Currently, mlxsw supports a single sampling trigger type (i.e., received packet). When sampling is configured on an ingress port, the sampling parameters (e.g., pointer to the psample group) are stored as an attribute of the port, so that they could be passed to psample_sample_packet() when a sampled packet is trapped to the CPU. Subsequent patches are going to add more types of sampling triggers, making it difficult to maintain the current scheme. Instead, store all the active sampling triggers with their associated parameters in a hash table. That way, more trigger types can be easily added. The next patch will flip mlxsw to use the hash table instead of the current scheme. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
