8000 series adapters support filtering VXLAN, NVGRE and GENEVE traffic based on inner fields, and when the NIC recognises such traffic, it does not match unencapsulated traffic filters any more. So add catch- all filters for encapsulated traffic on supporting platforms. Although recognition of VXLAN and GENEVE is based on UDP ports, and thus will not occur until the driver (on the primary PF) notifies the firmware of UDP ports to use, NVGRE will always be recognised, hence without this patch 8000 series adapters will drop all NVGRE traffic.

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.
