A merge flow is formed from 2 sub flows. The match fields of the merge are the same as the first sub flow that has formed it, with the actions being a combination of the first and second sub flow. Therefore, a merge flow should replace sub flow 1 when offloaded. Offload valid merge flows by using a new 'flow mod' message type to replace an existing offloaded rule. Track the deletion of sub flows that are linked to a merge flow and revert offloaded merge rules if required.

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.
