When tunneling is used, some virtualizations systems set the (mlx5e) uplink
device to be stacked under upper devices such as bridge or ovs internal
port, where the VTEP IP address used for the encapsulation is set on
that upper device.
In order to support such use-cases, we also deal with a setup where the
egress mirred device isn't representing a port on the HW e-switch to where
the ingress device belongs. We use eswitch service function which returns
the uplink and set it as the egress device of the tc encap rule.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
