Merge branch 'mlxsw-spectrum_acl-Include-delta-bits-into-hashtable-key'
Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: spectrum_acl: Include delta bits into hashtable key The Spectrum-2 ASIC allows multiple rules to use the same mask provided that the difference between their masks is small enough (up to 8 consecutive delta bits). A more detailed explanation is provided in merge commit 756cd366 ("Merge branch 'mlxsw-Introduce-algorithmic-TCAM-support'"). These delta bits are part of the rule's key and therefore rules that only differ in their delta bits can be inserted with the same A-TCAM mask. In case two rules share the same key and only differ in their priority, then the second will spill to the C-TCAM. Current code does not take the delta bits into account when checking for duplicate rules, which leads to unnecessary spillage to the C-TCAM. This may result in reduced scale and performance. Patch #1 includes the delta bits in the rule's key to avoid the above mentioned problem. Patch #2 adds a tracepoint when a rule is inserted into the C-TCAM. Patches #3-#5 add test cases to make sure unnecessary spillage into the C-TCAM does not occur. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
