Each FIB node holds a linked list of routes sharing the same prefix and
length. In the case of IPv4 it's ordered according to table ID, metric
and TOS and only the first route in the list is actually programmed to
the device.
In case a gatewayed route is added somewhere in the list, then after its
nexthop group will be refreshed and become valid (due to the resolution
of its gateway), it'll mistakenly overwrite the existing entry.
Example:
192.168.200.0/24 dev enp3s0np3 scope link metric 1000 offload
192.168.200.0/24 via 192.168.100.1 dev enp3s0np3 metric 1000 offload
Both routes are marked as offloaded despite the fact only the first one
should actually be present in the device's table.
When refreshing the nexthop group, don't write the route to the device's
table unless it's the first in its node.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
