It prepare a gate list array parameters for offloading.  So the driver side would not link the data with protocol side. Destructor would free the temporary gate list array.

I understand here with actions are: 
Each tc flower follow up with actions. Each action defined:

struct flow_action_entry {
	enum flow_action_id             id;
	action_destr                    destructor;
	void                            *destructor_priv;
	union {
		......
		{}sample,
		{}police,
		{}gate,
	}
}

So for the destructor and destructor_priv are provided specific for the union action. So it is not gate specific. For mirror action, destructor_priv would be point to a mirror device data. 
I suppose it is for destroy the temporary  data like it name.  And after tc_setup_flow_action() loaded, the destructor function would be loaded by tc_cleanup_flow_action() to destroy and free the temporary data.

Code flow is :
net/sched/cls_flower.c
	static int fl_hw_replace_filter()
	{
		......
		tc_setup_flow_action(); ---------------------------------------> assign action parameters (with the destructor and destructor_priv if the action needed)
		......
		tc_setup_cb_add() ----------------------------------------------> call the driver provide rules with actions datas for device
		......
		tc_cleanup_flow_action(&cls_flower.rule->action);  ---> loading each action''s destructor(destructor_priv)
	}

So for each action would be with its private destructor and destructor_priv if the action needed, and then destroyed at tc_cleanup_flow_action(). 

Did I misunderstand anything?

Thanks!
