Vladimir Nikishkin April 5, 2023, 5:03 a.m. UTC
Add userspace support for the nolocalbypass vxlan netlink
attribute. With nolocalbypass, if an entry is pointing to the
local machine, but the system driver is not listening on this
port, the driver will not drop packets, but will forward them
to the userspace network stack instead.
