Add functionality for calling the multicast routing offloading logic upon MFC and VIF add and delete notifications. In addition, call the multicast routing upon RIF addition and deletion events. As the multicast routing offload logic may sleep, the actual calls are done in a deferred work. To ensure the MFC object is not freed in that interval, a reference is held to it. In case of a failure, the abort mechanism is used, which ejects all the routes from the hardware and triggers the traffic to flow through the kernel. Note: At that stage, the FIB notifications are still ignored, and will be enabled in a further patch.

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.
