Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Add support for nexthop objects This patch set adds support for nexthop objects in mlxsw. Nexthop objects are treated as another front-end for programming nexthops, in addition to the existing IPv4 and IPv6 front-ends. Patch #1 registers a listener to the nexthop notification chain and parses the nexthop information into the existing mlxsw data structures that are already used by the IPv4 and IPv6 front-ends. Blackhole nexthops are currently rejected. Support will be added in a follow-up patch set. Patch #2 extends mlxsw to resolve its internal nexthop objects from the nexthop identifier encoded in the FIB info of the notified routes. Patch #3 finally removes the limitation of rejecting routes that use nexthop objects. Patch #4 adds a selftest. Patches #5-#8 add generic forwarding selftests that can be used with veth pairs or physical loopbacks. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201119130848.407918-1-idosch@idosch.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

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.
