Sorry to make you confusing. I would make a clear description.
Before that, I just try to explain what the patch do here so you can provide more suggestion.
To get the stats in the tc flower offloading(by flag FLOW_CLS_STATS), it saves in the 'struct flow_stats' in the ' struct flow_cls_offload '. But the ' struct flow_stats ' only include the packages numbers. Some actions like policing also this 0002/0003 patch introduce stream gate action would produce dropped frames which is important for user evaluation. The packages number(pkts in struct flow_stats) and dropped number relation should be 'pkts' is how many frames were filtered, and 'dropped' number is how many frames dropped in those 'pkts'.
Eventually, the stats updated by the struct tc_action 's operation stats_update(). To implement add dropped number, then add parameter 'dropped' in the related functions: ops->stats_update/tcf_exts_stats_update() and also the tcf_action_update_stats(). There is a bool parameter 'drop' which is using now, can be understand the stats updating is for update for 'drop' count or not. But this flag is not useless as I checked in current kernel code(correct me if it is not). So replace the bool 'drop' flag with 'dropped' number in tcf_action_update_stats(). Make the tcf_action_update_stats() shows how many ' packets' updated and how many 'dropped' number in these 'packets'.
Thanks!
