Native capability for some steering engines lacks support for adding an additional match with the same value to the same flow group. To accommodate the NO APPEND flag in these scenarios, we include the new rule in the existing flow table entry (fte) without immediate hardware commitment. When a request is made to delete the corresponding hardware rule, we then commit the pending rule to hardware. Only one pending rule is supported because NO_APPEND is primarily used during replacement operations. In this scenario, a rule is initially added. When it needs replacement, the new rule is added with NO_APPEND set. Only after the insertion of the new rule is the original rule deleted.

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.
