When offloading a TC encap action, the action information for the hardware might not be "ready": if there's currently no neighbour entry available for the destination address, we can't construct the Ethernet header to prepend to the packet. In this case, we still offload the flow rule, but with its action-set-list ID pointing at a "fallback" action which simply delivers the packet to its default destination (as though no flow rule had matched), thus allowing software TC to handle it. Later, when we receive a neighbouring update that allows us to construct the encap header, the rule will become "ready" and we will update its action-set-list ID in hardware to point at the actual offloaded actions. This patch sets up these fallback ASLs, but does not yet use them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
