After resilient next-hop groups have been added recently, there are two types of multipath next-hop groups: the legacy "mpath", and the new "resilient". Calling the legacy next-hop group type "mpath" is unfortunate, because that describes the fact that a packet could be forwarded in one of several paths, which is also true for the resilient next-hop groups. Therefore, to make the naming clearer, rename various artifacts to reflect the assumptions made. Therefore as of this patch: - The flag for multipath groups is nh_grp_entry::is_multipath. This includes the legacy and resilient groups, as well as any future group types that behave as multipath groups. Functions that assume this have "mpath" in the name. - The flag for legacy multipath groups is nh_grp_entry::hash_threshold. Functions that assume this have "hthr" in the name. - The flag for resilient groups is nh_grp_entry::resilient. Functions that assume this have "res" in the name. Besides the above, struct nh_grp_entry::mpath was renamed to ::hthr as well. UAPI artifacts were obviously left intact.

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.
