      iproute2: unify naming for entries offloaded to hardware · aa05b988
      Andy Gospodarek authored
      The kernel now has the capability to offload FDB and FIB entries to hardware.
      It is important to let users know if table entries are also offloaded to
      hardware.  Currently offloaded FDB entries are indicated by the existence of
      the flag 'external' on the entry as of the following commit:

          bridge/fdb: add flag/indication for FDB entry synced from offload device
      
      When the patch to add support for indicating that FIB entries were also
      offloaded as posted to netdev by Scott Feldman it became clear that 'external'
      would not be an ideal name for routes.  There could definitely be confusion
      about what this might mean since many routes are to external networks -- a
      collision/confusion that did not happen with FDB.
      
      Scott Feldman asked me to check with others and build concensus around a name.
      After speaking with several people about this I am proposing we refer to both
      FDB and FIB entries that are currently backed by hardware (based on the work
      done in rocker) with the flag 'offload' appended to the end ofthe entry.
      
      Some people liked the string 'external,' others liked 'hardware,' but the point
      is to communicate that these routes are available to something that will will
      offload the forwarding normally done by the kernel.  Since the term 'offload'
      is used so frequently it seems appropriate to use the same language in
      ip/bridge output.
      
      The term 'offload' also seems to resonate with many of the people who have
      responded on Scott's original thread or to those who I reached out to directly
      and did respond to my query, so it seems we have reached consensus that it
      should be the term used going forward.

      ipnetns: add a runtime check for RTM_GETNSID support · 4c7d9a58
      Nicolas Dichtel authored
      The goal of this patch is to test during the runtime if the command RTM_GETNSID
      is supported by the kernel.
