Dear bug triager. This bug was created since a commit was marked with DOCIMPACT.
Your project "openstack/neutron" is set up so that we directly report the documentation bugs against it. If this needs changing, the docimpact-group option needs to be added for the project. You can ask the OpenStack infra team (#openstack-infra on freenode) for help if you need to.

commit 8ff25e725e148acf83ef6e1f6a3c445da00e3932

    hardware offload support for openvswitch
    
    In Kernel 4.8 we introduced Traffic Control (TC see [1]) hardware offloads
    framework for SR-IOV VFs which allows us to configure the NIC [2].
    Subsequent OVS patches [3] allow us to use the TC framework
    to offload OVS datapath rules.
    
    This patch allow OVS mech driver to bind direct (SR-IOV) port.
    This will allow to offload the OVS flows using tc to the SR-IOV NIC
    and gain accelerate OVS.
