Pipapo needs a scratchpad area to keep state during matching.
This state can be large and thus cannot reside on stack.
Each set preallocates percpu areas for this.
On each match stage, one scratchpad half starts with all-zero and the other
is inited to all-ones.
At the end of each stage, the half that starts with all-ones is
always zero. Before next field is tested, pointers to the two halves
are swapped, i.e. resmap pointer turns into fill pointer and vice versa.
After the last field has been processed, pipapo stashes the
index toggle in a percpu variable, with assumption that next packet
will start with the all-zero half and sets all bits in the other to 1.
This isn't reliable.
There can be multiple sets and we can't be sure that the upper
and lower half of all set scratch map is always in sync (lookups
can be conditional), so one set might have swapped, but other might
not have been queried.
Thus we need to keep the index per-set-and-cpu, just like the
scratchpad.
Note that this bug fix is incomplete, there is a related issue.
avx2 and normal implementation might use slightly different areas of the
map array space due to the avx2 alignment requirements, so
m->scratch (generic/fallback implementation) and ->scratch_aligned
(avx) may partially overlap. scratch and scratch_aligned are not distinct
objects, the latter is just the aligned address of the former.
After this change, write to scratch_align->map_index may write to
scratch->map, so this issue becomes more prominent, we can set to 1
a bit in the supposedly-all-zero area of scratch->map[].
A followup patch will remove the scratch_aligned and makes generic and
avx code use the same (aligned) area.
Its done in a separate change to ease review.

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.
