Each FIB entry has a type (e.g., remote, local) that determines how the entry is programmed to the device. In order to determine if the entry is local (directly connected) or remote (has a gateway) the relevant FIB info structures (e.g., 'struct fib_info') are checked. When entries that use nexthop objects are supported, these checks will need to be changed to take into account 'struct nexthop'. Instead, first associate the entry with a nexthop group so that the next patch could determine the entry's type based on the associated nexthop group's type.

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.
