Previously, TC block tunnel decap rules were only offloaded when a callback was triggered through registration of the rules egress device. This meant that the driver had no access to the ingress netdev and so could not verify it was the same tunnel type that the rule implied. Register tunnel devices for indirect TC block offloads in NFP, giving access to new rules based on the ingress device rather than egress. Use this to verify the netdev type of VXLAN and Geneve based rules and offload the rules to HW if applicable. Tunnel registration is done via a netdev notifier. On notifier registration, this is triggered for already existing netdevs. This means that NFP can register for offloads from devices that exist before it is loaded (filter rules will be replayed from the TC core). Similarly, on notifier unregister, a call is triggered for each currently active netdev. This allows the driver to unregister any indirect block callbacks that may still be active.

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.
