This introduces some common code for tracking of offloaded IP-in-IP tunnels, and support for offloading IPv4 overlay encapsulating routes in particular. A follow-up patch will introduce IPv6 overlay as well. Offloaded tunnels are kept in a linked list of mlxsw_sp_ipip_entry objects hooked up in mlxsw_sp_router. A network device that represents the tunnel is used as a key to look up the corresponding IPIP entry. Note that in the future, more general keying mechanism will be needed, because parts of the tunnel information can be provided by the route. IPIP entries are reference counted, because several next hops may end up using the same tunnel, and we only want to offload it once. Encapsulation path hooks into next hop handling. Routes that forward to a tunnel are now considered gateway routes, thus giving them the same treatment that other remote routes get. An IPIP next hop type is introduced. Details of individual tunnel types are kept in an array of mlxsw_sp_ipip_ops objects. If a tunnel type doesn't match any of the known tunnel types, the next-hop is not considered an IPIP next hop. The list of IPIP tunnel types is currently empty, follow-up patches will add support for GRE. Traffic to IPIP tunnel types that are not explicitly recognized by the driver traps and is handled in slow path.

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.
