Subject: [PATCH nf-next 2/4] net: netfilter: Add encap_proto to flow_offload_tunnel
Date: Tue, 05 May 2026 16:49:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505-b4-flowtable-sw-accel-ip6ip-v1-2-9ac39ccc9ea9@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260505-b4-flowtable-sw-accel-ip6ip-v1-0-9ac39ccc9ea9@kernel.org>
Add encap_proto (AF_INET or AF_INET6) to struct flow_offload_tunnel
to allow its use as part of the hash table key during flowtable entry
lookup.
This is a preliminary change to support IPv4 over IPv6 tunneling via
the flowtable infrastructure for software acceleration.
