Currently, the type (i.e., IPv4/IPv6) of the nexthop group is derived
from the neighbour table associated with the group.
This is problematic when nexthop objects are taken into account, as a
nexthop group object can contain both IPv4 and IPv6 nexthops.
Instead, add a new field that indicates the type of the group and
initialize it during the group's creation. Currently, the types are IPv4
('struct fib_info') and IPv6 ('struct fib6_info'). In the future another
type will be added for nexthop objects ('struct nexthop').

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.
