Set SMFS (SW-managed flow steering) as a default steering mode instead of DMFS (device-managed flow steering) In SMFS, the driver writes the STEs (Steering Table Entries) directly to the device's ICM, which allows for a higher rule insertion rate than through using FW command interface, as it is done in DMFS. SMFS/DMFS steering modes can be configured through devlink param 'flow_steering_mode'. The possible values are 'smfs' or 'dmfs'. The desired 'flow_steering_mode' param value should be set before enabling switchdev mode. Example: # devlink dev param set pci/0000:05:00.0 name flow_steering_mode smfs # devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:05:00.0 mode switchdev Signed-off-by: Yevgeny Kliteynik <kliteyn@nvidia.com>
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.
