Change steering flow to optimize traffic in promiscuous mode. On demand, add a high priority table containing a catch-all rule. All incoming packets are caught by this rule and steered directly to the TTC table. Prior to this change, packets in promiscuous mode may suffer from up to 4 steering hops before reaching TTC table. In addition, this patch will allow us adding a catch-all rule at the end of MAC table to serve MAC trap, with no impact on promiscuous mode performance.

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.
