If the CPU bandwidth capacity permits, it may be useful to mirror the
entire ingress of a user port to software.
This is in fact possible to express even if there is no net_device
representation for the CPU port. In fact, that representation wouldn't
have even helped.
The idea behind implementing this is that currently, we refuse to
offload any mirroring towards a non-DSA target net_device. But if we
acknowledge the fact that to reach any foreign net_device, the switch
must send the packet to the CPU anyway, then we can simply offload just
that part, and let the software do the rest.
Example:
$ ip link add dummy0 type dummy; ip link set dummy0 up
$ tc qdisc add dev swp0 clsact
$ tc filter add dev swp0 ingress matchall action mirred ingress mirror dev dummy0
