Tx flow steering consists of two flow tables (FTs). The first FT (crypto table) has two fixed rules: One default miss rule so non MACsec offloaded packets bypass the MACSec tables, another rule to make sure that MACsec key exchange (MKE) traffic passes unencrypted as expected (matched of ethertype). On each new MACsec offload flow, a new MACsec rule is added. This rule is matched on metadata_reg_a (which contains the id of the flow) and invokes the MACsec offload action on match. The second FT (check table) has two fixed rules: One rule for verifying that the previous offload actions were finished successfully and packet need to be transmitted. Another default rule for dropping packets that were failed in the offload actions. The MACsec FTs should be created on demand when the first MACsec rule is added and destroyed when the last MACsec rule is deleted.

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.
