sched: act: allow user to specify type of HW stats for a filter
Currently, user who is adding an action expects HW to report stats, however it does not have exact expectations about the stats types. That is aligned with TCA_ACT_HW_STATS_TYPE_ANY. Allow user to specify the type of HW stats for an action and require it. Pass the information down to flow_offload layer. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
