My impression from working on this problem in TC is that the definition of "all" becomes problematic especially if one takes into account drivers getting reloaded. But I think routing offload has stronger semantics than TC, so no objections.
During the teardown phase of the reload, all the routes using the driver's netdevs (or their uppers) will be deleted by the kernel because the netdevs will disappear. During the init phase of the reload, the driver will re-register its FIB notifier and ask for a dump of all the existing routes (usually only host routes). With this patchset, user space will receive a notification that these routes are now in hardware. # ip monitor route broadcast 127.255.255.255 dev lo table local proto kernel scope link src 127.0.0.1 local 127.0.0.1 dev lo table local proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 local 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 broadcast 127.0.0.0 dev lo table local proto kernel scope link src 127.0.0.1 broadcast 10.209.1.255 dev eth0 table local proto kernel scope link src 10.209.0.191 local 10.209.0.191 dev eth0 table local proto kernel scope host src 10.209.0.191 broadcast 10.209.0.0 dev eth0 table local proto kernel scope link src 10.209.0.191 10.209.0.1 dev eth0 proto dhcp scope link src 10.209.0.191 metric 1024 10.209.0.0/23 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.209.0.191 default via 10.209.0.1 dev eth0 proto dhcp src 10.209.0.191 metric 1024 << init phase starts here >> default via 10.209.0.1 dev eth0 proto dhcp src 10.209.0.191 metric 1024 rt_trap 10.209.0.0/23 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.209.0.191 rt_trap 10.209.0.1 dev eth0 proto dhcp scope link src 10.209.0.191 metric 1024 rt_trap broadcast 10.209.0.0 dev eth0 table local proto kernel scope link src 10.209.0.191 rt_trap local 10.209.0.191 dev eth0 table local proto kernel scope host src 10.209.0.191 rt_trap broadcast 10.209.1.255 dev eth0 table local proto kernel scope link src 10.209.0.191 rt_trap broadcast 127.0.0.0 dev lo table local proto kernel scope link src 127.0.0.1 rt_trap local 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 rt_trap local 127.0.0.1 dev lo table local proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 rt_trap broadcast 127.255.255.255 dev lo table local proto kernel scope link src 127.0.0.1 rt_trap
