Kernel Source and devicetree for NOTHING Phone(3a) and Phone(3a)Pro
Most of the time spent on adding new flow steering rule is executing the firmware command. The most common action is adding a new flow steering entry. In order to enhance the update rate we parallelize the commands by doing the following: 1) Replace the mutex lock with readers-writers semaphore and take the write lock only when necessary (e.g. allocating a new flow table entry index or adding a node to the parent's children list). When we try to find a suitable child in the parent's children list (e.g. search for flow group with the same match_criteria of the rule) then we only take the read lock. 2) Add versioning mechanism - each steering entity (FT, FG, FTE, DST) will have an incremental version. The version is increased when the entity is changed (e.g. when a new FTE was added to FG - the FG's version is increased). Versioning is used in order to determine if the last traverse of an entity's children is valid or a rescan under write lock is required. This support improves the insertion rate of steering rules from ~5k/sec to ~40k/sec. Signed-off-by: Maor Gottlieb <maorg@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
