Currently, nexthops are programmed with either forward or discard action (for blackhole nexthops). Nexthops that do not have a valid MAC address (neighbour) or router interface (RIF) are simply not written to the adjacency table. In resilient nexthop groups, the size of the group must remain fixed and the kernel is in complete control of the layout of the adjacency table. A nexthop without a valid MAC or RIF will therefore be written with a trap action, to trigger neighbour resolution. Allow such nexthops to be programmed to the adjacency table to enable above mentioned use case.

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.
