If a packet needs to be encapsulated towards a local destination IP, the packet will undergo a "local bypass" and be injected into the Rx path as if it was received by the target VXLAN device without undergoing encapsulation. If such a device does not exist, the packet will be dropped. There are scenarios where we do not want to perform such a bypass, but instead want the packet to be encapsulated and locally received by a user space program for post-processing. To that end, add a new VXLAN device attribute that controls whether a "local bypass" is performed or not. Default to performing a bypass to maintain existing behavior.

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.
