Unlike encapsulation, which is represented by a next hop forwarding to
an IPIP tunnel, decapsulation is a type of local route. It is created
for local routes whose prefix corresponds to the local address of one of
offloaded IPIP tunnels. When the tunnel is removed (i.e. all the encap
next hops are removed), the decap offload is migrated back to a trap for
resolution in slow path.

This patch assumes that decap route is already present when encap route
is added. A follow-up patch will fix this issue.

Note that this patch only supports IPv4 underlay. Support for IPv6
underlay will be subject to follow-up work apart from this patchset.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
