There are several cases where traffic that would normally be forwarded in silicon needs to be observed in slow path. That's achieved by trapping such traffic, and the functions trap_install() and trap_uninstall() realize that. However, such treatment is obviously wrong if the device in question is actually a soft device not backed by an ASIC. Therefore try to trap if possible, but fall back to inserting a continue if not.

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.
