Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Add neighbour offload indication Neighbour entries are programmed to the device's table so that the correct destination MAC will be specified in a packet after it was routed. Despite being programmed to the device and unlike routes and FDB entries, neighbour entries are currently not marked as offloaded. This patchset changes that. Patch #1 is a preparatory patch to make sure we only mark a neighbour as offloaded in case it was successfully programmed to the device. Patch #2 sets the offload indication on neighbours. Patch #3 adds a test to verify above mentioned functionality. Patched iproute2 version that prints the offload indication is available here [1].

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.
