Previous patches added support for two hardware flags for IPv4 and IPv6 routes: 'RTM_F_OFFLOAD' and 'RTM_F_TRAP'. Both indicate the presence of the route in hardware. The first indicates that traffic is actually offloaded from the kernel, whereas the second indicates that packets hitting such routes are trapped to the kernel for processing (e.g., host routes). Use these two flags in mlxsw. The flags are modified in two places. Firstly, whenever a route is updated in the device's table. This includes the addition, deletion or update of a route. For example, when a host route is promoted to perform NVE decapsulation, its action in the device is updated, the 'RTM_F_OFFLOAD' flag set and the 'RTM_F_TRAP' flag cleared. Secondly, when a route is replaced and overwritten by another route, its flags are cleared. v2: * Convert to new fib_alias_hw_flags_set() interface Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Acked-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
