This will be used to implement a limited form of bridge offloading. Since the hardware does not support flow table entries with just source and destination MAC address, the driver has to emulate it. The hardware automatically creates entries entries for incoming flows, even when they are bridged instead of routed, and reports when packets for these flows have reached the minimum PPS rate for offloading. After this happens, we look up the L2 flow offload entry based on the MAC header and fill in the output routing information in the flow table. The dynamically created per-flow entries are automatically removed when either the hardware flowtable entry expires, is replaced, or if the offload rule they belong to is removed Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
