For future support of CT offload with nic tc flows, where the flow rule is not created immediately but rather following a future event, the patch is splitting the nic rule creation and deletion into 2 parts: 1. Creating/Deleting and setting the rule attributes. 2. Creating/Deleting the flow table and flow rule itself. This way the attributes can be prepared and stored in the flow handle when the tc flow is created but the rule can actually be created at any point in the future, using these pre allocated attributes.

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.
