+Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_flow_table: add hardware offload support
+
+This patch adds the infrastructure to offload flows to hardware, in case
+the nic/switch comes with built-in flow tables capabilities.
+
+If the hardware comes with no hardware flow tables or they have
+limitations in terms of features, the existing infrastructure falls back
+to the software flow table implementation.
+
+The software flow table garbage collector skips entries that resides in
+the hardware, so the hardware will be responsible for releasing this
+flow table entry too via flow_offload_dead().
+
+Hardware configuration, either to add or to delete entries, is done from
+the hardware offload workqueue, to ensure this is done from user context
+given that we may sleep when grabbing the mdio mutex.

+Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_flow_table: support hw offload through
+ virtual interfaces
+
+There are hardware offload devices that support offloading VLANs and
+PPPoE devices. Additionally, it is useful to be able to offload packets
+routed through bridge interfaces as well.
+Add support for finding the path to the offload device through these
+virtual interfaces, while collecting useful parameters for the offload
+device, like VLAN ID/protocol, PPPoE session and Ethernet MAC address.

+Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_flow_table: rework hardware offload timeout
+ handling
+
+Some offload implementations send keepalive packets + explicit
+notifications of TCP FIN/RST packets. In this case it is more convenient
+to simply let the driver update flow->timeout handling and use the
+regular flow offload gc step.
+
+For drivers that manage their own lifetime, a separate flag can be set
+to avoid gc timeouts.
