Currently, the encap action offload is handled in the actions parse
function and not in mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow() where we deal with all
the other aspects of offloading actions (vlan, modify header) and
the rule itself.
When the neigh update code (mlx5e_tc_encap_flows_add()) recreates the
encap entry and offloads the related flows, we wrongly call again into
mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow(), this for itself would cause us to handle
again the offloading of vlans and header re-write which puts things
in non consistent state and step on freed memory (e.g the modify
header parse buffer which is already freed).
Since on error, mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow() detaches and may release the
encap entry, it causes a corruption at the neigh update code which goes
over the list of flows associated with this encap entry, or double free
when the tc flow is later deleted by user-space.
When neigh update (mlx5e_tc_encap_flows_del()) unoffloads the flows related
to an encap entry which is now invalid, we do a partial repeat of the eswitch
flow removal code which is wrong too.
To fix things up we do the following:
(1) handle the encap action offload in the eswitch flow add function
mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow() as done for the other actions and the rule itself.
(2) modify the neigh update code (mlx5e_tc_encap_flows_add/del) to only
deal with the encap entry and rules delete/add and not with any of
the other offloaded actions.

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.
