MAC addresses along with an identifying index are offloaded to firmware to allow tunnel decapsulation. If a tunnel packet arrives with a matching destination MAC address and a verified index, it can continue on the decapsulation process. This replicates the MAC verifications carried out in the kernel network stack. When a netdev is added to a bridge (e.g. OvS) then packets arriving on that dev are directed through the bridge datapath instead of passing through the network stack. Therefore, tunnelled packets matching the MAC of that dev will not be decapped here. Replicate this behaviour on firmware by removing offloaded MAC addresses when a MAC representer is added to an OvS bridge. This can prevent any false positive tunnel decaps.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
