This commit introduces basic classification offloading support for the PPv2 controller. The PPv2 classifier has many classification engines, for now we only use the C2 TCAM match engine. This engine allows to perform ternary lookups on 64 bits keys (called Header Extracted Key), that are built by extracting fields from the packet header and concatenating them. At most 4 fields can be extracted for a single lookup. This basic implementation allows to build the HEK from the following fields : - L4 source and destination ports (for UDP and TCP) More fields are to be added in the future. Classification flows are added through the ethtool interface, using the newly introduced flow_rule infrastructure as an internal rule representation, allowing to more easily implement tc flower rules if need be. The internal design for now allocates one range of 4 rules per port due to the internal design of the flow table, which uses 22 sub-flows. When inserting a classification rule, the rule is created in every relevant sub-flow. This low rule-count is a very simple design which reaches quickly the limitations of the flow table ordering, but guarantees that the rule ordering will always be respected. This commit only introduces support for the "steer to rxq" action. Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier <maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
