Merge branch 'per-nexthop-offload'



Jiri Pirko says:

====================
ipv4: fib: Provide per-nexthop offload indication

Ido says:

Offload indication for IPv4 routes is currently set in the FIB info's
flags. When multipath routes are employed, this can lead to a route being
marked as offloaded although only one of its nexthops is actually
offloaded.

Instead, this patchset aims to proivde a higher resolution for the offload
indication and report it on a per-nexthop basis.

Example output from patched iproute:

$ ip route show 192.168.200.0/24
192.168.200.0/24
        nexthop via 192.168.100.2 dev enp3s0np7 weight 1 offload
        nexthop via 192.168.101.3 dev enp3s0np8 weight 1

And once the second gateway is resolved:

$ ip route show 192.168.200.0/24
192.168.200.0/24
        nexthop via 192.168.100.2 dev enp3s0np7 weight 1 offload
        nexthop via 192.168.101.3 dev enp3s0np8 weight 1 offload

First patch teaches the kernel to look for the offload indication in the
nexthop flags. Patches 2-5 adjust current capable drivers to provide
offload indication on a per-nexthop basis. Last patch removes no longer
used functions to set offload indication in the FIB info's flags.
