Adjust drivers that support the 'FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_META' key to reject filters that try to match on the newly added layer 2 miss field. Add an extack message to clearly communicate the failure reason to user space. The following users were not patched: 1. mtk_flow_offload_replace(): Only checks that the key is present, but does not do anything with it. 2. mlx5_tc_ct_set_tuple_match(): Used as part of netfilter offload, which does not make use of the new field, unlike tc. 3. get_netdev_from_rule() in nfp: Likewise. Example: # tc filter add dev swp1 egress pref 1 proto all flower skip_sw l2_miss true action drop Error: mlxsw_spectrum: Can't match on "l2_miss".

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.
