matchall rules can be added only to chain 0 and their priorities have limitations: - new matchall ingress rule's priority must be higher (lower value) than any existing flower rule; - new matchall egress rule's priority must be lower (higher value) than any existing flower rule. The opposite works for flower rule adding: - new flower ingress rule's priority must be lower (higher value) than any existing matchall rule; - new flower egress rule's priority must be higher (lower value) than any existing matchall rule. This is a hardware limitation and thus must be properly handled in driver by reporting errors to the user when newly added rule has such a priority that cannot be installed into the hardware. To achieve this, the driver must maintain both min/max matchall priorities for every flower block when user adds/deletes a matchall rule, as well as both min/max flower priorities for chain 0 for every adding/deletion of flower rules for chain 0.

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.
