This action allows the user to sample traffic matched by tc classifier.
The sampling consists of choosing packets randomly and sampling them using
the psample module. The user can configure the psample group number, the
sampling rate and the packet's truncation (to save kernel-user traffic).

Example:
To sample ingress traffic from interface eth1, one may use the commands:

tc qdisc add dev eth1 handle ffff: ingress

tc filter add dev eth1 parent ffff: \
	   matchall action sample rate 12 group 4

Where the first command adds an ingress qdisc and the second starts
sampling randomly with an average of one sampled packet per 12 packets on
dev eth1 to psample group 4.

Is the tc user-space (iproute2) code available yet?

Yes it is. I thought about sending it the moment the kernel patches gets 
accepted.

Do you want it to send it directly to you?

Copy-n-paste from mirred aciton? This is not needed for you, mirred
needs it because of target netdevice.

I don't think you can just return here, needs tcf_hash_cleanup() for create
case, right?

Do you need tcf_lock here if RCU only protects ->psample_group??

Cong, after some thinking I think I don't really need the tcf_lock here. I
don't really care if the truncate, trunc_size, rate and tcf_action are
consistent among themselves - the only parameter that I care about is the
psample_group pointer, and it is protected via RCU. As far as I see, there is
no need to lock here.

I do need to take the tcf_lock to protect the statistics update in the 
tcf_sample_act code, as far as I see.

Am I missing something?
