Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Add Spectrum-4 support This patchset adds Spectrum-4 support in mlxsw. It builds on top of a previous patchset merged in commit10184da916("Merge branch 'mlxsw-Spectrum-4-prep'") and makes two additional changes before adding Spectrum-4 support. Patchset overview: Patches #1-#2 add a few Spectrum-4 specific variants of existing ACL keys. The new variants are needed because the size of certain key elements (e.g., local port) was increased in Spectrum-4. Patches #3-#6 are preparations. Patch #7 implements the Spectrum-4 variant of the Bloom filter hash function. The Bloom filter is used to optimize ACL lookups by potentially skipping certain lookups if they are guaranteed not to match. See additional info in merge commitae6750e0a5("Merge branch 'mlxsw-spectrum_acl-Add-Bloom-filter-support'"). Patch #8 finally adds Spectrum-4 support. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220106160652.821176-1-idosch@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 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.
