Tariq Toukan says: ==================== net/mlx5e: CT: Add support for hardware steering This series start with one more HWS patch by Yevgeny, followed by patches that add support for connection tracking in hardware steering mode. It consists of: - patch #2 hooks up the CT ops for the new mode in the right places. - patch #3 moves a function into a common file, so it can be reused. - patch #4 uses the HWS API to implement connection tracking. The main advantage of hardware steering compared to software steering is vastly improved performance when adding/removing/updating rules. Using the T-Rex traffic generator to initiate multi-million UDP flows per second, a kernel running with these patches was able to offload ~600K unique UDP flows per second, a number around ~7x larger than software steering was able to achieve on the same hardware (256-thread AMD EPYC, 512 GB RAM, ConnectX 7 b2b). ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250114130646.1937192-1-tariqt@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
