Packets marked with 'offload_l3_fwd_mark' were already forwarded by a
capable device and should not be forwarded again by the kernel.
Therefore, have the kernel consume them.
The check is performed in ip{,6}_forward_finish() in order to allow the
kernel to process such packets in ip{,6}_forward() and generate required
exceptions. For example, ICMP redirects.

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.
