[PATCH net-next 5/5] net/mlx5e: TC, Don't offload CT commit if it's the last action

From: Tariq Toukan
Date: Wed Mar 19 2025 - 10:36:37 EST


From: Jianbo Liu <jianbol@xxxxxxxxxx>

For CT action with commit argument, it's usually followed by the
forward action, either to the output netdev or next chain. The default
behavior for software is to drop by setting action attribute to
TC_ACT_SHOT instead of TC_ACT_PIPE if it's the last action. But driver
can't handle it, so block the offload for such case.
