Applied, thank you! BTW no need to follow up on my else-after-return comment, just something to keep in mind.

Great, thank you. And thanks David for the awesome work on the nexthop infrastructure. > > BTW no need to follow up on my else-after-return comment, > just something to keep in mind. Ack

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> This patch set adds support for nexthop objects offload with a dummy implementation over netdevsim. mlxsw support will be added later. The general idea is very similar to route offload in that notifications are sent whenever nexthop objects are changed. A listener can veto the change and the error will be communicated to user space with extack. To keep listeners as simple as possible, they not only receive notifications for the nexthop object that is changed, but also for all the other objects affected by this change. For example, when a single nexthop is replaced, a replace notification is sent for the single nexthop, but also for all the nexthop groups this nexthop is member in. This relieves listeners from the need to track such dependencies. To simplify things further for listeners, the notification info does not contain the raw nexthop data structures (e.g., 'struct nexthop'), but less complex data structures into which the raw data structures are parsed into. Tested with a new selftest over netdevsim and with fib_nexthops.sh: Tests passed: 164 Tests failed: 0 Patch set overview: Patches #1-#4 introduce the aforementioned data structures and convert existing listeners (i.e., the VXLAN driver) to use them. Patches #5-#6 add a new RTNH_F_TRAP flag and the ability to set it and RTNH_F_OFFLOAD on nexthops. This flag is used by netdevsim for testing purposes and will also be used by mlxsw. These flags are consistent with the existing RTM_F_OFFLOAD and RTM_F_TRAP flags. Patches #7-#14 gradually add the new nexthop notifications. Patches #15-#18 add a dummy implementation for nexthop offload over netdevsim and a selftest to exercise both good and bad flows.
