While creating rule, ste_arr is an array that is allocated at the start of the function and freed at the end. This memory allocation can sometimes lead to "hiccups" of up to 10ms. However, the common use case is short chains of STEs. For such cases, we can use a local buffer on stack instead. Changes in v2: Use small local array for short rules, allocate dynamically for long rules Signed-off-by: Yevgeny Kliteynik <kliteyn@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Vesker <valex@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>
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.
