The approach for offloading IP tunnels implemented currently by mlxsw doesn't allow two tunnels that have the same local IP address in the same (underlay) VRF. Previously, offloads were introduced on demand as encap routes were formed. When such a route was created that would cause offload of a conflicting tunnel, mlxsw_sp_ipip_entry_create() would detect it and return -EEXIST, which would propagate up and cause FIB abort. Now however IPIP entries are created as soon as an offloadable netdevice is created, and the failure prevents creation of such device. Furthermore, if the driver is installed at the point where such conflicting tunnels exist, the failure actually prevents successful modprobe. Furthermore, follow-up patches implement handling of NETDEV_CHANGE due to the local address change. However, NETDEV_CHANGE can't be vetoed. The failure merely means that the offloads weren't updated, but the change in Linux configuration is not rolled back. It is thus desirable to have a robust way of handling these conflicts, which can later be reused for handling NETDEV_CHANGE as well. To fix this, when a conflicting tunnel is created, instead of failing, simply pull the old tunnel to slow path and reject offloading the new one. Introduce two functions: mlxsw_sp_ipip_entry_demote_tunnel() and mlxsw_sp_ipip_demote_tunnel_by_saddr() to handle this. Make them both public, because they will be useful later on in this patchset.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
