mainlining shenanigans
d62dd8a0c8
The driver uses 802.1Q FIDs when offloading a VLAN-aware bridge.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to assign a VNI to such FIDs, which
prompts the driver to forbid the enslavement of VxLAN devices to a
VLAN-aware bridge.
Workaround this hardware limitation by creating a new family of FIDs,
emulated 802.1Q FIDs. These FIDs are emulated using 802.1D FIDs, which
can be assigned a VNI.
The downside of this approach is that multiple {Port, VID}->FID entries
are required, whereas only a single VID->FID is required with "true"
802.1Q FIDs.

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.
