This patch adds a field to the tls rx offload context which enables drivers to force a send_resync call. This field can be used by drivers to request a resync at the next possible tls record. It is beneficial for hardware that provides the resync sequence number asynchronously. In such cases, the packet that triggered the resync does not contain the information required for a resync. Instead, the driver requests resync for all the following TLS record until the asynchronous notification with the resync request TCP sequence arrives. A following series for mlx5e ConnectX-6DX TLS RX offload support will use this mechanism.

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.
