When adding a vxlan tc rule, and a neighbour isn't available, we don't insert any rule to hardware. Once we enable offloading flows with multiple priorities, a packet that should have matched this rule will continue in hardware pipeline and might match a wrong one. This is unlike in tc software path where it will be matched and forwarded to the vxlan device (which will cause a ARP lookup eventually) and stop processing further tc filters. To address that, when when a neighbour isn't available (EAGAIN from attach_encap), or gets deleted, change the original action to be a forward to slow path instead. Neighbour update will restore the original action once the neighbour becomes available. This will be done atomically so at any given time we will have a the correct match.

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.
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.
