FDB entries that perform VXLAN encapsulation with an IPv6 underlay hold
a reference on a resource - the KVDL entry where the IPv6 underlay
destination IP is stored. For that, the driver maintains two hash tables:
1. Maps IPv6 to KVDL index
2. Maps {MAC, FID index} to IPv6 address
When a FDB entry is removed, the second table is used to find the relevant
IPv6 address and the first table is used to remove the reference count and
free the index if is not used anymore.
In order for a packet to be forwarded to a single remote VTEP, FDB
entries need to be configured at both the bridge and VXLAN devices' FDB
tables. Both entries are squashed into one {MAC, VLAN/VNI} -> IP entry
in the hardware. Therefore, in case one entry is removed, the entry will
be removed from the hardware and the remaining entry will be unmarked
with 'offload' flag since it is not offloaded anymore.
For example, the two FDB entries should be added to allow packets to be
forwarded via vx10:
$ bridge fdb add dev vx10 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff self static dst 2001:db8:5::1
$ bridge fdb add dev vx10 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff master static vlan 10
When one entry will be removed, the second one will not be offloaded
anymore. When the first entry (in VXLAN FDB) will be removed / will not be
offloaded anymore, the two mappings in IPv6 hash tables will be removed.
In case that the second entry is removed before the first one, unexpected
warnings[1][2] will be shown in user space as a result of removing the
first entry. The issue is that not offloaded entry is removed, the driver
tries to search the relevant entries in the hash tables, does not find them
and therefore warns.
Do not handle removing of not offloaded VXLAN FDB entries, as they were
already removed when the offload flag was removed.

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.
