Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] net/sched: act_pedit: Support using offset relative to the conventional network headers

Hi,

Patch 1/3 ("net/skbuff: Introduce skb_mac_offset()") adds a utility function to
get mac header offset.

Patch 2/3 ("net/act_pedit: Support using offset relative to the conventional
network headers") extends pedit to enable the user to set offset relative to
MAC/IPv4/IPv6/TCP network headers.
This would enable to work with more complex header schemes (vs the simple IPv4
case) where setting a fixed offset relative to the network header is not
enough. It is also forward looking to enable hardware offloading of pedit more
easier.

The header type is embedded in the 8 MSB of the u32 key->shift which
were never used till now. Therefore backward compatibility is being
kept.

Patch 3/3 ("net/act_pedit: Introduce 'add' operation") add a new operation to
increase the value of a header field. The operation is passed on another free
8bit in the key->shift.

Usage example:
$ tc filter add dev enp0s9 protocol ip parent ffff: \
  flower \
    ip_proto tcp \
    src_port 80 \
  action \
	  pedit munge ip ttl add 0xff \
	  pedit munge tcp dport set 8080 \
	pipe action mirred egress redirect dev veth0

Will forward traffic with tcp dport 80, and modify the destination port to
8080, and decrease the ttl by 1.

I've uploaded a draft for the userspace [2] to make it easier to review and
test the patchset.

The patchset will conflict if already accepted patch [1] from net is missing.
It was applied and tested with [1] on top of commit 93ba22225504 ("hv_netvsc:
remove excessive logging on MTU change").

      branch: pedit

Thanks,
Amir
