Route adds will not be marked as OFFLOAD. Routes will be > installed in the kernel FIB, as usual. > > This was report/fixed by Florian when testing DSA driver with net-next on > devices with L2 offload support but no L3 offload support. What he reported > was an initial route installed from DHCP client would fail (route not > installed to kernel FIB). This was triggering the setting of > ipv4.fib_offload_disabled, which would disable route offloading after the > first failure. So subsequent attempts to install the route would succeed. > > There is follow-on work/discussion to address the handling of route install > failures, but for now, let's differentiate between no support and failed > support. > > Reported-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@...il.com> > Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman <sfeldma@...il.com> Applied, thanks everyone. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
