use-case in mind, but I did send the patches because I think it can help
others, or us in the future.
