mainlining shenanigans
If the "offload" attribute is used to create an IPsec SA and the .xdo_dev_state_add() fails, the SA creation fails. However, if the "offload" attribute is used on a device that doesn't offer it, the attribute is quietly ignored and the SA is created without an offload. Along the same line of that second case, it would be good to have a way for the device to refuse to offload an SA without failing the whole SA creation. This patch adds that feature by allowing the driver to return -EOPNOTSUPP as a signal that the SA may be fine, it just can't be offloaded. This allows the user a little more flexibility in requesting offloads and not needing to know every detail at all times about each specific NIC when trying to create SAs.

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. 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.
