[PATCH nf-next v4 2/6] net: netfilter: Add encap_proto to flow_offload_tunnel

Lorenzo Bianconi lorenzo at kernel.org
Fri Jul 3 07:10:37 PDT 2026


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.
