Up until now the driver assumed all the nexthops have an equal weight and wrote each to a single adjacency entry. This patch takes the `weight` parameter into account and populates the adjacency group according to the relative weight of each nexthop. Specifically, the weights of all the nexthops that should be offloaded are first normalized and then used to calculate the upper adjacency index of each nexthop. This is done according to the hash-threshold algorithm used by the kernel for IPv4 multi-path routing. Adjacency groups are currently limited to 32 entries which limits the weights that can be used, but follow-up patches will introduce groups of 512 entries.

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.
