Users expect that when adding a steering filter for the local MAC address, that all the traffic directed to that address will go to some queue. Currently, it's not possible to configure entries in the "in use" state, which is the normal state of the local MAC address entry (it is the default), this patch allows to override the steering configuration of "in use" entries, if the filter to be added match the address and address type (source or destination) of an existing entry. There is a bit of a special handling for entries referring to the local MAC address, when they are removed, only the steering configuration is reset.

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.
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.
