Commit 0c3cbbf96def ("mlxsw: Add specific trap for packets routed via
invalid nexthops") allocated an adjacency entry during driver
initialization whose purpose is to discard packets hitting the route
pointing to it.
These adjacency entries are allocated from a resource called KVD linear
(KVDL). There are situations in which the user can decide to set the
size of this resource (via devlink-resource) to 0, in which case the
driver will not be able to load.
Therefore, instead of pre-allocating this adjacency entry, simply
allocate it only when needed. A variable indicating the validity of the
entry is added and is used to ensure it is only allocated and written
once and that it is freed after all the routes were flushed.

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.
