This patch updates the flowtable documentation to describe recent enhancements: - Offload action is available after the first packets go through the classic forwarding path. - IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. Only TCP and UDP layer 4 are supported at this stage. - Tuple has been augmented to track VLAN id and PPPoE session id. - Bridge and IP forwarding integration, including bridge VLAN filtering support. - Hardware offload support. - Describe the [OFFLOAD] and [HW_OFFLOAD] tags in the conntrack table listing. - Replace 'flow offload' by 'flow add' in example rulesets (preferred syntax). - Describe existing cache limitations.

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.
