The classifier should cover the most common use case and will work
without any special configuration.
The principle of the classifier is to directly access the
task_struct via get_current(). In order for this to work,
classification requests from softirqs must be ignored. This is
not a problem because the vast majority of packets in softirq
context are not assigned to a task anyway. For this to work, a
mechanism is needed to trace softirq context.
This repost goes back to the method of relying on the number of
nested bh disable calls for the sake of not adding too much
complexity and the option to come up with something more reliable
if actually needed.

Provide a way to use tc filters on vlan tag even if tag is buried in
skb due to hardware acceleration.

Add new "flow" classifier, which is meant to extend the SFQ hashing
capabilities without hard-coding new hash functions and also allows
deterministic mappings of keys to classes, replacing some out of tree
iptables patches like IPCLASSIFY (maps IPs to classes), IPMARK (maps
IPs to marks, with fw filters to classes), ...
Some examples:
- Classic SFQ hash:
tc filter add ... flow hash \
keys src,dst,proto,proto-src,proto-dst divisor 1024
- Classic SFQ hash, but using information from conntrack to work properly in
combination with NAT:
tc filter add ... flow hash \
keys nfct-src,nfct-dst,proto,nfct-proto-src,nfct-proto-dst divisor 1024
- Map destination IPs of 192.168.0.0/24 to classids 1-257:
tc filter add ... flow map \
key dst addend -192.168.0.0 divisor 256
- alternatively:
tc filter add ... flow map \
key dst and 0xff
- similar, but reverse ordered:
tc filter add ... flow map \
key dst and 0xff xor 0xff
Perturbation is currently not supported because we can't reliable kill the
timer on destruction.

Support masking the nfmark value before the search. The mask value is
global for all filters contained in one instance. It can only be set
when a new instance is created, all filters must specify the same mask.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
