Older firmware only supports 16-bit flow handle, because of which the number of flows that can be offloaded can’t scale beyond a point. Newer firmware supports 64-bit flow handle enabling the host to scale upto millions of flows. With the new 64-bit flow handle support, driver has to query flow stats in a different way compared to the older approach. This patch adds support for 64-bit flow handle and new way to query flow stats.

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.
