Up until now, the only FIB entries that were associated with a nexthop
group were routes to remote networks where all the nexthop devices had a
valid router interface (RIF). This is in contrast to the FIB code,
where all the routes are associated with a FIB info. The same design
choice needs to be applied to the driver's cache.
Based on the NH_{ADD,DEL} events which will be added later in the
patchset, we need to be able to change the action (forward / trap)
associated with all the routes using the nexthop group. However, if we
can't link between the nexthop and the routes using it, then the above
is impossible.

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.
