This patch introduces ecmp nexthops and nexthop groups for mac fdb entries. In subsequent patches this is used by the vxlan driver fdb entries. The use case is E-VPN multihoming [1,2,3] which requires bridged vxlan traffic to be load balanced to remote switches (vteps) belonging to the same multi-homed ethernet segment (This is analogous to a multi-homed LAG but over vxlan). Changes include new nexthop flag NHA_FDB for nexthops referenced by fdb entries. These nexthops only have ip. This patch includes appropriate checks to avoid routes referencing such nexthops. example: $ip nexthop add id 12 via 172.16.1.2 fdb $ip nexthop add id 13 via 172.16.1.3 fdb $ip nexthop add id 102 group 12/13 fdb $bridge fdb add 02:02:00:00:00:13 dev vxlan1000 nhid 101 self [1] E-VPN https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432 [2] E-VPN VxLAN: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8365 [3] LPC talk with mention of nexthop groups for L2 ecmp http://vger.kernel.org/lpc_net2018_talks/scaling_bridge_fdb_database_slidesV3.pdf v4 - fixed uninitialized variable reported by kernel test robot Reported-by: kernel test robot <rong.a.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
