Since commit eb789980d0 ("mlxsw: spectrum_router: Populate adjacency
entries according to weights") the driver includes support for
non-equal-cost multipath, but IPv4 nexthops were the only user.
Now that the kernel supports weighted IPv6 nexthops, we can extend the
driver to support it as well.
This is done by assigning each nexthop its configured weight, so that it
will be populated accordingly in the device's adjacency table. The
`weight` parameter is also taken into account when comparing nexthop
groups in order not to consolidate non-identical groups.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
