Use Geneve TLV Options object to manage the flex parser matching on the 32-bit options data. When the first flow with a certain class/type values is requested to be offloaded, create a FW object with FW command (Geneve TLV Options general object) and start counting the number of flows using this object. During this time, any request with a different class/type values will fail to be offloaded. Once the refcount reaches 0, destroy the TLV options general object, and can now offload a flow with any class/type parameters. Geneve TLV Options object is added to core device. It is currently used to manage Geneve TLV options general object allocation in FW and its reference counting only. In the future it will also be used for managing geneve ports by registering callbacks for ndo_udp_tunnel_add/del.

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.
