Ratheesh Kannoth says: ==================== octeontx2: *** Exact Match Table and Field hash *** *** Exact match table and Field hash support for CN10KB silicon *** Ratheesh Kannoth (11): These patch series enables exact match table in CN10KB silicon. Legacy silicon used NPC mcam to do packet fields/channel matching for NPC rules. NPC mcam resources exahausted as customer use case increased. Supporting many DMAC filter becomes a challenge, as RPM based filter count is less. Exact match table has 4way 2K entry table and a 32 entry fully associative cam table. Second table is to handle hash table collision overflows in 4way 2K entry table. Enabling exact match table results in KEX key to be appended with Hit/Miss status. This can be used to match in NPC mcam for a more generic rule and drop those packets than having DMAC drop rules for each DMAC entry in NPC mcam. octeontx2-af: Exact match support octeontx2-af: Exact match scan from kex profile octeontx2-af: devlink configuration support octeontx2-af: FLR handler for exact match table. octeontx2-af: Drop rules for NPC MCAM octeontx2-af: Debugsfs support for exact match. octeontx2: Modify mbox request and response structures octeontx2-af: Wrapper functions for mac addr add/del/update/reset octeontx2-af: Invoke exact match functions if supported octeontx2-pf: Add support for exact match table. octeontx2-af: Enable Exact match flag in kex profile Suman Ghosh (1): CN10KB variant of CN10K series of silicons supports a new feature where in a large protocol field (eg 128bit IPv6 DIP) can be condensed into a small hashed 32bit data. This saves a lot of space in MCAM key and allows user to add more protocol fields into the filter. A max of two such protocol data can be hashed. This patch adds support for hashing IPv6 SIP and/or DIP. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
